Configure Apps for SharePoint 2013 in dev environment without DNS

I have a SP 2013 dev env
http://spitlab/ .I want to configure app store in this environment 
will I be able to do it without access to a DNS server 
I followed the below two articles 
http://www.ashokraja.me/post/Develop-SharePoint-2013-Napa-App-In-Local-Dev-Environment-Configuring-On-Premises-without-DNS.aspx
I am able to install third party apps but when I click on it . it gets redirected to sfs.in 
next i try this 
http://sharepointconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2013/07/shortcut-to-prepare-sharepoint-2013-app.html
same thing I am able to install 3rd party apps but when i click on it .. it goes to intranet.com 
so is it possible to install third party apps on a dev box without DNS and check out third party apps and if what steps am i missing ?

Hi,
If you click the 3rd party apps and it is redirected to sfs.in or intranet.com, this means you configured app domain correctly.
You can read the official document per the following first link to understand what app domain is (with DNS configured), app domain format is as bellow image (borrowed from this
article), and app domain is defined as you want(e.g. ContosoApps.com).
Without DNS, as your above two articles described, the app domain (e.g. apps.com, or apps.sfs.in) is written manually in hosts file directly, you can construct an app domain as your own, then after you install a custom developed app, it should be the following
app url format.

  • Configuring Apps for SharePoint 2013 - Host Header Sites

    Hi All
    I am busy planning our Apps for SharePoint deployment and one gotcha seems to be sites that use host headers. Our current deployment consists of the following:
    2x WFE's (WFESRV1 and WFESRV2)
    2x App Servers (APPSRV1 and APPSRV2)
    The WFE's are load-balanced and we have 2 sites, portal.intranet.com and mysite.intranet.com. Both use host headers. I have gotten to the point where I will have a DNS zone called companyapps.com and a CNAME *.companyapps.com.
    To which site do I point the CNAME to and what if I need both sites to be App enabled? Also, a lot of sites mention I need a empty site collection on a separate IP in order to use Apps with host headers. How would I use this empty site collection and
    what would I name it?
    We are on the March 2013 update.

    May Be I understand your question as *.companyapps.com should be pointed to sharepoint server but where in IIS binding would you map *.companyapps.com
    Actually, When you configure the APPS on server, the central admin > apps > you have to mention this *.companyapps.com. Now all apps will be "(yourname)-guid.companyapps.com"
    Then you will have to create a app catalog where all the app related details will be stored
    When App service application is created it is automatically added to default service connection. and this service connection to mapped to other web application(Application management, you see service connection)
    If all is configured well apps will automatically work for all web apps

  • Configure an Environment for Apps for SharePoint 2013

    hH,
    We are building QA environment for Sharepoint 2013. For this my management asked me to configure the APPS store. But when i referred the MSDN article, they are suggesting
    " You must purchase a domain name from a domain name provider for your apps, for example, ContosoApps.com."
    Which is not possible in my case as purchasing a new domain requires lot of approvals also this is an QA environment.
    So please suggest on the below points
    1) whats wrong to build a sub domain like APPS.XXXX.COM instead of XXXXAPPS.COM
    2) since it is in a QA environment, is it necessary to have a SSL  ??
    3) is it need to have a different APPS stores for QA & PROD environments.
    Thanks,
    Praveen
    Sharepoint HELP

    Hi Praveen,
    you don't need to buy a domain use your internal DNS
    no need for SSL since it is QA
    i think you mean app catalog, each environment will be having it app catalog

  • Create Task with C# - App for SharePoint 2013

    Hi everyone,
    I need to create an app that can manage holiday for my company and we want to sync the demand Holiday with their tasks in Project Server 2013.
    Unfortunatly, I cannot find how to add a task with an "App for SharePoint 2013" and in C#.
    I've tried to add the task by entering an entry in the Project Server database but unfortunatly, it does not work.
    Are there an other way to create task programmatically in Project Server 2013 ?
    Thanks by advance,

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use resource files in your SharePoint app project.

  • Office Web Apps Load Balancing Configuration Issue for SharePoint 2013

    I have load balanced servers dedicated for Office Web Apps with name “md1xxxwfe1” and “md1xxxwfe2” 
    , both this servers are load balanced by CISCO Load balancer. And I have mapped Load Balancer Virutal IP with host name officeapps.jda.corp.local in the DNS records.
     Things are working fine if I add new farm by using New-OfficeWebAppsFarm
     with server name as internalurl in PowerShell console
     as like “  -internalurl http://

    Please help me
    Thanks, Ram Ch

    Hi  Ram ,
    For  troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
    Just about any load balancing solution will work, including a server that runs the Web Server (IIS) role running Application Request Routing (ARR):Install
    Application Request Routing
    Install the certificate on the load balancer as described under Securing Office Web Apps Server communications by using
    HTTPS.
    Make sure you have configured the cluster correctly for full internet name:

  • Configuring apps in sharepoint 2013 onpremises

    Hi,
    we have a lab environment for sharepoint 2013 with
    1) Domain controller (domain : test.local)
    2) SharePoint server { SQL Server 2012 (full install), SharePoint 2013 (full install)}
    Now we would like to configure sharepoint 2013 apps in our environment. In the TechNet blogs and articles ,it says to create a unique domain for the sharepoint apps ... does this mean,we have to create one more domain (one more server)  or just add
    a domain in the DNS and perform the configuration ? 
    Below is the point from the TechNet article :
    When choosing your App domain for each farm, you have 2 options:
    1.Create a new unique domain to host your SharePoint-hosted Apps in, or
    2.Create a sub-domain of the existing domain.
    The recommendation is to create a new unique domain such as contosoapps.com rather than a sub-domain such as apps.contoso.com. 
    If you could help me out with steps for configuring the same .. that would be helpful .

    Hi Suren,
    it does not mean you need to create one more server, you just add a domain forward lookup.
    Yes, the recommendation is create a unique domain which internally gets forwared to your domain.
    You need to configure forward lookup zone for your apps (here in this example contosoapps.com), in layman terms it is just an alias for your existing domains.
    I think you are refering to this URL -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236.aspx
    and if you have already followed those steps mentioned in Configure the domain names in DNS (all hosting options)
    and go to " To create a wildcard Alias (CNAME) record for the new domain name" 
    and do ping Apps-12345678ABCDEF.yourdomain.com
    to see whether you get reply from above ping.
    The steps that are given in the above link is easy to perform, do let me know where you got stuck.
    Hope this helps!

  • Installating and Configuring RBS for SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    I was following this article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748631(v=office.15).aspx#provision in
    order to provision the BLOB Store for Content Database, in the step no.6 and the third SQL query, it is asking me to create a folder under “C” directory called ‘Blobstore’ which is on the same SQL server but here I would like to use some other remote server
    or network shared drive other than current SQL database server in order to provision ‘Blobstore’. Please advise if it is possible?
    Just FYI my client is not ready to use any third party tools in order to do any configuration.<o:p></o:p>
    Thanks in advance

    It is not possible using the Microsoft RBS provider. The storage must be presented as a local volume to the SQL Server (this includes volumes mounted over an iSCSI or Fiber Channel interface, for example).

    Hi Harminder,
    This happens because an app has already been deployed and you are deploying it again using the same version.
    Resolution:
    Open the AppManifest.xml file and change the version.

  • Configure an environment for apps for SharePoint (SharePoint 2013)

    I am trying to follow the instructions in the article, "Configure an environment for apps for SharePoint (SharePoint 2013)". I have purchased an additional domain for the apps. However, in step 2 it says to create a CNAME from that domain to my
    sharepoint domain. 
    Which site do I point the CNAME to? I have 2 host-named site collections for my application.

    Since you say there are no dumb questions here goes:
    I think my web server is IIS. If that is the case, I have 2 sites in IIS, the "Default" which is the WHS2011 remote login page and "SharePoint-80" which is the name of my SharePoint application. There is nothing in IIS that
    has My internal server name.domain.XXX. There is a domain name that came with WHS2011 of XXX.homeserver.com (the "Default" site). I purchased a domain for my SharePoint site collections. Again, neither of these uses my internal server name so
    I know I am missing something here.

  • Development environment for SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    We have requirement for one of the project. Team size would be approximately 30 resources. Development would be entirely for SharePoint 2013 Intranet solution. this will be OOTB Intranet application. We will be developing InfoPath forms and Nintex Workflows.
    For such requirement we would like to setup local development environment by using either Virtual Machines.
    Can anyone help me to identify that how many VM's would be required for the same? How many simultaneous users can use and work at a time? What other things I need to consider for infrastructure? How can i suggest the best possible solution for this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set up the environment for SharePoint Development.
    Here is a detailed article about configuring development environment:
    Setting up a SharePoint 2013 Development Environment
    For VM count, it depends on your project development requirements, for VM license and management ,if you are using Hyper-V, I suggest you can create posts in Hyper-V forum:

    --SP2 for SQL Server 2008 R2
    --SP1 for Winows Server 2008 R2

    --Sharepoint 2013 Designer
    --Installed March and August 2013 Cumulative Updates for SharePoint 2013
    --Installed SP1 for SharePoint 2013
    I want to ask do i need to install Windows Updates after installing different updates as i mentioned above because everty now and then windows updates message keep pops up and i did'nt install windows updates yet.
    Why is it necessary or what impact window updates would have on my environment if i need to do it??

    Windows Updates cover security updates as well as stability improvements, and so on. You're simply patching SharePoint and SQL in the above case.
    It should be noted that any SharePoint patches that come down through Windows Update need to be manually handled as you'll need to run the Config Wizard (e.g. MS14-022 and MS14-050 which are SharePoint updates).
    When you're installing SharePoint 2013, you only need to install SP1 if that is your target. There is no requirement to install March 2013 or August 2013.

  • Workflow is not visible for a list in an app in SharePoint 2013

    Hello All,
    I have created an app in SharePoint 2013 and added a basic workflow in this app.
    Though the solution gets deployed successfully, workflow is not visible in list --> Workflow Settings.
    Has anyone faced this kind of issue in SP 2013 App ? Please provide your inputs to resolve this issue.
    Thanks.

    Hi Supratim,
    I would suggest you that you try to analyze the workflow log and see where the workitem goes exactly.
    See if the workflow goes into error or if the workflow gets routed to the wrong agent.
    Also let us know how the agent determination is being done?
    Is it been done using rule or is it static agent assignment?
