I've done the same thing as you and left the old 2003 one running... from memory (and it was a while ago so don't quote me on this), all I did was create a new DNS entry for Sharepoint2k3, updated the hostheader in IIS with this new name and then entered it into the default URL in central admin under Alternate Access Properties (or something to that effect). That eliminated any clashes.

The web app was upgraded as kind of a swing mode, due to the same farm. The new web app works nicely however i do need to restore the old web app on the 2003 server so that i can fire it up and see the hidden web apps that they lost. The old server is 2003 and is still running, i have the 3 sql databases, but everytime i go to restore the portal i get the following error in the log Thursday, 21 February 2008 14:27:27 Log file opened. 14:27:27 Starting portal creation for Student Portal Site 14:27:27 Values used for restore: PortalUrl=http://sldmsvr2:111/ Virtual Server Url=http://sldmsvr2:111/ PortalName=Student Portal Site Application Pool=MSSharePointPortalAppPool, user=SLDMDOM\stlouis SiteDB=(SLDMSVR2, StudentP1_SITE) ProfileDB=(SLDMSVR2, StudentP1_PROF) ServiceDB=(SLDMSVR2, StudentP1_SERV) 14:27:27 Original values recovered: SiteCountWarning=9000 SiteCountLimit=15000 OriginalPortalUrl=http://students.stlouis.melb.catholic.edu.au/ OriginalWorkspaceUrl= PortalWasFederated=FALSE PortalWasCentral=FALSE 14:27:27 Enter RecoverSite() 14:27:27 Portal creation failed Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Install.DuplicateDirectoryException: Exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Install.DuplicateDirectoryException was thrown. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Install.c.a(Uri A_0, Uri A_1) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Admin.c.a() at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Admin.c.f() 14:27:27 Enter SearchConfigure I thought it might have been something to do with the fact that the same orginial url is now being used on the other 2007 server in the same farm. Wondering if anyone has some information. ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
