Companyweb unable to access

Hi there

I have done some searching on this forum and have found similar posts but
not exactly the same as my own situation.

I have a SBS2003 R2 server newly installed which displays 'Page cannot be
displayed' in the
following:

- Companyweb
- Monitoring (Server Management)
- Backup ( Server Management)

Is there a single factor that could cause all of these to fail?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you complete the SBS portion of the setup? This runs after the initial
OS install and a reboot.

Reinstall.

You are definitely missing some components because assuming a clean
install right out of the box on a virgin HDD, it will just work. If any
installed components fail to install you need to sort out the reason.
There will be a failure somewhere, assuming you actually completed the
install.

Thanks for replying, as far as I know all the post OS installs wer done, at
least all the CD's were prompted for and duly inserted.

DNS appears to be configured and working fine I can ping the local server
with servername.domainname.local the companyweb site is listed in IIS manager
and I can start and stop it with no problems, the other websites under IIs
are;

default
Microsoft SharePoint Administration
SharePoint Central Administration

The latter also does not work clicking on the SharePoint Central
Administration link under Admin tools attempts to load from

http://localhost:8081/

but comesup with a 404, page canot b found error message.

Any ideas? TIA

In trying to resolve this issue I noticed in some other postings a reference
to the ASP.Net ver needing to be 1.1.xxxx but not 2.0.xxxx which is what mine
was set to only now I get the following error;

Server Error in '/' Application
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable
on the local server machine, please create a <customErrors> tag within a
"web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current
web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode"
attribute set to "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote
machines, please set "mode" to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's
<customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Are you able to shed some light on this? TIA

If you're doing a fresh install then this step by step guide is very handy,
its by Andy Goodman. His guide might reveal a setting that's not quite
right.

http://www.sbs-rocks.com/articles.htm - go to the SBS2003 articles, see the
Part 1 through to Part 6, this is where you want to look.

Regards.
