asked on WSS 3.0 - Under Construction page and "Cannot connect to the configuration database"
This sharepoint site was working until we had to demote and promote the server. (Don't ask). I had a good backup of the database but when i restore them I get the "Under Configuration" page when trying to connect to http://servername and I get "Cannot connect to the configuration database" when I try to connect to http://localhost or when I try to open Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration.
What I did to get to this point. I removed and reinstalled WSS 3.0. This re-created the Windows Internal Database and then I ran the Sharepoint Products and Tech Configuration Wizard. After that completed I restored the admin and config databases to the ones created by the wizard.
I'm sure I did something wrong but I don't know what.
Anyone care to point out what i did wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Craig

Thanks but I've already visted those sites and no, unfortunately neither one helped.
I assume the IIS reset and sql server reboot were in place.
Any errors in EV on the WSS server?
Any errors=in sql server? check Sql error it may tell you about failed login
you may need to check WSSWEBserver$ login there

More info:
The sharepoint_config database is in single user mode.
From what i have learned this is because an update/upgrade didnt apply properly. So i ran psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force from C:\Program Files\Common File\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin directory but now it gives me "An exception of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlE
Another site i found suggests finding the database id, then find who connected to it and look for spid, run master and kill 147 then set to multi_user but i have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help me with this? Anyone know what the heck that is?

OK, so I figured out what the whole spid run master and kill means. But now it tells me when i run the query to kill the database id for the Sharepoint_config database "Cannot use KILL to kill your own process."
I'm using master and it still tells me this. Any suggestions?

I did that and still no luck. I'm prob doing something wrong. I ended up restoring a backup again and now it's in multi-user mode but I'm back to the original problem. I'm going to suggest we start over from scratch with new database and manually enter he calendar data. Turns out this sharepoint site was only used for vacation calendar and one other smaller calendar.
Thanks for your help!
