Thank you. Right now I just want to copy the larger photos, which were uploaded improperly. Then I will deleted the existing photo libraries and re-upload them at a more reasonable size. I just wanted to make sure I didn't loose the photos before deleting the libraries.
I'm going to do a test run to make sure what I want to do will work. I may want to pick your brain in the future with some other Sharepoint questions, if that is okay.
Feel free to, and I'll do my best to answer. Denis Kelley is also another good one to talk to. He has a lot more experience with WSS 3.
I jumped to Sharepoint pretty quickly after rolling out for testing. I also noticed from your profile that you're in Northern Colorado. You should come to the next SpiceCorps of Northern Colorado meeting. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question. This is a SBS server, it and the Sharepoint site have been running for a couple of years.
Solution management AAM Topology Databases in the Sql server management studio Uninstall windows internal database from the add remove programs". I am attaching a screenshot of the databases - it looks very odd to me - I have not done any sql management before. As you can see in your first screenshot you have multiple sharepoint configs database. According to the link I gave you, those are blank database that causing errors.
Backup your databases first before proceed to do anything. Also, you can look inside the database folder via explorer which database actually have data. Your most important ones are the admin database and the sharewebdb. Maybe you can also google on how to manually backup sharepoint database : I'm away from my computer right now so I cannot provide any screenies.
Thanks for clarifying which are the important databases. The other config files are on the C: drive and are mb each, so they are the blank ones. I appreciate everyone's help. This is a good primer for me for SQL and Sharepoint troubleshooting. You have take screenshots of AAM etc from your sharepoint admin page. But if you never fiddle with anything and just use standard settings and never installed custom solution I think you can skip that.
Aha - The Admin will not open! Glad to know the standard settings should be ok. The only thing that looks custom is the location of the databases, and it appears that will sync up when I connect to the farm?
I will try this out Monday when I am onsite. Thank you. IF you can live with losing any custom permissions and addons if you had any,you can uninstall the Sharepoint services and reinstall,create a new Farm then in the Admin site attach to the old Content DB,just be sure to have your Sharepoint patch level the same or higher than it was before and it'll attach and upgrade as necessary.
I did not set it up, so I don't know which addons were added But we are using 3 or 4 sharepoint blocks that will take some time to recreate the permissions. I am also unclear on this point - when I reinstall Sharepoint does that create a new farm or can I connect to the existing one? You can select create new farm or connect to existing when installing sharepoint,new farm is your cleanest option. I was not able to complete the Select command - kept getting an error at the From line, but I went to the Versions table and tried to browse it, but kept getting the 'signature is not valid' error.
Any other way to retrieve the version? I have everything backed up. It looks like I will have to restart the server a couple of times to reinstall, so it may take a day or so before I can finish. I can open SharePoint Central Administration. I am glad to get thru that part!! These still show in the updates, and when I reinstalled WSS it said "applying updates" as part of the install, so I think I should be at the same version as before.
Restore all the databases , and attach the database back to the farm. Still working on this. Before doing so, we performed a full backup of everything that was on the box. It was Windows SharePoint Services 3. Is there a way to retrieve the data that was on the SharePoint site from the backup?
Where is the content database for the sharepoint site? Imagine what we could be Daniel A. Galant Sr. The content database resides in your db server. You can get this information from your central admin. Yes, it was all on one box. It was WSS 3. A second box was purchased and SharePoint was loaded onto it, along with Exchange Most, but not all, of the files in WSS were moved over.
We didn't want Exchange and SharePoint to be on the same box, so after a full backup of the box that had WSS, we wiped it and began to prep it for Exchange. So right now, the full backup is still on an external HD. I was the one that realized that we had missed some files, which is why I'm looking for a way to restore them.
Once I find the data files, I'm not entirely sure how to restore them, either I'm still learning, here! OK good, that's what I was thinking I should do.
It's tough because I was not around when SharePoint and SQL were set up, so as I'm looking for the mdf and ldf files, I'm not finding the default names that I'm expecting. I'm thinking since our current SharePoint is , the easiest way to restore the files is to create a new WSS website, detach the DBs and then attach my recovered DBs?
