If you’ve worked with MOSS long enough, I’m sure you’ve seen this error. The reasons that it occurs are numerous, and may even be blamed on poor error handling / reporting by the programmers.
If you’ve come across this error, and turned <customErrors /> off in your MOSS site’s web.config and it still occurs, you may [...]
If you’re using CKS EBE and have a solution to this, please feel free to let me know.
The automatic detection of blogs that post to your site is a pretty nice feature of CKS EBE, however, from what I see, there is no error checking. So if sites point to yours, you’ll eventually detect it [...]
One of the great new features that MOSS introduced, was an easy way to have the same information shared between multiple portals/sites. By extending your web applications, you can have separate authentication providers utilized to reach the same information using Forms Based Authentication (FBA). FBA is usually associated with a custom SQL server database, or [...]
Since starting this blog, I’ve tried to add features that I thought might be useful. After experimenting with a few searches, I decided to go with Google’s Search for AdSense. It seemed to be a pretty useful tool, with advertising harmlessly placed on the side of the search results page, and if someone finds an [...]
Host Headers are the answer!
YES! IIS can manage multiple web sites on the same port (properly port 80) without having to do extraneous configuring. This can even be done with MOSS and WSS implementations.
I’ve always considered it to be common knowledge that ‘host headers’ could be used to allow IIS to handle multiple web sites [...]
Ok, this is the last entry in this series of tutorials for setting up a MOSS development environment. In the prior posts, we installed SQL Server, installed MOSS, installed VS.NET and some other supporting products, and in this post, we’ll configure MOSS. The plan for this configuration is to go through the basic farm configuration [...]

Ok, here we go with part 2 of this tutorial. The part where we actually do the MOSS installation. If you missed part 1, you can find it here: Tutorial: Creating A MOSS Development Environment Part I – SQL Installation. If you’re back after doing part 1 and are ready for part 2, "Welcome back!" [...]
One of the questions I get the most is how exactly do you create a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) development environment and what software should be used / included. Since I usually create a new environment for every client, I get a lot of practice at it and I thought I’d document the [...]
I’m not sure if I’m the only one out there that doesn’t know this, especially since I’m an app dev guy and not an infrastructure guy (though you may not be able to tell by my posts so far), but AntiVirus engines can really ruin your day when you’re attempting to troubleshoot things, or install [...]
