Is there a way to upgrade Sharepoint Services to Sharepoint Portal Server?
There is an option to install SPS and connect these two just using links.
However, I do not want to have two databases. I want just one place to keep
the data.
I have tried:
- restoring WSS database to SPS _SITE database
- smigrate (WSS > SPS)
- copying the WSS content to SPS using WebDAV

None of these method worked.

Any help, please?

Regards.
