I have a working MOSS2007 web application on a particular server, using a database on a second server in the same domain. This uses the default SSL port 443.<br />
<br />
I've created a new web application using the same database server and same authentication settings as the above using the port 9443, and applied the SSL certificate. When I load this URL I get the error &quot;Cannot connect to the configuration database&quot;.<br />
<br />
What am I missing?
