I'm trying to setup a local application on a subdomain on our company server. There is already an installation of sharepoint running on http://companyweb/
, but I would like my application to run on http://orders.companyweb/
.
I tried creating a new website, leaving the IP address the same as it is for http://companyweb
, and just changing the host header value to orders.companyweb
. However, no matter where I try to access the site from (different computers around the network, including the server itself), I keep getting 404 errors.
I then tried setting up a simple index.html
and serving that up as the highest priority; however, I still got 404 errors. This makes me think that I have actually setup the site itself wrong.
What should I change to be able to access this application correctly on all the local computers?

This method worked for me; I hope that it might be of use to someone else as well. Sorry for such a long list, but it takes a bit to get working.
