TFS 2008 on Windows Server 2008 with MOSS 2007 and SQL 2008

Ok kids. This was a big headache for me, but I got it all worked out so that I can help you out. Basically what we had here was Windows Server 2008 with SQL 2008, MOSS 2007 SP1, and TFS 2008 SP1. I had another server running Active Directory (AD) that was also Windows Server 2008.

TFS 2008 would not allow me to install it using my MOSS 2007 server with my web application "http://quarry.limestone.local". So, I tried another one "http://stone/". Still no luck. Apparently, it doesn't like anything other than the server name. Here's the 2nd gotcha: you have to use another port than 80.

So, here's a screenshot of what did work:



I hope that helps you guys out and saves you the headache (if you found this post or one of my other posts on this topic on other sites).

Cheers.
