Ok... before anyone decides that this post does not belong on this forum, please hear me out...
While in the process of adding ssl certs to my sharepoint farm, it appears I must have done something to break the communication between IIS and SharePoint. None of my web apps would load... all giving this error:
This page can't be displayed
- Make sure the web address is correct.
- Look for the page with your search engine.
- Refresh the page in a few minutes.
After messing around a bit, I decided to remove all web apps via Central Admin... then I looked at iis... and low and behold, all of the web apps were still present. So... I deleted them manually from both of my sp servers for this farm.
I then created a web app and tried to access....same error... checked iis and the newly created web app did not get created, even though CA shows that it exists. I have a fully functioning farm with sites... but it's not much good if IIS doesn't render them! ;)
Any insight? Suggestions?
