Thanks for the input. I am self taught as well however ive just had clearance from work to do my w2k8 mcse and sharepoint, exchange, ocs 2007 which is real cool. I did run into the guid thing before which is a pain because most installations ive come across only have only one server and at most one farm.
So if I read the thread right, you can do the re-attach model once but not twice? Changing the settings in IIS seems to result in 40.1.x errors in my experience. It’s kind of a pain you can’t modify the web app without extending it to another site.

The only gotcha here is that the re-attach method will only work once per content database on a given farm. So for example, taking a copy of a content DB and re-attaching that to a newly created web app (on the same box/farm) would not work. The issue if I recall (it's bene a while) is the site collection GUID is no longer unique.. On Thu Jan 31 13:11 , 'Craig Stevens' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I think so. I've had to do this before. (Both of your questions) However I've found the best way of doing this for me was as follows Delete the site that is broken, Create a new site, with the port number and URL that you require Detach the database for the new site via a batch command Attach the old database to the new site. I'm self taught to do with everything with SP, I've found sql studio express, a free download to be invaluable ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
