Re: Alerts not able to be set

We're running both WSS V2 and portal 2003 on the >same box.

Semantics I know but that is impossible. You can't *install* both WSSv2 and
SPS 2003 on the same box.

What you can do is install ONLY SPS 2003 and then that has two "layers" a
SPS 2003 layer and a WSS layer. You are *running* SPS 2003 only.

So the answer to Todd's question is SPS 2003 not WSS and the newsgroup is
microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver because that's where the users of
SPS 2003 are.

(Alternative the new admin newsgroup for all SharePoint products and
versions - microsoft.public.sharepoint.setup_and_administration where you
should say SPS 2003 in the subject line somewhere.)

Gordon, are you running Portal Server on us? Be honest, you can tell us.

The folks in this group (myself especially) only deal with WSS and have
never touched SPS in any fashion. If you're running SPS you'll have
better
luck asking in an SPS group or the general Sharepoint group. Make sure
and
let them know you're running SPS and which version. They like that.

We're running both WSS V2 and portal 2003 on the same box. The alerts
issue was occurring on both services which run within the same piece of
hardware and began after a SQL server
move. We did fix the alerts on WSS late yesterday however portal was
continuing to be a problem. We've now fixed the portal issue overnight
but I've not had a chance to speak to
the sysadmin about the fix.

I've tried to post relevant issues in both the SPS NG and WSS NG, we're
just not too sure how these two services are intertwined.

Thanks

That's odd. I guess the next thing I'd check is Event Logs on the IIS
and
SQL servers if you haven't already. If there's nothing in there you
want
start watching what's going on with a SQL trace or something. That's
really
odd.

We made a move from MSSQL server A to server B. After this move we
are
no
longer able to set alerts. After about 20 sec. we receive this
error:
An
error has occurred on the
server. We're thinking the alerts function might still be pointing
to
the old server. Any ideas where to look to fix this by pointing to
the
new server?
