I posted this message on microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices and they suggested posting my message here... Hello, I am trying to get WSS 2.0 sp2 to work on my x64 (64 bit Windows too) computer. I tried setting up WSS in standard mode and server farm and neither work. When I right click on 'SharePoint Central Administration', within IIS, and click browse, I get the error. The only other piece of software I have running is SQL Server 2005 (64 bit version). I saw in a SharePoint Portal Server KB to change the install directory for "...\program files (x86)\..." to "...\program files x86\...". I am not sure it that should also be the case for WSS. Although with WSS, I am never prompted for an install location. I did try running the install from the command line and specifying the install location but that parameter was ignored. This is what I have done: --- I made sure IIS was set to run as a 32 bit app using the following statement: cscript c:\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1 --- Under the 'Web Service Extensions' in IIS, the only allowed extensions are ASP.NET 1.1 (32 bit) and Windows SharePoint Services. --- I have tried changing the identity of the application pools. --- I have tried adding 'Everyone' to the local Administratator's group. --- I have checked the event logs and I didn't see any errors that seemed to apply. I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you, Marshall
I am experiencing the identical problem. I have looked everywhere on the internet and Microsoft's sites but cannot find a solution.
Can you give the IIS web log entry for the request to the WSS website which generates the 404 response, including http status, sub-status, and Win32 error codes. http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/12/31/HOWTO_Basics_of_IIS6_Troubleshooting.aspx -- //David IIS http://blogs.msdn.com/David.Wang This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. //
