Hello,
I've just installed Windows Server 2008 RC0 with Team Foundation Server.

First of all, Share Point services put themselves on the 80 port. Is there
any problem with just changing the port?

Okay, now the problem: I can access the site from local computer and I
want to do so from internet as well. So I assigned an address to the site in
IIS7, left it on the 80 port. Now, when I open the browser and log on, it
shows me this exception:

------------------------

Access is denied.

I use Windows authentication. What am I doing wrong? Or how could I
configure the SharePoint Services to by accessible from internet?

Thanks,
Jan

Windows Server 2008 is still a beta product so questions on problems
using it go to the beta newsgroups for that product.

Once it has been released, you are welcome to post questions on using
WSS 3.0 with it here - but not before.

Okay Mike, so I understand your reply as this is the problem of Windows
Server, since both WSS 3 and IIS7 are released.

All I'm saying is that the public SharePoint newsgroups support running
WSS 3.0 on the platforms for which it is specified. That is today
Windows Server 2003.

As soon as Windows Server 2008 is a released product then installing WSS
3.0 on that (which will a) use the same download that we use today for
WSS 3.0 installations on Windows Server 2003 and b) presumably have
Windows Server 2008 included by Microsoft in the list of supported
products) will be supported in the SP newsgroups.

Until then, why not install Windows Server 2003 and install WSS 3.0 on that.

If you then have questions in that environment (even if they are the
same ones as here) then we'll be glad to deal with them.

But people running betas know the rules for betas - if in doubt the
problem lies with the product that is in beta.

Yes Mike. I am just completely new to the SharePoint Services and don't know
where to ask. I agree with you and I'd be glad if you could point me to the
place where you think it is appropriate to ask.

*My memory* of the installation procedure for WSS 3.0 on Windows Server
2008 is that you can amend the port number you do the initial install on.

What is certain is that you can at any time create another top-level
site that uses a different port.

The main problem however may well be something that only affects Windows
Server 2008.

Certainly you can access a WSS 3.0 site from the Internet provided the
server running it is accessible from the Internet and DNS is set up
correctly.

One thing you need to do (again in a normal environment ..) is to
specify Alternate Access Mappings if you want to be able to access
internally linked pages once you have got entry from the Internet to the
default.aspx page.

How's that for a freudian slip ?

That should have been "my memory of the installation procedure .... for
Windows Server ****2003*****" !

(P.S.) It seems likely that IIS7 isn't available outside Windows Server
2008 at the moment and so that would mean it hasn't been released either!

Can you give a source that says it's released software ?

Hi Mike,

Actually, IIS7 is available with some versions of Windows Vista,
although it is not installed by default. However there doesn't seem to
be any clarity if this is a final version or a beta (or RC). IIS.net
still refers to IIS7 as a beta product (RC0), but all the documentation
about IIS7 in Windows Vista mentions nothing about it being a beta.

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/10aac45e-e993-42a2-bf93-275375d662631033.mspx?mfr=true
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/03/IIS7/default.aspx

This is a bit on the sideline of the original topic, and I don't meant o
be nitpicking but I just thought I'd clarify.

Frode A.

No, it's fine. I'm glad of any clarification.

In between the post saying it was released and me replying I checked
with a Microsoft contact but I presume he was thinking only of Server
software and not of Vista.

Hi, yes I thought about IIS7 on Vista, I hoped that "IIS7" is (or is going
to be) the same product, on server or on Vista.

Well still, is there any "beta" newsgroup or forum? Since I still think this
is more WSS question than Widows one, or at least that people from Windows
will need people from WSS to look into it either way, don't they? :)

I've already given you some guidelines as to how this would work in
Windows Server 2003. Until Windows Server 2008 is in production that's
all that's available here.

Again in a mix of beta and other products, you assume any problems are
caused by the beta product unless you can duplicate using a full set of
non duplicate products.

If you feel your problems are with WSS 3.0, install Windows Server 2003
and reproduce them in that environment.

That's funny Mike,

Microsoft RECOMMENDS posting to the microsoft public newsgroups about
their BETA product:

Contact Us
Is this guide helpful? Does the Windows Server 2008 product
documentation meet your needs? Let us know how we're doing:
· Post to our newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.server.documentation

Where are you getting these rules from that you are enforcing against
the public newsgroup users?

Jan asked several times for the beta newsgroups you are referring to,
why do you continually refrain from providing them?

Sorry you had to spend time dealing with this Jan... It's something he
likes to do:

They are recommending posting to a *Windows Server* newsgroup. That's
the product that is in beta and it is their decision for their newsgroup.

I'm only repeating standard practice that if there is a problem with a
system with many products where one is in beta, the beta is judged to be
the cause of the problem.

Hence the requests to do the same things in a non-beta environment and
then ask the question if the same problem appears with the SharePoint
product in that *non-beta* environment.

It seems perfectly reasonable to me.

But mike, they didn't post to a BETA newsgroup like you are bossing
around everyone else to do. Why did Microsoft break your rules Mike?
Aren't you going to yell at them?

Yeah betas usually have problems, but thats why we have newsgroups
like these to have people help us figure that out.

Beta, RC, SP1, SP2, it doesnt matter. This is a Sharepoint GENERAL
newsgroup for asking general questions about sharepoint.

When are you going to answer these question that you keep ignoring?
