BTW if i go to a PC on this domain and type in companyweb in IE i get a list of the directory, but a web page does not display.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI'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
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
</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.

Okay we have sharepoint administratin page up. We had to select version 2.0 of ASP.net and then it opened. Now we want to get our companyweb intranet site working. I have followed a few procedures to try and get the site imported, but no luck so far. Here is what I did...
Old server SBS 2003
New Server Server 2003 R2
1 copied home directory of companyweb from old server and put into inetpub folder on new server
2 In IIS on old server right clicked on server and saved a backup to a file (MetaBase.xml)
3 In IIS on old server right clicked on companyweb site and saved config to file (companywebconfig.xml)
4 At DOS prompt of old server in in folder 60/bin i ran stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://companyweb -filename c:\webbackup.dat -overwrite
5 Moved webbackup.dat to new server
6 On new server at the DOS prompt I ran stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://companyweb -filename c:/webbackup.dat -overwrite
When I do this i get the following feedback:
The server administration programs and the extended virtual server for Windows S
harePoint Services on this Web server are not compatible. Ensure that the admin
istration program is the same version as the virtual server.
This is wher I am stuck now. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt
