I am sure that I did create a new config database, I tried to use the old one
and it spat at me saying that you are an idiot don't use that one.
Where I think that I went wrong was that I still had the old server on when
I installed SPS on the new server, so it thinks that I was creating a new
server in a farm, which is not what I want to do.
Arghhhh
:(
Thanks for the tip though.

I would say that you did not create a new Configuration Database when you.
installed your new instance of SharePoint. You are using the same
Configuration Database (SPS_Config_DB by default) that you were using
before. I can tell because it still knows about your previous Portal ID. A
new Configuration Database would be happy to have the old name and/or id
because there would be no conflict.
Hope this helps,
Ken

OK so I tried what you suggested and got this:
Monday, 12 June 2006 11:03:35 Log file opened.
11:03:35 Starting portal creation for Downer Engineering Group
11:03:35 Values used for restore: PortalUrl=http://intranet/ Virtual
Server

DownerEn1_SITE) ProfileDB=(DC-DB01, DownerEn1_PROF) ServiceDB=(DC-DB01,
DownerEn1_SERV)
11:03:35 Original values recovered: SiteCountWarning=9000
SiteCountLimit=15000 OriginalPortalUrl=http://deg-gla-spp02/
OriginalWorkspaceUrl= PortalWasFederated=FALSE PortalWasCentral=FALSE
11:03:35 Enter RecoverSite()
11:03:35 Portal creation failed System.ApplicationException: A portal site
already exists with the same ID as the one contained in the database being
used for portal recovery. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Admin.c.a() at
Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Admin.c.f()
11:03:35 Enter SearchConfigure()
Where did I go wrong?
I am going to keep trying but if you are watching today please get back to
me asap. I need to have this sorted before tomorrow.
Kind regards,

Pretty close to that simple.
Install SharePoint on the new server. Create a new configuration
database
on your existing SQL server. Then click create a portal and then choose
restore a portal. Now point it at the 3 databases. Viola! You are
done.
Depending on the you have made you may have some clean up to do. You
will
also need to redraw all of your indexes but nothing too major.
Hope this helps

Yeah sorry about that it was very late after a long long day. Thanks
for
the
quick reply.
We have one SPP server that has the data base on another server.
The sharepoint server has Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services 2.0
with
SP2
and Microsoft Office Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 installed. The
server
is
2003 std with SP1. The database server is 2003 server std and the
MS-SQL
instance is SQL server 2000.
What would be absolutely perfect is if I can just install WSS and SPS
on
another box and just point it to the same database instance, but I
don't
think that anything is going to be that simple.
:)
Thanks again in advance.

What is your current setup? Is everything on one box? do you have the
SQL
portion on its own server? Do you have multiple SPS servers? Hard to
point
you in the right direction without knowing your details. :)

All,
This is the story. We are moving our data centre to an offsite
managed
facility. As part of this process we are replacing a large number of
our
servers. One of these is our Sharepoint box. What I now need to do
is
migrate
the contents of our intranet from the old box to the new. I have
done a
quick
scan of the microsoft site and cannot find anything yet that matches
my
scenario for migration.
What I would really like to find is a cookbook on how to move from
one
box
to another without breaking anything. If anyone knows where I can
find
any
of
this stuff please reply to this post and point me in the right
direction.
Thanks in advance.
