Re: WSS 2.0 and 3.0

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Now click on the 'Create Site Collection'. Under 'Web Application' you should be seeing: http://wss (if you use the same as my example). Give a title to the site and under URL you should have: http://wss/ (no need to change the '/' to '/Sites' ) . Select a template, provide the primary site admin user name and click OK. After you finish go to the command prompt and type: iisreset /noforce

Create an A record that points to 'wss' with IP the address of the server (internal address). You should be good to go. Let me know if you have any issues

Hi

Right. Have deleted that one, plus some other rogue ones where I kept trying

Have created a new application as described and I am at the Application Created page.

Off home now, so will catch up tomorrow.

It seems that you tried to make the default web site a SharePoint site. That can create problems to your server. If this is what you tried to do, intentionally or unintentially, select the SharePoint 80 entry, and on the next page under 'Delete IIS Web Sites' select: NO.... make sure this is setup to "No". Follow the steps in my previous post

Hi

Thanks for your help so far, I do appreciate it.

At the Select Web Application stage, I have 3:
Magiglo Intranet (http://server1:24987/)
SharePoint - 80 (http://server1) - that's where I saw it!
SharePoint Central Adminstration v3 (http://server1:47901/)

Go to SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration. Click the Application Management tab. Select 'Remove SharePoint from IIS Web Site'. Click on the entry next to 'Web Application and select 'Change Web Application'. In the window that opens up you should have two entries: One for the Central Administration and one for the Magiglo Intranet. If you have more let me know. If you have just these two, select the 'Magiglo Intranet'. Under 'Deletion Option' make sure that the name of the site is selected and then select 'Delete IIS Web Sites'. Click OK

What we do is delete the old site you created and create it again under port 80.

When you finish that, go to the Application Management tab again and select 'Create or Extend Web Application'. Click 'Create a new Web Application'. On the next screen, select 'Create a new website'. Under Port type 80 and under 'Host header' type: 'wss'. Further down the list, select 'Create a new application pool', use 'Predefined' as the account for the application pool (for now, although it should have its own account) and then click OK (you can streamline the settings later.

Let me know if it works up to that point

Hi

At the moment, I do not appear to have that site, although I thought I had seen it. At the moment, I have the following:
Default Web Site (Port 80)
SharePoint Central Administration v3 (Port 47901)
Magiglo Intranet (Port 24987)
Microsoft SharePoint Administration (Port 9494)
SharePoint Central Administration (Port 8081)
companyweb (Port 80)

None of them have the intranet host header.

In IIS Manager, is there a web site called 'SharePoint - intranet80' under 'Web Sites' pointing to the IP of the server with a host header (click the 'Advanced' button) named 'intranet'.

The reason you get the page for the default web site, is that either the host header has not been set or there is no 'intranet' site yet.

Hi

When I set up the A record, the http://intranet gives me the "Welcome to Windows Small Business Server 2003" page as it does for http://server1

This sharepoint site has some data, but only from today with us looking at the Gantt functionality, so nothing that can't be redone. However I do want to find a way if there is one to bring over some of the data from our old WSS2 site. One step at a time though!

That means that you already have a SharePoint Web Application at port 80 with the name 'intranet'. Create an A record for 'intranet' in your DNS server on SBS, that points to the IP address of the server. Try to access it by typing: http://intranet Does it work?

If not, go to IIS Manager, and under 'Web Sites' see if there is a site called 'SharePoint - intranet80'. If one exists, go to 'Properties', click the Advanced button, and see if there is a host header with the name 'intranet' pointing to port 80. If nothing of these works, let me know, we'll remove the web application from within Central Administration and recreate it.

Just to make sure, this SharePoint site does not have any data right?

Yes, I appreciate that, but when I try to do that it tells me:
The directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\intranet80 is already being used by another IIS Web Site. Choose a different root directory for your new Web application.

What I described in my earlier post has nothing to do with the installation of WSS. It is about creating a Web Application after you install WSS. For post 80 to work, you must supply a host header on the field below the port entry. Give it the name for your site (e.g. intranet, or something like that)

I followed the whitepaper to the letter for installing WSS 3.0 on SBS 2003, so I didn't dare do anything differently.

When I try to use port 80 it doesn't let me.

When you created the first Web Application from within Central Administration, at the section where you create a new IIS web site, you could have selected port 80, instead of port 24987, and you could have given the site a host header name e.g. 'intranet'. Creating a DNS record that points to the internal IP of the server will allow you to type http://intranet and bring you to the SharePoint site.

If you don't have content within SharePoint at this point, go to Central Administration, delete the Web Application and create a new one following the steps above

Hi

I have successfully (I think) followed the guide to install these two side by side on SBS 2003.

My question is, is there a way to make the WSS 3.0 site appear in a friendly url like http://intranet etc rather than the current one http://server1:24987/sites/intranet/default.aspx

I know it may be simple, but at the moment I can't find it.

Thanks!
