I wanted to start using some Microsoft Apps in SharePoint.
I followed the steps provided by Nauman in this excellent tutorial on how to setup an Apps site.
http://www.naumanahmed.com/2012/07/sharepoint-2013-app-management-service.html?q=app
I set it up, I can download apps, I can do everything to get them on my site.
But I have one big problem (which I expected from when I started this and was hoping it wouldn't be a problem.
Getting the Apps to load on other sites and I think it is a: (drum roll please)
DNS Issue.
Ok, so I setup the site using my internal domain (as expected in step 1-2-3.
But since my FQDN is ms.local instead of being tied to my actual business domain name. I wasn't expecting any problems with this when I initially set this up.
Now I have problems when I download apps and get them setup but when I access apps from other sites. It links me to:
As you can tell this is not a part of the .com domain name I made in alternate access mappings for apps.mycompany.com.
And I get this error:
- Make sure the web address http://apps-30deab43fb2791.apps.ms.localis correct.
- Look for the page with your search engine.
- Refresh the page in a few minutes.
How can I change my DNS to reflect that it works properly with the apps site, I am not going to rebuild my server to accommodate a change in Domain names.
Please help.
