Re: WSS 2.0 to 3.0 upgrade



Hi David,

Well I ran the inplace upgrade and it didn't report any errors. But now when
I try to open up the site I get an error message that says: "

An error occurred during the processing of
/sca/OJDTC_Meet/default.aspx. The server tag is not well formed.

"

I have no idea what this means or how to proceed.

Thanks,

--GREG--

Hi Greg,

I've had similar frustrations. I setup a test server with my WSS2 app,
about
2.5GB in size, and dealt with the very annoying migration process.
Ultimately, I got it down to a few easy steps, with the longest being the
time it took for the database to attach. I have since upgraded 3 other
sites
for customers and have a few more in the line up.

Keep me posted, I'll see if I can help.
Thanks,
David

is a
complete kludge.

Hi All,

I think I am getting somewhere.....

I ran this command to attach my 2.0 contentDB to WSS 3.0:

STSADM -o addcontentdb -url http://MYSERVER -databaseserver
MYDATABASESERVER -databasename MYDATABASENAME

It took almost 15 minutes but completed successfully. I checked the
upgrade.log file and it only registered three errors, which isn't bad
considering the size of my database.

HOWEVER.....

When I go to Central Administration > Application Management > Content
Databases I am not seeing my database attached. If I try to attach
it
here, I get an error saying to use the STSADM command!

So I am running in a circle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

--GREG--
