SharePoint 2013 – "This page can’t be displayed" when clicking on an app
I have just created an App Catalog in SharePoint 2013 but after adding an app from the SharePoint store I tried to configure it and received the following message:
This page can’t be displayed
It turned out that I had neglected to configure DNS for the app domain. Here the steps required to configure DNS for the app domain:
Step 1 – Create the zone
- In DNS Manager, right-click Forward Lookup Zones, and then click New Zone…
- In the New Zone Wizard click Next
- Accept the default of Primary zone and then Next
- Select the appropriate replication method for your environment (I always use the default option: To all DNS servers in this domain). Click Next
- Enter the name for the new zone, such as apps.yourdomain.local and click Next
- Select the appropriate type of dynamic updates for your environment (I always use the default option: Allow only secure dynamic updates). Click Next.
- Click Finish
Step 2 – Create CNAME record (*.apps.yourdomain.local)
- In DNS Manager, right-click the new zone and choose New Alias (CNAME)…
- In the Alias Name box enter “*” and in the FQDN for target host enter the address for the sharepoint server. Click OK
One complete I could ping any host in the new app domain:
Hi Thank you for the blog. Done all the steps above but still having the same error and Fiddler shows connection refused so any idea what could be wrong?
