WSS V3

xml

Monday, January 17, 2011 #

In my previous post after succesfully finshed installing the WSS v3 SP2 and now tried to restore my site to my surprise i came across another error :)

  Another site already exists at http://mysite. Delete this site before attempting to create a new site with the same URL, l
choose a new URL, or create a new inclusion at the path you originally specified 

I had a look at the Sharepoint Central Admin and i could see the site but the delete button was greyed out 
So i taught it must be an orphan site so i tried using the
staadm - o databaserepair  "YOURSITE" - databasename "YouDB"
also used the -deletecorruption option but still returned 0

But it returned 0 which meand there are no orphaned sites arg.!!!!!!!
 
So my last taught was the database isn't refreshing so i simple detached and re-attach the WSS_Content DB
and BINGO tried to restore and it worked.
Hope that helps
 
 


I was trying to restore my WSS v3 dev server today after having some issues with IIS (see previous post)

After installing the the Wss v3 SP2 and the wizard got to the end i got an error that the timer service wasn't started and it was unsuccesful.

But truly i forgot to restart the Timer ser vice before clicking on the SP2 install.

But then i said i would give it a try and try to restore my site from backup but unfortunately NO GO and got the error:

An error has occurred on the server.http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=96177

I copied the link and i went to the link and and this is what the page title reads:

Deploy software updates for SharePoint Foundation 2010 hm... MS you got both the content and the link wrong
 

So it seems my SP2 install didn't  finish so to finish it you would have to run the :
 

stsadm inplace upgrade 
 
after running that a prompt popped up on the screen and the installation finished
