Hi, have you tried configuring AAM? which part gives you the error?

You will want to setup Alternate Access Mappings for the site (in Central Admin > Operations). From here you can add an additional hostheader, then update the site in IIS with the new hostheader.

Don't forget to IISRESET ... If you don't want that port and it's a new web application you can also just delete that site, create a new one and then enter the host header in the creation page... Just an idea...
