After I installed the MOSS SP2 update yesterday, when I hit refresh on my custom ASPX page, I got the below exception.
Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException: An error has occurred on the server.http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=96177.
I was little bit surprised and frustrated to find out the cause why it was showing. I ran the configuration wizard and checked the database schema version. Everything was fine. After research and thought about it for some time, started trail and error methods to find out the issue by going to event viewer and logs etc…
Finally found the problem. That was Because of not restarting the server after installing the SP2 on the server. After I restarted the server, everything worked fine and i am very happy by seeing the page on the browser.
Is this helpful?
I have MOSS server running from long time and it has plenty of sites running. Now I got a new requirement from one of my clients that their site should support different languages. This bothered me somewhat because of this article. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262108.aspx
Which explains as below
Install the necessary language files on the front-end Web servers.
Install Office SharePoint Server 2007 on each front-end Web server.
Run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard on each front-end Web server.
If that is the case, I need to uninstall MOSS on the server and need to install all language files before installing MOSS. But if that happens I will loose my server settings and the whole environment. It’s impossible to get the same development settings if I uninstall it. Then I posted about this, in MSDN forums and Mike Walsh all time favorite to me, gave me very fast reply and his solution worked great!!!
You can take a look at it here.
Hope this will help you too!!!
We know the expiration issue of SharePoint server after install of Service pack 2. Now Microsoft has been working to fix it from past 2 months and finally they released an update and it is ready for download. You can install it on both the Server with SP1 or the Server with SP2 installed. You can see more details here.
So, what are you waiting for? Just download it and install on the server.
