    - Web Image file manager for SPS 2003? I would like to enable users to use a web based (image) file manager to add images to a online web editor. The images are stored in a picture library and uploads should be added here too. For now I have Tiny MCE web text editor and I need the option to add pictures from SharePoint. The same Vendor has a filemanager, thsat should be fine for the task except it does not handle web paths (that is, I cant give it a web path for the picture library)... any ideas to provide this functionality (without writing the functionality on my own that is :o)?

    - Restore Capabilities. Hi, Hoping someone can help me urgently. I've just deleted a document library on sharepoint server 2003 by mistake. Its around 213mb in size and although in theory it can be restored, it does contain alot of version history. Our sys admin guys claim that it is possible to restore the document library and the all the version if they do a full portal restore. But everyone else in the organisation loses any chnages they made to the portal in that timeframe. Is it possible to simply restore a document library itself, and all the version history that is held within it without using the above method. Surely it if possible to be a full restore; it should be possible to do a partial restore of just the deleted library in question ? Hoping someone can help me as i'm in deep trouble !!

    - Change default sharepoint page I just setup the sharepoint server. I have created new Sites and Workspaces and would like one of those sites to be my default sharepoint page. Right now when you go to \\ServerName it brings up the default sharepoint page that has nothing in it. I created a page called home at \\ServerName\Home and that is where I would like it to default when someone types in \\ServerName. I don't want to tell people to go to \\ServerName\Home, I just want them to have to remember the server name and have it go to the page I want it to. I attempted to change it in IIS with no luck.

Installed Moss2007 Installed Reporting Services Configure Reporting Services (db on another SQL server) Install the RS add-in Configure the Sharepoint side of Reporting Services At this stage everything it working. The server is at http://servername, and the reporting services site is at http://servername:8080/reportserver. Both of which work fine. Then I need to change the site to have a meaningful url, so I go to Alternate Access mappings and change the Default Public Zone Url to http://intranet.company.com and configure the dns accordingly. Go to http://intranet.company.com and the site is there and working perfectly. So, to check on RS.....Go to Site Settings, Reporting Services, Manage Shares Schedules and I get.....

If I reverse all this and go back to http://servername everything works again!?! The "Sharepoint - 80" site was running under port 80 with the default header.

    - Corrupted SPS 2003 Configuration ?? Reconfiguring RE: Corrupted SPS 2003 Configuration ?? I'm running the prescan tool against a Sharepoint Portal Services 2003 server. I get this error: Skipping virtual server: . Server state = NeedUpgrade. Most likely this virtual server is not extended with WSS v2. This KB says my Configuration is likely corrupted: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937291 and suggest I do these steps: To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Central Administration. 2. On the SharePoint Central Administration Web page, create a new configuration database. 3. For each virtual server that was extended, click Configure Virtual Server Settings, and then click Remove Windows SharePoint Services from Virtual Server. Remember to keep the existing content databases. 4. Use a blank content database to reextend the virtual server. 5. Under Manage Content Databases, remove the blank content database, and then add the existing content database. If Prescan.exe cannot upgrade a content database, you may receive the following error message when you try to upgrade to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0: Problem is step #3 does not offer a Remove button or option in SPS 2003. I've recreated the environment and created a simple site on a VM. I'd like to POC that I can recreate an sps 2003 site's configuration. Does anybody have the actual steps? Also, I'm a bit confused about some terms and concepts. As far as sps2003 is concerned. - What's the difference between an sps site a virtual server and a portal site? - What does it mean to extend a Virtual Server? - I noticed options for WSS and SPS in the Central Admin, when do you use one vs. the other? - and my original question.. if my configuration is infact corrupted or bad, and I have all my databases, how can I rebuild the configuation?

I'm not clear on steps 5 - 8 How do I restore the content database to the new server if the new server already has MOSS Database for Content? Will the two DBs coexsist? Why am I creating a new WSS 3.0 Web Application? What if one already exsist and my goal is copy an v2 site to a v3 subsite? Which Content DB am I deleting the new or the old? And why do th is before I do the add AddContentdb? Also, won't there be issues with the v2 Database and Table format not matching v2 Table layouts?

Okay, so we fixed the VM so it's not using DNS or the AD for that matter and can't see the Production Config DB while we think this through. I log in as a local Admin (no choice) and run the centralized admin on the VM.. as expected.. I see this error: Unable to connect to the configuration database. Ensure that the database server is online and that the configuration database exists. If the configuration database administration account password recently changed or expired, see the Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Administrator's Guide for instructions on how to update the password. If the configuration database or database server is permanently unavailable, click Disconnect from configuration database I want to be careful and not hose the VM environment.. but I am wondering, what steps can I take to point to the local db for configuration? And will I be able to do this with a local user and no AD? Right now, I have an option to Disconnect from configuration database (which is the production DB) .. eventhough clearly I'm not connected to it. Thanks for any help or information.

    - Cannot import Excel spreadsheet as a list in Sharepoint 2003 Hello, I am trying to move a custom list in SharePoint 2003 from one portal site to another, utilizing the 'Export/Import Spreadsheet' feature. I have no problems exporting the list to Excel and saving it. When I import it, however, it never gives me the choice of selecting the range to import. Clicking the import button in SharePoint, the application goes to the Site Settings page. When I check my list area, the imported list does not show. I am using Internet Explorer 7 and Excel 2003. I have tried it on a machine with Internet Explorer 7 and Excel 2007 and it works just fine. I have also tried another machine that has Internet Explorer 7 and Excel 2003 and it worked fine there too. Has anybody come across this issue? All suggestions/solutions are greatly appreciated. TIA.

    - Move WSS 3.0 site to MOSS 2007 We have one server which hosts a WSS 3.0 site that is used only by our department. We also have one server with MOSS 2007 which hosts one site that is used by several departments along with our own. I want to move the WSS site to the other server and keep it completely separate. My research has given me a couple of general ideas about how to do this. Could anyone point me to a document with sufficient detail to step me through this process?

    - unexpected auto redirect target Hey I just extended my web app for public internet access. Therefore i also set up the AAM. But there is something i do not understand. Lets say i am on the following page: http://v-server-106:1330/en-us/tech/pages/default.aspx I click on a link on the page that links to: http://v-server-106:1330/en-us/events I expect sharepoint to redirect me automatically to http://v-server-106:1330/en-us/events/pages/default.aspx but it redirects me to http://www.company.com/en-us/events/pages/default.aspx My AAM has the www.company.com as Public URL for the Custom zone. http://v-server-106:1330 is an internal url in the Custom zone. I know that when i extended the webapplication for public internet access i entered www.company.com in the "load balancer" field at the bottom of the webform. Maybe the source of the problem relies in this. Any idea why sharepoint uses the public url (www.company.com) to redirect to instead of using the hostname from the request (v- server-106:1330)? Where is the "load balancer" field value written to? Where can i change it? Tag: got error "Cannot connect to configuration database" after accidently Tag: 99876

Check that the IIS web sites is started.

Try to run an IISReset.
