Re: Create a site from command line

Hi there,

I get the same error message, but my scenario is a little different.

I created this web app in prodcution "mysharepoint.com" at port 80 with host
header. Eventually, this site was bound to port 443 using SSL Binding.
Because it was live in production, I cannot just delete and recreate it. Now
I want to create another web app using the same host header, but pointing to
port 80 instead and I got this error message. On IIS, I took out the host
header value for the https app but somehow Sharepoint still thinks that this
app is still bound to port 80.

Please help.

Hi super1,

I am glad to hear that the information is helpful. Thank you for your
additional sharing and feedbacks. I believe that other newsgroup customers
will benefit from it.

It is my pleasure to work with you on this issue. For your reference, I
have summarized this issue as the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Problem Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When customer was trying to create a new web application from the command
line. He got an error saying the IIS Web site you have selected is in use
by SharePoint.
If he ran the exact same script again and changed the -url from https:// to
http://, it worked.

Here are the command script:
stsadm -o extendvs
-url https://chemistry.sharepointdev.company.com
-ownerlogin DOMAIN\ACCOUNT
-owneremail EMAIL@xxxxxxxxxxx
-exclusivelyusentlm
-databaseserver spssqldev-1
-databasename WSS_ChemistryContent
-description chemistry.sharepointdev.company.com
-apidname AASharePoint

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cause
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The parameter "url" indicated the name of the Web application and the value
should be a valid URL name, such as http://server_name:Port, SharePoint
would get the port number from the parameter.
If you didn't specify the port number in the "url" parameter, SharePoint
will use the default port number 80 for http and 443 for https

There was a site existed in the port 80, the error "the IIS Web site you
have selected is in use" should be shown if you created another site
without specifying the host header in the same port.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Resolution
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Add the parameter "sethostheader" in order to enable the host header.

After the web application created, you need to create a site collection
using "stsadm -o createsite" command.
