Azure VM: cannot access ping port 80

I am new to the Azure platform, so hopefully this is a simple question:

I am currently setting up a Sharepoint web farm through Azure. My current architecture looks like this:

  • WIN2008 virtual machine working as my domain controller. I have a domain setup and work AD
  • WIN2008 VM SQL2012 serving as my db server
  • Virtual service WIN2008, working as my sharepoint web server.

All virtual machines belong to a domain.

I have a sharepoint and runs on a sharepoint web server, and I can access sharepoint sites using // localhost. However, I cannot access the sites from an external computer (port 80). I cannot ping with an IP address or * .cloudapp.net address. I have already ensured that the firewall ports for 80 are open to all profiles. I also set the endpoint for port 80 on the sharepoint virtual machine.

Any thoughts? I appreciate your help in advance.

To clarify the above endpoint link:

The Azure portal has a configuration page that you need to check to make sure that the appropriate ports are open. AS WELL AS are those listed on the endpoints page for your Windows virtual machine. I assume the same applies to other hosted OS VMs, such as Linux, etc.

Look on the status page of your VM

When I came across the Endpoints tab for the virtual machine in question on the Azure portal, I noticed that there are RDP and PowerShell ports, but not HTTP. Adding that I found that I could hit my IIS server in a virtual machine. In a nutshell, it looks like two firewalls, one on your server and one on the Azure portal.

It sounds like you have an answer, but note that you need to set up endpoints for everything you want to hit.
