rver\Applications" -sspdatabaseserver <db_servername> -sspdatabasename <database_name>

thank you....the ssppassword got rid of the message:
The specified credentials are invalid.
Parameter name: acount
However the
The specified database is not empty
still exists.
I have tried two different methods.
1st I entered the database name where the database name does not exists
2nd I entered the database name which exists and is empty
??
Yes I could create SSP in central administration but I can not select web application from there (the list contains only one web app.). Therefore I thought that I would create ssp in command line where I can specify the web app.name.
If I do not enter the sspdatabaseserver and sspdatabasename I get :
The specified database is not empty.
The specified database is not empty.
In the central admin you are able to create a new web application for both mysite and SSP. You should have a link to that says "Create a New Web Application" under . In the command line leave out the parameter all together.
stsadm -o createssp -title PORTAL_SharedServices -url http://portal.domain.local
rver\Applications" -ssppassword <password>
Try that.
Yes, I`ve tried this, except Create a New Web Application in Central administration. The reason why I do not want to use this action in central administration is because the portal is allready active and used by other users.
Therefore I want to create an SSP for an existing web aplication, but in central administration I can not select the web app. from the list.
the above command in cmd returns the sam result:
The specified database is not empty.
The specified database is not empty.
Is it possible to create 1 or 2 test web apps and for the ssp and mysite?
stsadm.exe o createssp title <SSP name> -url <Web application url> -mysiteurl <MySite Web application url> -ssplogin <username> -indexserver <index server> -indexlocation <index file path> -ssppassword <password> -sspdatabaseserver <SSP database server> -sspdatabasename <SSP database name>
do you have a test server or development environment? I would try and backup and restore the current web application to another environment and see if you can create and ssp with them. It looks like there might be a problem with them in the current environment. One other suggestion would be to recreate the web application in the current environment and reconnect it to the current db and see if that is able to be joined to an SSP.

Hello, Looks like you need to specify the -ssppassword. If you are using a domain account like you are you need to have the password option filled out. Refer to this article for any clarification.

On the DB side is that an empty DB? If not I don't think you can use it to create a new ssp, however you should be able to create the new ssp and then change the content db if you need too. This article explains it nicely. Basically you can edit the SSP and find the DB settings and change it to an existing DB.
