• Check SharePoint Virtual Server settings - Because SharePoint will now be running on a different virtual server than the other Web applications, it will be necessary to make sure that the following settings are correct:

1. Bound to internal IP address on port 80 with host headers of: %servername% and %servername.localdomainname%

2. Bound to internal IP address on port 80 and port 444 for all host headers.

3. Also include support for localhost with 127.0.0.1 with host headers of step 1.
