I installed ArcGIS for Server 10.1 (uninstalled version 10 and installed) and tried to create new site after the installation with ArcGIS Server Manager that popped up.  I created primary site administrator account, specified root server directory and configuration store,  then clicked Finish button.  Error message was on Configuration Summary dialog box. "Failed to create the site.  Failed to create the folder 'System'.  Failed to clear REST cache onone or more server machines.  Please check the log for more details."  What is the cause of these problems and how do I solve these issues?

Hello again,

I am still having problems because I cannot change the domain name (which is part of the hostname). We are beginning a massive project to change the domain name, but I cannot wait until this has been done (12 months maybe).

Is there a way I can trick the install NOT to use the FQDN of the server I am installing to?

I am going to keep trying things and will post any progress.


Are you not able to just take the machine out of domain? That would solve the issue. Other than that, I don't think there is a work around.

I had the same problem listed above.  I am installing on a new windows server 2008 r2 system with no other programs on the system.  I was given the name of the system from Site administration and can not change it.  They set them in the DNS server and the names conform to their naming conventions.  Anyway I uninstalled AGS and went into /window/system32/drivers/etc/host and added an entry for the IP that they have me however I changed the name to something that has no dashes or underscores. Like this 111.xxx.33.33  newhostname.  Where the old name was new-host-name.  Then I reinstalled AGS and all is well installation went by the book after that.  Apparently AGS looks to the host file before it looks for the name on DNS.  So name it what you want locally and let them call you what they want externally.
