OK, I see more clear ...

The problem is due to my AAM (Alternate Access Mappings) and to IIS redirection.

In AAM, I have configured a http://FQDN URL as public URL for Default zone (SharePoint - 80)
In IIS, I have configured a HTTP redirection from http://servername to http://FQDN

Removing both fix the problem !!

But it is not acceptable for me, I need it working with these configurations!

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

Hi everybody,

I run MOSS2007 on WS2k8.

Within My Site, the "SharePoint Sites" web part allows you quickly browse the site you are member and view documents you authored and tasks assigned to you.

It used to work until few days ago.

I don't know why, the sub-web part "Tasks" is no more present within the "SharePoint Sites" web part whichever site you choose (except "My Site" tab). So, users are unable to see their tasks. Only authored documents are displayed.

Editing the page does not change anything.

After investigation, I see the problem is caused by both my AAM (Alternate Access Mappings) and to IIS redirection.

In AAM, I have configured a http://FQDN URL as public URL for Default zone (SharePoint - 80)
In IIS, I have configured a HTTP redirection from http://servername to http://FQDN

Removing both fix the problem !!

But it is not acceptable for me, I need it working with these configurations!

Could anybody help, please?

Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Ruben,

Based on your description, your concern is that how to configure AAM without breaking MySite features.

For your reference, to specify FQDN as public URL, you should extend your web application to a zone.

In the wizard, specify the FQDN in the Host Header box.

See Plan for host-named site collections (Office SharePoint Server) (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc424952.aspx) for more information.

Let me know if you need further information.

Not exactly. Actually the problem is due to the HTTP redirection I've set from http://server to http://FQDN. Hence, I have to remove the redirection to have My Site "SharePoint Sites" web part working.

This is because My site web application (different from the 80) systematically point to http://server and does not seem to support HTTP redirection. So MOSS sites must be available at http://server to have "SharePoint Sites" web part working.

How to force My Site web application to point to http://FQDN?

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

Hi, Your requirement is that force MySite web application to http://FQDN without using HTTP redirection.
It could be achieved by extend your web application with host header “FQDN” specified.

Could you please try the above steps and let me know the result?

Thanks Lambert for responding.

I have resolved the problem doing the following:

- Remove all HTTP redirection from IIS

Then in AAM:

- set http://FQDN as Default public URL in port 80 AAM collection
- add http://servername as new internal URL for port 80 AAM collection

HTH
