Create Web Application on SharePoint Server 2013

This blog post is specially for SharePoint beginners. If you have read my previous blog about SharePoint Server 13 installation and configuration. This blog is about creating web application and creating site collection.

So let’s open SharePoint Central Administration Page.

Navigate to Manage Web Applications >> Click on New web Application

IIS web site name : <Enter name>

Select Port : ( I don’t have any web application created before, So it’s taking port 80)

Application Pool Name : <Enter name>

note : I am going to create Team Site under this web application, So I’ve given TeamSite name to Application name and 80 to remember this application pool is on port 80.

Content Database name : I’ve added _80 to differentiate in Content database.

 

We can select Service Application those will be connected to web application we are creating.

Click on OK to Create web application. This will take few seconds.

Once the web applicaiton is created. Go to Application Management >> Create Site Collection
