When you are installing SharePoint Portal Server, the installation may not work, and one of the following sets of error messages may be logged in the Eventlog.txt file:
- SharePoint Portal Server: ***ERRORLOG EVENT*** : CVAIComponent, Error 0x80004005: VAIFy failed

CAUSE
This issue can occur if a host header name is specified for each entry in the default Web site.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
- Open the properties of the default Web site.
- Click the Web Site tab, and then make sure that the IP Address box contains (All Unassigned).
- Click Advanced.
- In the Multiple identities for this Web Site box, make sure that an entry exists with IP Address set to (All Unassigned), TCP Port set to 80, and Host Header Name blank.
- If this is not the case, either remove the Host Header Name entry for an (All Unassigned) IP Address entry, or create a new entry with IP Address set to (All Unassigned), TCP Port set to 80, and Host Header Name left blank.
