Hi,
Firstly check if the System Account in use has not been modified as if its password has not been reset.
Please check if the account you are using has appropriate rights on the SQL box of not.
To add a new content database to an existing Web application, try creating directly on the SQL box and use stsadm -o addcontentdb command to attach it to existing Site Collection. Further try creating a Web application via command prompt - stsadm -o extendvs .
hope this helps.

Hi,
have you reviewed the ULS logs? In there you would find a detailed error message which would help us to provide you a working answer instead of guessing.
When you create your new web application, do you create a new app pool or do you use an existing one? When creating a new app pool - which account do you use?
Do you use Windows or SQL authentication for the content database?
Thanks.

Dear RainerJ, thanks for the solution, it's working for me.
thanks a lot.
Regards,
thanks a lot.
Regards,
to be able to help you we would need the exact error message.
Please verify / check both:
- Windows Event Log
- SharePoint ULS Log (if not configured then the default path is
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Logs
What I can think of might be, that the account which you have configured in the content database section of creating the web app, has not the propper permissions in SQL server.
Thanks and HTH
