Hi
I am in the process of testing a Gradual Upgrade from SharePoint services 2.0 to 3.0. We have only one front end web server connecting to a SQL server 2005 back end. I have 3 SharePoint Services 2.0 sites. 2 with content databases of about 20Gb and the other much smaller at about 350mb. All the sites have there own IP addresses. I have ran the Prescan.exe on the Webserver and all was OK with that. I installed sharePoint services 3.0 choseing to do a Gradual Upgrade and then ran the configuration Wizard where I chose to "Create a New Server Farm" All of that seemed to go OK and the wizard finished. I then opened the SharePoint Services 3 Administration console and went to the Operations Tab > Upgrade and Migration section and clicked on Site Content Upgrade status. The first thing I noticed was that only 2 of my 3 sites were showing. Which leads to my first question. How do I get the site that is not showing to appear in the Administration Console? I then proceeded to upgrade the first of the 2 sites that were showing in the administration console. The Upgrade seemed to go OK and I can browse all the new upgraded site. However I can not connect to the old sharepoint services 2 site usingthe URL that was deffined during the upgrade which was the IP address of the old site wiuth a new port number. (http://192.168.2.14:42145). I get an error message which says "Service Unavailable" So the second question is how do I browse the old SharePoint services 2.0 site. The next issue is that when trying to upgrade the next site from the Admin console I get an error that : "The IIS Web Site you have selected is in use by SharePoint. You must select another port or hostname" I am starting the upgrade by clicking on the "Begin Upgrade" link under Operations Tab > Upgrade and Migration section and Site Content Upgrade status. And clicking the link "Begin upgrade" oppsite my site. I am filling in all the relevant detail. We don't use Host Headers so I leave that blank. I created a new Application Pool with a configurable username and password. However when I click OK I then get the error message. "The IIS Web Site you have selected is in use by SharePoint. You must select another port or hostname" I have tried the procedure several times with the same result. Can anyone point me in the right direction for any or all of these issues. Thank you. Regards.
