Re: Unable to get global configuration data.

um...

(that means I'm not sure)

steps to take to check this? The server and IIS and "stuff" was set up by
someone else and now I'm taking it over and I'm afraid I'm underqualified.

First off man you have to have a dns entry so that your network knows how to
resolve whatever you are pointing in there, do you have that in place?

Ok... I went into IIS, Web Sites, Sharepoint Central Administration and right
clicked and selected properties. It did say All Unassigned with a port. I
clicked on Advanced and clicked Add. I kept it as All Unassigned, used the
same port as the other one, and called it "intranet". I reset IIS. This did
not work. I have a feeling I'm not really doing what I'm supposed to. :)

ok, well you are going to need to set the host headers then, it doesnt know
how to resolve the default website. Go into IIS, right click on the virtual
server, select advaned on the first page that comes up (it should be next to
your IP assignment, which should be set to all unassigned unless you are
binding an IP and have SP2), there you can enter the name you want your site
to resolve too :)

I am able to access the site now since I changed teh Identity on the App Pool
to my account. However, I am only able to access the site if I am physically
on the web server (http://localhost/intranet). I cannot access it from my
personal computer (http://url/intranet). It asks me to log in (network login
pop up) and will not accept my login.

ok... the only thing in this article
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823287)
i think it could be is

The account that is used by application pool does not have the required
permissions to the SQL Server database.

How do i set db access on teh app pool?

Ok... I made Network Service a dbo on the db. Now I get this error:

Unable to connect to database. Check database connection information and
make sure the database server is running. For tips on troubleshooting
this
error, search for article 823287 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at
http://support.microsoft.com.


The database is running and it is on the same machine as WSS is
installed.
I am in the process of trying to figure this one out, but if anyone can
save
me some time, I'm all ears. :)
