Re: Cannot create sites from portal after applying patch http://su

A pity that we didn't know that before. This is after all a SharePoint newsgroup so it's reasonable for us to assume you are using at least some SharePoint product.

I am hoping that the fix is to W2k3 and not SharePoint Portal Server 2003, as I don't have it. I am having the problem with students saving frontpage files to their H drive.

Ok, I really thought that would work.
I just read that Microsoft has acknowledged that the problem also appears with SP1 and 933854, they updated their support page yesterday.

Our customers experience the exact problem. With SP1 and patch 933854, no SP2 involved. No news yet? Anybody? I mean, we must be able do solve this without uninstalling the security update right??

"Stephen Bloomer" wrote:

The problem is a security on from the server side. If a student connects a USB drive and saves the web site to that, it works fine, or if a domain admin logs on it also works fine. It is something to do with user right at the server.

We are using Office 2002 with a couple of 2003 products. It has been the same configuration for several years, but the problem has just started.

When I had a similar problem it was because on my Client I had Office 2007 level products as well as the Office 2003 level product FrontPage 2003.

Even after the Office 2007 level product was removed, the problem still existed.

Have you checked this aspect of those 200 machines ?

(Also see if they have had Acrobat Reader installed since a very early version and updated ever since. That seems to cause oddities too compared with newer machines with Acrobat Reader starting at 5.0)

Do we know if this is SP2 or the patch 933854 that caused the issue? I have 200 computers that cannot create a web page in Frontpage and we don't know why?

I have the exact same problem. But I do not have Windows 2003 SP2, I only
have SP1 installed. Any idea why I am getting this? I do not have SharePoint
SP2 also, should I install that?

Thanks for the help.

Hello,
We recently applied patchhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/933854to
our SPS 2003 testing farm. During testing, we discovered that team
sites could not be created from the Portal:
http://portalname/_layouts/1033/scsignup.aspx
Repro Steps: 1. Go tohttp://portalname/SiteDirectory/default.aspx
2. Click on Create Site from the Actions Menu 3. Fill in New Site
info and hit Create 4. You are now at the Add Link to Site window.>From
here if you fill out relevant info and hit OK, it just HANGS
there.
Behavior: You are able to complete the info
athttp://portalname/_layouts/1033/scsignup.aspx,
and proceed to the "Add Link to Site"
window,http://systemtest/SiteDirectory/Lists/Sites/NewForm.aspx.
However,
from this window when you hit OK, it just hangs there with no error
returned or anything. Just hang-age. Additionally, in checking the
IIS log there is no log entry detailing the failed action.
HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS BEHAVIOR OR READ ANYTHING ON IT?
I checked the Microsoft site on the patch and there still hasn't been
any updates or mention of SPS 2003 issues.
Was wondering if anyone else has seen this yet. Thanks for any insight.
A similar issue is reported with Windows Server 2003 SP2. Do a search
on that - it's quite a recent issue. Maybe it's related.

Ashok,
Any word on a fix or did you figure out how to fix. We have the exact
same problem Windows 2003 SP1 SharePoint SP1. I think more people
haven't notice due to sites not needing to be created that often.
