Problem
You get a server URL validation error after entering the URLs in the SPF Server Details when creating a new Web Client site using the site creation wizard in Server Manager.
Common Causes
The Validate URLs check box is selected by default and ensures that the entered server URLs are validated. You might encounter this problem because:
-
The URL entered is incorrect.
-
The URL entered is for a site on an application server that is protected by a firewall.
Solution
If you have a URL validation error, you can clear the Validate URLs check box. The validation then only checks that the URL is in the correct format. This allows you to progress to the next page of the wizard and create a site. You can update the Web Client site URLs with correct details in Server Manager later.
