I've just started configuring my new server(Server 2003 R2) and wanted to get Sharepoint up and running so i can install my companyweb intranet site from my old SBS server. However, when I try and open the SharePoint Administration page, it gives me a username and password to view the page. When I put in Administrator and password it keeps kicking back and placing celtics.vardata.loca/Admin
istrator in username. When I put the password in again it still doesn't work. Finally a page opens that has the following:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines, please set "mode" to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="mycustomp
age.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
I guess my first step is to figure out why the administration page won't open. Then I guess I can start asking questions on how to move my companyweb intranet site over to my new server.
Thanks for your help.
