Cannot display the webpage while creating a Web Application in SharePoint

I recently ran into an issue when creating a new web application on SharePoint 2013.  Everything looks fine until the dialog box displayed “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”.  I did a little research and found what was the problem. To resolve the issue do the following:

 

  1. Open IIS manager.
  2. In the tree view, open the server name and click on Application Pools.
  3. Locate the SharePoint Central Administration v4 application pool. Right click on it and choose Advanced Settings.
  4. In the Process Model section, set the Shutdown Time Limit to a greater value. As an example, 500.
  5. Restart IIS.
