Re: Creating alternate domains - manually??



Your name seems very famililar so I suppose we can dispense *for you* with the usual warnings about amending the database directly because you have seen those warnings already and chose to disregard them,

However for the benefit of others reading this post here is my standard warning.

------------
- Microsoft strongly recommend against making any changes directly to the
database. (In fact they even go as far as to advise that you don't even read
it directly which to my mind is overkill).
- Microsoft will probably not support your SP system in future if you have
at some stage amended the database directly.
- Problems with such an amendment may become apparent several months later.
- If you have other problems in future you will never know whether these are
caused by your db amendments or not (also other people will be unable to
help you because they won't have the same environment)
- amendments to the database should only be done either via the UI or via
use of the API.

Howdy,

I have a WSS 2.0 (i think? not the latest version) setup in AD Creation mode. I just created a new virtual server and created a site to it using a local DNS name. I now want to give it access from outside our network, so I setup IIS with the correct host header, then I run the following

stsadm -o addalternatedomain -url http://wss.domain.local -incomingurl http://wss.domaintwo.com -urlzone Internet

And it adds successfully, however I cannot hit the site. To resolve I went into the sts_config database, to sites table, then manually changed the domain wss.domain.local to wss.domaintwo.com and viola, it works! The internal domain name still works as well. Am I missing something, why doesn't the addalternatedomain work properly? What is it suppose to do? Add another record to the Sites table?

Thanks,

David Lozzi
