I've been working at this for several days but am not making any progress.
I've got no experience with WSS, IIS or SQL Svr 2005. WSS3 on 2K3 x64
requires the full SQL Svr to be installed.

I've installed SQL Svr 2005 Std x64 with default settings opting to install
only the Server package - all remaining options were unchecked. I've applied
no additional changes to the Surface Area Configuration. There were no errors
during the install.

I installed WSS3 using the walkthrough at the Sharepoint Forum. No errors
were reported. On completion of the wizard the Central Administration site
did not open - I received the HTTP Error 404 text.

I pressed ahead and added the URL to the Trusted Sites on the server,
checked the URL from a network PC using Firefox, and also manually added
/default.aspx. No joy. I was asked for a Username and Password in Firefox
however the next page was HTTP Error 404.

IIS reports SharePoint Central Administration v3 as Running under the Web
Sites node with the default port 10806. All site files and folders appear to
be fine. The Web Service Extensions node has ASP.NET v2.0.50727 Allowed and
Windows SharePoint Services V3 was added during installation and is Allowed.

I understand SQL Svr installs several services disabled by default, could
that be the issue? I see several errors in the Event Log which I'll review
tomorrow (it's 2am!). Is there anything obvious so far?

Check that the Windows Firewall Service is stopped and set to disable.

This is something that I saw first with R2 and 2003 with SP2 until then
this "feature" wasn't included.

It continues to catch me out almost every time I install WSS 3.0 or MOSS
2007 on a VM.

Hi Mike,

It seems 2K3 R2 x64 is feature rich.

The Windows firewall is Off. I scrolled through the Services MSC and stopped
the Windows Firewall / ICS Service which was Started - no apparent system
change was noted. I don't believe I require ICS for normal client / server
operation?

Now, several snippets from the Event Logs after the server reboot earlier
this morning. A string of these two events are in the log. I consequently ran
the ASP.NET 32 bit install (cscript
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET
W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1 and
%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i) and
they stopped. I consequently now have ASP.NET v2.0.50727 (32 bit) Allowed in
the IIS Web Service Extensions.

Why dont you install 64 bit versions of WSS and .net framework? You are
forcing your IIS to work oin 32 bits mode.

Hi Jordi,

Thank you for replying. I did install WSS3 x64 and also ASP.NET x64 yet the
problems persisted. I reinstalled ASP.NET 32bit to try and resolve the
problem. I could not resolve the issues I was having and there is little
information I could find to explain the x64 symptoms I was getting.

After several days of working on this problem, together with other unrelated
issues I've had with 64 bit applications, I am currently rebuilding the
server using 32 bit.

The network is small, 5 users, and I'm about quarter way through. I hope to
be up and running with WSS tomorrow but it will be a late night, again :)

Regards,
Roman

I'm following up on this post simply for closure. The migration to 2003 R2 32
bit was completely successful. WSS3 installed and ran successfully
immediately after installation. I am still unable to define what caused the
issues noted above however the effort was definately worth while gaining the
functionality of SharePoint on the network and also now being able to take
advantage of the various MS tools and utilities that are unavailable for x64.
