    - How to add 2nd WSS3 server to a farm Hello, I am having problems adding a 2nd FrontEnd Sharepoint server to my web farm. The problm is the services do not start on the 2nd frontend web server. They get stuck in a "starting" state. They never stop and never enter to the running state. Here is my current configuration. server 1 - AD Enabled FrontEnd SharePoint Server configured as the 1st member of the farm running in AD account creation mode. server 2 - SQL Server 2005 - added to the domain as a member server. server 3 - (this is the server I am trying to add) - 2nd FrontEnd SharePoint Server, configured as a Member Server of the domain. I have followed the instructions from Microsoft to add a 2nd FrontEnd SharePoint Server, but they are pretty general. My thought is the instructions may not be complete and I may be missing something. One thing the instructions do not mention is how the 2nd server should be configured before even starting to install SharePoint. For example, being I am running in AD Account creation mode, should the 2nd frontend server be AD enabled maybe as a child AD domain or should it be added to the domain as a member server? I have my new server (the one I am trying to add) configured as a member server of the domain at this time.. I am hoping someone reading this already has a multi server farm up and running and can fill in the blanks for me. I would appreciate any help. Thank You, Edward York -- Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56451

    - a reference to a list item into a folder Hi all, I need to have a reference to a list item into a list folder. This is the scenario: I create a list item "item1" into a folder "folder1". Now I create "folder2", and I just want to put a reference to "item1" into the new folder. In this way, if I change the content of "item1", I can see changes from "folder2". And also, iterating through "folder2" items, I can retrieve "item1". Is it possible? Thanks Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56448

    - Displayinjg an entire field from infopath form Hello, We have a very simple infopath form used for data entry, which works fine. One of the fields (report) is limited to 2400 characters. We'd like to be able to create a view that shows the enteir contents of the report field rather than the first n characters. Even if we give more room to each row, the size of the field does not change. Any ideas? Thanks, Gina Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56440

    - missing authentication provider I am missing an Authentication Provider for my WSS3 Web application, and getting a 403 error when I try to connect. The website was built on another machine, upgraded to WSS3 from WSS2. I used the Backup utility in Central Administration to back up the Sharepoint site. When restoring, I am told that the operation was successful, but I cannot access the website. That is when I found the Authentication Provider error. This does not exist for other websites (provider is Windows (Default)). I checked in IIS, on the ASPNET tab, an the provider is set to Windows as well. Any ideas?

    - SharePoint Services 3.0 unable to display content We were running SharePoint Services 2.0 on Windows Server 2000 and SQL Server 2000. Windows Server was upgraded to 2003 and SQL Server was upgraded to 2003. At this point, SharePoint Services stopped working. I found that SharePoint Services 2.0 does not run on Windows 2003 because of a file conflict. Also that SharePoint Services requires SQL Server 2000. Therefore, SQL Server was downgraded to 2000. As for SharePoint Services, this was upgraded to 3.0 after applying the .NET 3.0 upgrade. The upgrade identified that there was a previous installation and upgraded the databases accordingly. The configuration and content tables can be viewed using the login/password identified in the SharePoint Central Administration WEB Site. When connecting to the SharePoint Services site the error message provided indicates that I do not have permissions to view the page. I can not alter the permissions in the Central Administration. I also can not create a new Virtual Server to display the content from. How do I get the content back? Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56438

    - Event 1000 Windows Sharepoint Error I recently started getting the error below in my event Application log. ===================================================== Event Type: Error Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 2/9/2007 Time: 9:10:33 PM User: N/A Computer: SERVER Description: #50070: Unable to connect to the database STS_SERVER_425103895 on SERVER\SharePoint. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ===================================================== The DB number that is showing the error (STS_SERVER_425103895) does not exist in the SharePoint SQL instance and none of my SharePoint webs have that DB number configured as their content DB. All of the SharePoint webs are working normally. The error occurs every hour to the minuet. Is it possible that something is left over from a former web that had STS_SERVER_425103895 as a content DB? This is on Small Business Server 2003 SP1 that has all of the current updates except for IE7. Thanks for any suggestions Jeff Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56429

    - "File Not Found" trying to view list settings after STSADM Restore in WSS 3.0 The environment is a WSS 3.0 Single Server Farm on Server 2K3 SP1 Std. Edition. The DB is the Runtime Engine bundled with WSS. The goal of my backup and restore was to create a new top level site collection on my server and to recreate the existing top level site collection underneath. To achieve this I did the following: Backup the existing Site collection with STSADM.exe : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions \12\BIN>stsadm -o backup -url http://myserver -filename main.bak - overwrite In Sharepoint Central Administration Delete the site collection '/' Create new site collection '/' Create new site collection '/sites/srveng' Restore the site to the new location with STSADM.exe: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions \12\BIN>stsadm -o restore -url http://myserver/sites/srveng -filename main.bak -overwrite At first glance, everything worked just fine. However, after some poking around, I discovered that I could not get to the "Settings" page for any list or Document Library on the restored site. If I open the List, for example: http://myserver/sites/srveng/Lists/ Announcements/AllItems.aspx Then go to the Settings Menu and click "List Settings", I see the following: Go back to site Error File Not Found. Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services. I also see the same error if I click "View all site content" on the Quick Launch bar. These functions worked before the site move.

    - Consolidate Blogs Playing around with STS ver 3, and like the new blog feature. Is there a way to display consolidated the multiple blogs that may be on my site into on view. I was thinking displaying the last 10 blog entries from any one of the 10 blogs that will be listed. At first I thought there would be a web part but could not find a obvious one. Then I tried to add the Blog's RSS feed to the default page. Any suggestions? I like the RSS way, because in theory I could add external RSS feeds also.

    - Dataview webpart DVWP to find Username of current user I would like to use the frontpage dataview web part on a WSS page to pick up the username (not the domain\username) bit of the current user and query the Sql profile database to pull up extra infomation (name, Date of birth etc) and show that in the Dataview webpart. I have created the database connection and the queryand I have created the filter 'Username equals [Current user]' .Username is a field name that contain username (without the domain name attached) in the database. The dataview webpart returns no records found even though the users have information in the database. Change the filter to a known username, the DVWP returns the user's record ok It does not seem to pick up and compare the logged on user's username and that in the database well. Any help.

    - Site Search Pro Gold 2.0 We have come across a typical problem with Site Search Pro Gold 2.0 - Any text/word/searchkey having apostrophe mark are not getting indexed by the system as the search result is not displaying any of them. For example: If we have a paragraph in a page A as "I have a big brother named Apurba. Apurba's attitude towards work is very nice. Apurba is also fond of Music." and another page B having a paragraph as "Apurba's achievements are numerous and scores are high." Now when we search for Apurba, only page A is appearing in the search result with the following highlighted. "I have a big brother named Apurba. Apurba's attitude towards work is very nice. Apurba is also fond of Music." but the word Apurba's is NOT at all considered and also PAGE B is not listed in the search result. Further, if we search for Apurba's, no search result is displayed. Please note in both the cases, we have NOT done exact word search. We feel there is a problem with the engine doing the indexing of the pages. If anybody has solution using Site Search Pro Gold 2.0 itself, please let us know. It is quite URGENT. Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56405

    - Folder Name Length for Explorer View Hi, This is my update from my previous post for upload file not being shown in explorer view and I have a couple of questions for the below: I have found that I need to close the IE browser, open a new browser and access the document library list with Explorer View, it will then show my new uploaded file. 1.So is there any way not to reopen the browser in order to see get both views updated? Is there any cache for the Explorer View? And may I know is there any folder name length limit in the SharePoint Document Library? Because I noticed that when I have a folder name with a length of around 50 characters, it gives me a page cannot be display when I change the view to Explorer View...However, I can navigate to this folder from its' top folder in Explorer View...So from my inverstigation, I found out that if the folder name length is more than 40, I cannot change the view to Explorer View from the All Documents view of the current folder(the one with long name).. But when I navigate to the folder with the name length of 50, from the top folder in Explorer View, it does not gives me the page cannot be displayed error page..It just works fine through this channel. 2. So is there any restriction on the folder naming length for changing to Explorer View from All Documents View? Thanks. Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56397

    - Upload File not shown Explorer View Hi, I am using WSS v3 and when I was trying to upload a .dwg file to my document library list from the normal single file upload form ie. All Documents View, I noticed that when i changed the view to Explorer View, the uploaded .dwg file is not being shown..but it does shown in the All Documents View. I actually did some testings..Here is it: 1. Create a new document library 2. Upload a .dwg file from normal single file upload form 3. Change the view to Explorer View, the uploaded .dwg file being shown. 4. Upload any file again to the document library using single file upload form, change the view to Explorer View, it only shown the first .dwg file uploaded in steps 2. All subsequent uploaded files doesn't shown in Explorer View. Is this a bug in the Explorer View when uploading a .dwg file to the document list? Thanks.

    - Site Actions Problem I recently used smigrate to move some content as a template over to a new server etc etc. Running WSS 3.0. I have created a site eg /site and if I go to Site Actions--->Create I get the usual list of Libraries, Communications, Tracking, Custom Lists and Web Pages. However, if i goto /site/migratedweb, and then to Site Actions--- >Create, I only get Tracking and Custom Lists where tracking only contains Agenda. (This web is a team meeting one). All the others such as the ability to create a document library or discussion board are missing. If I create a new web (team meeting one) under /site/newweb and then go to Site Actions--->Create, I get all of this. Therefore it seems the migration process missed the templates or ignored the default ones. Any ideas appreciated! Chris Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56389

    - SharePoint Designer/Frontpage/WSS question I was never a big user of Frontpage but Designer plays a huge role in MOSS/WSS 3. So, I have the following question: If you use SPD to create a folder arbitrarily in the structure of a WSS site and then start stuffing files, e.g. images, aspx pages, etc., how are they treated by WSS? Are the files content? Is everything handled by the safe mode parser? Since the files have to be in the contentdb, I expect they're backed up with the site. Are they accessible through the object model? Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56382

    - Windows authentication after session expiry Hi, I am using WSS 3.0 for my site development. For this, i want that at the time of initial login it sohuld not ask for Windows Authentication (Should use looged in user's credentials). Now, i have set up a timeout of 1minute for my site. If 1minue of inactivity is there then i want to show the Login Screen again (Windows Authentication) and then redirect to the same page where user was originally working e.g. if user is at Mypage.aspx and login session expires, then on session_start, it should ask for Login Credentials and then go to Mypage.aspx again. I have been able tosetup the timeout period and on Session_Start, i am trying to redirect it to Authenticate.aspx. Now the problem is that, i have not been able to distinguish between the initial login and login after session expiry. Also when i use authenticate.aspx, it tries to authenticate user for 3times i.e. asks the credentials for 3times. Please help me in solving this problem. Here is the code that i am using for this: void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host + HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "Session is Starting...<br>"); // Redirect here to Authenticate.aspx which is used by default by IIS. Session.Timeout = 1; } void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write("Session is Ending...<br>"); Response.End(); } Regards, Shreshth Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56375

    - Daylight saving modificatio and testing Hi We are trying to patch the new daylight saving definition to our us sharepoint server. We go for the method by modifying the xml file. Due to insufficient experience dealing with timezone problems, we are required to create some test case to make sure the new definition work. Can anyone help to provide some idea how should I test if the patch work? I try to create some calendar entry before and after the patch during the DST period, but cannot reproduce any case that can prove the patch work. thanks in advance!

    - Receive "Cannot connect to the configuration database" when attempting to install a new web part I've create a new web part. I'm trying to install this web part on a Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 instance. In my development environment, Sharepoint is set up on a single server with SQL Server 2000 on the same box. I can install the web part just fine there. On the production instance, Sharepoint is set up different. SQL Server 2000 is on a separate box. Using the same steps (as I do on the development instance), I get a "cannot connect to the configuration database" error message. As far as I know, everything else on the production Sharepoint instance is working just fine. I've seen the troubleshooting steps at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/ 823287/en-us. On the web server, the app pool identity is set to "NETWORK SERVICE". On the SQL Server 2000 instance, the "NETWORK SERVICE" account is not a member of any of the roles listed in the knowledge base article. If I add the SQL Server 2000 instance's 'NETWORK SERVICE" account to the proper roles, would that fix my problem? Do I need to create another account that is the same for both servers? I'm not sure why I get this error on the production server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56359

    - WSS - Error using stsadm "-o deletesite", (corrupted site?) I am having an issue with a site collection on my sharepoint server. I used stsadm.exe with the -o createsite parameter to create a blank corporate IT test site on our intranet (http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2). Before the command was finished running however, the command window was closed by accident. Now when I go to enumsites for http://intranet, I get the following entry among the others: <Site Url="http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2" Error="There is no Web named "/sites/corporateIT2"."> If I try to run stsadm.exe -o deletesite or -o backup with the CorprorateIT2 url, I get: "The system cannot find the path specified" If I try to run: stsadm.exe -o deletepath with the CorporateIT2 url, I get: "The managed path you specified does not exist" If I try to run: stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2 -filename -overwrite from a backup I have of the production corporate IT site I get: "The Web site address "http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2" is already in use" If I try to access the site through a browser, I get: 400 error, "Bad Request" At this point, I'm just trying to clean up/delete the http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2 path/site that I've created. It's not hurting much right now as the intranet is still a development platform, and no one needs the corporateIT2 url, but I want to get a better picture of what's going on and how to fix it moving forward. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris Tag: WSS 3 upgrade - site and users are gone Tag: 56356

    - Issue upgrading Sharepoint 2003 sp2 to MOSS 2007 trial version I downloaded the trial version of MOSS 2007 until my CD and license comes in. I have a test environment with 1 server which is the front end webserver, the 2nd server is the job server and indexer and the 3rd server is running SQL 200 sp4. In my actual environment its a 3 server farm as opposed to the 2 server farm I have in my test environment. I ran all windows updates on all 3 boxes including grabbing the DST update for Sharepoint 2003. I ran the prescan.exe and cleared all errors. I installed .NET 3.0 on both the front end and job/indexer. I also enabled .NET 2.0 in IIS.I upgraded the frontend first without running the config wizard. I then upgraded the job/index server second and stopped at running the config wizard. Ran the config wizard on frontend and it bombed on step 2 with the following error: "Failed to initiate the upgrade process" Logfile has the following error: 02/07/2007 13:44:45 8 ERR Task upgradebootstrap has failed with an unknown exception 02/07/2007 13:44:45 8 ERR Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException: Action 12.0.1.0 of Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Upgrade.SearchServiceInstanceSequence failed. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Next, he had me run it on the front- end again and it bombed with the same error. I sent him all of my logs and have yet to hear from him. I have been unable to find a solution to this error message either by my own accord or through MS. Hopefully, someone out here has had this issue before and can tell me how to resolve it.

    - IE Locks when trying to access Sharepoint I posted this on the portal server group and thought I'd try over here too. I have several members on my team with an issue when trying to access our sharepoint site. IE will show one bar on the progress bar, but lock up and I have to end program to get out. It doesn't even get to the login popup. They can get to other internal and external websites. They can login in to the sharepoint site from other PCs. Here's what I've tried: 1. Delete all temp files 2. I can ping the server from a command prompt 3. I can get the the sharepoint site through firefox (although we have no functionality) 4. I removed all the webparts on the opening page - still nothing 5. I added the website to their trusted sites. 6. I've matched all the security settings to my PC. Nothing changed on their machines to cause this. I even get it on my machine from time to time, but once I end program and restart IE, I can get in. Any suggestions?

    - How to enable auditing on WSS v3 Hello. Can anyone point me in the direction for instructions on how you enable and view auditing in WSS v3? I am aware you it's not a GUI option in WSS v3 The admin section of the MS technet library is still down as "TBD", so no help there. I've tried Mike Walsh's excellent WSS FAQ, however it states that it must be performed by the object model. "Note: In WSS v3 Audit Logging needs to be turned on (and accessed) via the Object Model (OM)" The following link, seems to relate to MOSS 2007 and not WSS v3 http://markharrison.co.uk/blog/archive%5C2006_07_01_archive.htm Any pointers will be great (I'm guessing you need to use SP designer 2007?)

    - Smigrate and Original Site I have a WSS 2.0 sp2 (6.0.28117) server. It's a single server with the config and content DBs on another server running SQL 2000 sp4. We're looking at upgrading to WSS 3.0 and to do so wanted to setup a test environment. Smart aye? :) So I created a backup using the smigrate tool. Setup a new server, installed WSS 2.0 and patched it to the same version. Re-created all the sites without templates. Setup all the databases like on the original server but pointing at a different SQL server (2005 in this instance). I copied the smigrate backup files over to the new server and ran the tool to restore to the new web. as in http://site2 instead of http://site1 It all seemed to work just fine except that after running the tool, my ORIGINAL sharepoint site gives a 404 Bad Request error. For the life of me, I see no reason why the 2 would be connected but that is the only change done to that server recently. Help would be appreciated.

I have a test site running with Server 2003, SharePoint 2003 and SQL 2000
fully updated.

I installed WSS 3.0 without any problems. When it was finish with the
upgrade and I tried to login to the site I got this error: "An unexpected
error has occurred" (nothing about a webpart problem.)

I tried another page and got the same error.
I then noticed that all users were gone. I could only see the default users.
I had expected my "old" site with a new look. Now it seems I have to create
sites all over again.

Have anyone experienced something similar?

Just a suggestion and I know is sounds stupid, but it worked for me and I
don't know why. : Clear the sever logs, turn off server's local firewall;
reboot the server 3 times (yes, 3 times); review server logs for SQL
authentication errors and Active Directory errors.

Ok, I'll give a try.
