Hi,
I have had to reinstall SharePoint 3.0, complete with
deinstalling/reinstalling .Net 3.0, as per described in this newgroup
(thanks...). For those interested, this happened after I had mistakenly
installed Search Server Express, which uses WSS 3.0 and actually broke it. I
know that most of you know that, but I did not: don't ever install Search
Server on SBS ! It uses the 80 port by default and breaks WSS 3.0.
Anyway, I now have what (I believe?) is a new clean side-by-side install of
WSS 3.0, as described in the specific document explaining how to install WSS
3.0 on SBS -- just as I had done the first time.
Problem: although I never got any error during install of either .Net 3.0 or
WSS 3.0, including the wizard of the latter, I can't seem to have web sites
to function. I got the WSS 3.0 Central Administration Site to function
alright -- which tells that this should not be too serious a problem, since
it itself uses WSS 3.0. I am then able to follow the instructions of the
above document on how to create web sites, which goes through without errors.
Only, at the end of the process, instead of getting the "Top Level site
successfully created" page, I get a page with no link to the new web site and
a message indicating that I should run the "iisreset /noforce" command. When
trying to connect to the new site, I get a http 404 error. I have checked IIS
and everything seems to be correct: the settings for the Central
administation and the new site are the same (except for the port number of
course) and yet the latter does not work. I tried to run the "iisreset
/noforce" command, had to restart web site in ISS -- all to no avail.
So I guess that some traces of the first install are still there somewhere
and might be causing this.
Any ideas on how to solve this much appreciated.
Sorry for the long post, thanks,
Charles
