A strange error occurred in one of my projects. In my SharePoint 2013 environment, I’ve a web application running on port 80. When I need another web app, I gave it port 89. After giving a CNAME , I setup AAM and IIS bindings so that users can access my web app by writing http://xxx.com.tr instead of http://sharepoint:89 . So everything worked fine except InfoPath. I have some InfoPath forms deployed on this new web app running on 89. When I tried to open any of this forms it gave me the following error.

Show error details Of course, if you click the “Show error details” button all it does is show you a correlation ID: * In my case, this turned out to be an Alternate Access Mappings problem. * I looked at the log file in the 14 hive and saw that InfoPath was complaining about an AAM issue (since I was hitting Localhost instead of the server name).  I changed my URL and that solved it.
