Hello Experts,
My company has recently purchased a server solution that hosts SharePoint websites and is powered with WSS 3.0. We had two sharepoint shared hosting with a hosting company and we wanted to import the sites to our new VPS. After too much fighting with the shared hosting company, they have provided us a backup of our site. The command they used to backup our site was:
stsadm -o backup -url http://site1.net -filename c:\site1.bak
They have emailed us this file. I have created a new web application, created a new site with 2048 port and run the following command for restoration:
stsadm -o restore -url http://site1.net:2048 -filename c:\site1.bak -overwrite
The import was successful!
Now the actual issue is as follows:
I tried to login to the site via the admin user that I newly assigned to the site -- machine_name\username. Please note that when the site was in shared platform, the username was xxx\user1. I changed the user from server solution > Central Administration > Site Administrator link. No matter what I do, I am unable to login to the site.
Is this the only location where I should change the site administrator? Is there any entries I have to modify somewhere else? Did I follow the right procedure?
I need to bring up the site back online soon so I'm eagerly awaiting your replies.
Thank you in advance...
