Hi Aaron, I have a publishing site with multiple folders in the root folder. I want to be able to set a default page for the subfolders .

RE: [OzMOSS] Best practises
The only hard and fast 'Best Practice' is to have a dev environment separate from a prod environment. The general consensus on moving from one environment to another is to: A) Use a feature/solution for migrating content B) Use STSADM Backup/Restore or Import/Export for moving Sites/Site Collections from one Environment to Another (moving to new hardware, etc...) C) Migrate Databases Dave Porter MCS Subject: [OzMOSS] Best practisesDate: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 08:41:10 +1000From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: listserver@ozmoss.com Hi Guys, Lately i've been wondering if there's such as thing as MOSS to MOSS Migration Best Practises? It seems that everybody has a solution/suggestion on how it's best done but insofar as i can see there's no connect between suggestions. As i'm sure i'll be doing a lot of migration work in the near future i was wondering if anybody has any further info lying around on the topic? oh, that they're willing to share that is :) Regards Brian H.

RE: [OzMOSS] Recovering data from a dead site
Hi Matt, I am thinking you should restore your Content DB to SQL Server where an existing sharepoint environment is already configured. Your VM sounds fine. So restore your Content DB (Content.bak) to Sql Server, then go to Central Admin and create a Web Application. In the Create Web Application UI there is a property for the Content DB. This is filled out by default. Remove this entry and type in the name of your Content DB that you restored. This makes a connection between your Web Application and your Content DB. Hope this helps.
