Re: company web page issue

oh I spoke too general. I reformatted and reinstalled on C partition. Had
never got it to work on this clean install, tried 2 times to uninstall and
reinstall sharepoint. (per 829114 kb article)

***I do NOT have a folder called "companyweb" in inetpub any longer where I
DID have it originally. I also no longer have a default web page listed in
IIs whereas i did originally.*** (even after reinstalling sharepoint in
accordance with kb 829114)

It appears that anything mentioned in that kb article about frontpage
extensions isn't there. (either by a fluke, which would describe the reason i
reformatted to begin with or by my deletion in error as it is entirely
possible that I deleted those entries inadvertantly)

I have tried to reinstall Sharepoint services as described exactly in the kb
article mentioned, and still do not have a folder called "companyweb" in the
inetpub folder.
I will say that company web DID work before I reformatted the drive, though
fax services would not work (an issue i would like to forget)...once i
actually got that working, upon that reboot sharepoint and exchange died a
horrible death...and thus my decision to go ahead and reformat the C
partition. of course, everything works now it seems except
companyweb...lol...kinda like a cruel joke.

Company web folders are blank.

Make sure that the DNS of the server is pointing to itself.

When you say "companyweb never worked for me" and the install did not
indicate that it had issues, that's typically a DNS issue.

How did you install SBS? Is this a SBS sp1 slipstream install?

DNS would not make my companyweb folder not exist though would it? And
reinstalling sharepoint doesn't bring back the frontpage extensions does it?
(I have tried that twice and decided something different needed done before I
run that path again)

I'll have to use logmein to see the settings on a workstation and the
server, but i'll make sure they line up.

Thanx, and SBS does rock. :)

What's the ipconfig /all on the server and the workstation?

Well, first a short side note: this all started due to fax services shutting
down...after a full week of research, I learned it was related to a bad JAVA
VM issue ....no apparent fix seemed to be found, so since this SBS server is
only a month old, I went ahead and reformatted it (I kinda wanted to anyway
for experience as i've read several times that ppl suggest 3 full reinstalls
of SBS to get it down...i fully agree as this is now my 3rd time rebuilding
it and it's better every time)....

To my question...
Company web would not ever work for me, so i followed article 829114 on the
KB and reinstalled it...still no joy....i do not know why, but I'm pretty
sure the frontpage extensions are not in there at all (i may have removed
default and port 1 for all I know), i have no "default" page listed, only
company web and sharpoint in IIS....and of course it doesn't work...I have NO
company web folder in the inetpub folder either.

I don't mind rebuilding IIS again if i have to, but...i've done it twice now
and you all know the old saying "The definition of insanity is doing the
axact same thing over and over but expecting different results."

Where do i find out if the frontpage extensions are properly installed? can
i simply uninstall and reinstall them in add/remove windows components
without having to worry about causing a domino effect system crash? lol...god
i dont want that again...JAVA already owes me lunch twice. :)

Ike.

The only other note to add is that "backup" and "monitoring" give me error
400 when i try to view the snap in. I am pretty sure that's related to this
issue based on what i've read so i'm not too worried about THAT part ....just
info.
