An error occurred accessing your Windows SharePoint Services site files.

Hi,

Thank you Thomas.

You are correct.

We were not sure where the Sharepoint error message came from.

Apparently, Sharepoint is currently being bundled with Windows 2003 server:

Joe,

I have removed SP1, however without SP1 install, non of the OWS site numbers match any of the
identifier associated with any of the webs.

Hello Thomas,

I have been investigating this issue also and I noticed something very
important.

If you go to your Computer Management section and look at the OWC
permissions in the users section. They do not match the site number anymore
after SP1

In IIS 6.0 MMC you can see this by clicking on "web sites" and look to your
right pane You will see the identifier is different than what is in the admin
account in the Computer mangement console.
FYI

Joe

A number of users have indicated that they are having problem with Windows 2003 SP1 and FrontPage
(all versions), the best suggestion I think at this point is to uninstall SP1.

I had to do the same because I was not able to save any edited files within a web without
receiving
error message about permissions, however I had no problem accessing any of the webs on the server
from within FP.

Apparently, Sharepoint is currently being bundled with Windows 2003

server:

I wouldn't call it bundled.

1. You can download WSS. If you have Windows 2003 Server you can use it.

2. If you have Windows 2003 Server and run WindowsUpdate you'll be offered
the chance to install WSS.

WSS will be (in my definition of the word) bundled with Win 2003 Server R2
(publically available information) but again will need to be installed. The
difference to the present Win 2003 Server is that it will be on the CD - it
isn't on the Windows 2003 Server CD.

Hi,

Yes, it is a tad confusing.

Fortunately, we did figure out it was not related to the portal server.

Yet it was a previously unencountered message.

The fact that it contained "Windows Sharepoint Services" is why we posted
to the public.sharepoint.windowsservices in conjunction with the other ngs.

Some of the research we came across implied a bundling of Sharepoint with
Windows 2003 server.

Either way, hopefully, this thread and its valuable information will help
others.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Hi Susan,

As a follow-up - post phone call to Microsoft.

They took down the information and then suggested putting things into
written form mailing it to MS as well.
Apparently, written correspondence is given immediate attention and is
incorporated into their monthly reports.

Brian,
I strongly recommend following Thomas Rowe's suggestion [uninstall win 2k3
sp1].
If you encounter additional errors, please post back here.
Uninstalling Win 2003 sp1 resolved the main problems - especially the posted
specific error message.
We encountered some residual issues, mostly due to the application of
recommended fixes appropriate to the error message.
Those are now cleaned up as well, thanks again to the Thomas and the other

What is the status of this post.
My server is still broke

Hi,

I am not sure which forum to post this to, thus it is crossposted.
That way redundant help is not received and others are not taxed timewise
over something already being resolved.
Thank you in advance.

Until the Windows server 2003 sp1 update was applied - all of our sites
worked fine.

Currently we receive errors when we try to publish the webs to the server.
[An error occurred accessing your Windows SharePoint Services site files.
Authors - if authoring

The websites are located on a small webserver.
It is a windows 2003 server, IIS6.0 with FPSE 2002.
SharePoint is not used.

FP2003 is used on a local computer to work on some of the client sites.
The edited content is then published to the above webserver with minimal

no issues - (until the update on Thursday evening).

We have worked the full weekend trying to resolve this - following advice
from uninstalling IIS,
FPSE, Asp.net and reinstalling it - to changing permissions on sites.

We can no longer publish from local computer to remote [meaning the

If you can help - I would deeply appreciate it. I rely on the one website

I may have posted my fix in the wrong thread.

You don't need to uninstall SP1.

You do need to stop checking the loopback connector so that Kerberos
doesn't break for virtual domains.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;896861

At least that, and a good sanity check of permissions fixed it for me.
See my previous post under "Win 2003 SP1 FrontPage Problem".

It has been several days now, two servers were having this issue..
hundreds of domains... and zero complaints after we made this change.

I had no problems actually accessing any web under Windows 2003 SP1 via FrontPage, however I was not
able to save any existing pages directly after editing, only new pages. Note: I was force in to the
Save As dialog, and 3 or 4 time of clicking Ok, and then finally click Cancel, I discovered that the
page actually had been saved.

I agree that it is a permissions related issues.

Hello Thomas,

I know this is an old post but I thing I just stumbled upon something?

If you recreate the accounts after SP1 they seem to work e.g. Admin.
Contributor. Advanced author and then assign them to the appropriate people.

[Thomas A. Rowe]

I really never set those up originally, all of my sites are set to have full access from the Admin
account. This is a in-house server used for development only.

Plus there should be no reason for SP1 to change those permissions.

Imagine a web hosting service with 100s of server and 1,000s of user accounts, do you really think
they are going to re-create accounts?

No I don't think they will set them up. but you should if you have FP because
I have 5 sites hosted for others and they would be able to get into the
other webs if i did not set these accounts per site. Well anyhow i don't
think it is a "fix" for SP1

Hi Michael,

Although I appreciate your post - that did not serve as a fix for us.

The only full fix was as explained above (uninstall sp1).

We will not be implementing SP1 until we are assured that it will not break
our system again.

We checked all permissions. We even removed and added accounts. We tried
many, many fixes (KBA recommended, Expert recommended, etc)
We followed various bits of advice (albeit good advice, it did not resolve
the issues and when sp1 was uninstalled the 'fixes' left residual damage
that required days of rectifying to enable all webs to be functional).

The main fix for this error is to uninstall Windows 2003 sp1.
Especially if it is uninstalled prior to other 'fixes' have been employed.

Dana,

I know that Windows 2003 SP1 servers can host multiple virtual domains
with FPSE on them owned by happy customers. I am sure that uninstalling
SP1 is not the only answer, but in your situation I trust that it was
the best answer and am glad things are finally back to normal for you.

I suspect that you made some other changes, removing the new accounts
perhaps, and went past a point of no return. Uninstalling SP1 may have
been your only choice then, but before you made those other changes, I
bet you could have dealt with the authentication issue(s) and saved
yourself days of "rectifying". I wish I could have been more help.

For others reading this: Make sure the new MSSharePointApp Pool is run
as "Local Service", make sure that the roles.ini files ACL includes
System full control and that the security is not inherited. And remove
the loopback adapter being checked per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;896861

Sorry you had so much trouble and that I wasn't more help,
