SharePoint 2013 : Cannot connect to the targeted site.

On my Contoso environment I was trying to create a sandboxed solution. I have already configured my app domain and app management services. But when I tried to validate the site I got the following error message.

Error



 Cannot connect to the targeted site. This error can occur if the specified site is not hosted on the local system. SharePoint solutions work only with locally-installed versions of SharePoint Foundation or SharePoint Server. Remote development is supported only for apps for SharePoint 2013.

If you search around the internet you will find many people suggesting to change your host file from 127.0.0.1 to the actual IP.

Solution

However the solution, at least on a Contoso environment, is to type in the actual IP address in the host file.
(the IP 192.168.150.1 is the special IP for Contoso, I have 2 network adapters)

And do not forget to clear/flush the DNS cache.
Now the solution can be created and validates.

Project online sync to Outlook

Project online sync to Outlook Ever since the "Sync to Outlook" button have been disabled I have looked for other ways to do this. The other day I found a way for a project manager to do this - it requires a little bit of configuration though. In the following we will create a calendar for one project and have the team members connect to that project. SharePoint calendar On your project site create a new calendar. Give it the same name as your project. Flow -> As a project manager go to Flow and create a new blank flow: https://emea.flow.microsoft.com/  Insert a new trigger of the type "When a new task is created". Type in your PWA URL.
