Hi
We have created and modified a windows sharepoint services 3.0 site on a development server using Sharepoint Designer 2007. The modifications we have made to the site via Sharepoint Designer 2007 include:
New Master Page templates created and applied to certain pages.
Workflows created and attached to certain lists
Certain Edit, display and view forms modified using Custom List Form.
The site on the development server is working well.
We have now come to move the site to a different "production" server.
Following advice (and trial and error) we have used the stsadm utility to perform a backup of the site on the development server.
To do this we used the command stsadm -o backup -url
http:\\devserver - filename c:\devserver.bak
We then movedthe devserver.bak file to the production server and used stsadm on that server to restore over a clean "Team" website, ie a sharepoint application had already been created on the production server and had been populated with a standard sharepoint "Team site" with absolutely no modifications.
To restore the devserver.bak to the production server we used a command of form:
stsadm -o restore -url
http://prodserver -filename c:\devserver.bak -overwrite
This operation completed successfully and if we go to the sharepoint site on the production server it is now there (sort of!).
Our problem is that the formatting of the site on the production server following restore is broken and some of the standard sharepoint features such as the drop down modify/create list feature on list views is not there. The attached document shows some examples of differences between the devserver and prodserver renderings.
Can anyone advise what is missing and what additional steps we need to take to get the prodserver site to render as per the devserver site.
Thanks
