Re: Need help restoring a SharePoint config database corruption

You cannot run SharePoint without having extended a Virtual Server.
Extending the virtual server is what tells SharePoint to render it. If you
don't extend any Virtual Servers, you don't have any SharePoint. On the
page in Central Admin where you extend servers servers that are already
extended aren't shown by default. That would make it look like there were
none extended.
If the content database is still intact, all your data is still there. Back
it up now. If worse comes to worse you can reinstall WSS and add your old
content database to the installation. There is NO NEED to make any changes
in the config database. WSS does this all out of the box with the UI.

I had a SharePoint site with no extended or virtual server running I
believe.
Had some one go in and extend the site and create a virtual server. That
blew
away my site. The content database is still intact and I was not backing
up
any of the databases (very bad).
Is their any way I can manually configure the database to show the site
again?
I tried to make a new site and then point it to the old content database,
and change the reference site_ID in the config database. I don't know were
I
would change the id in all the location or if there is another config file
or
database anywhere. It didn't work.
If I can't get the site back up and running, how can I extract the data
out
of the database?
