Error after upgrade.

[perrymans]

I did a dumb thing and upgraded the Portal Server to SP2. WSS had apparently upgraded itself to SP2, and I couldn't add custom web parts (from Microsoft downloads). So I thought I'd upgrade to SP2 on the Portal Server.

Now, I can't get to the default page or my home page, they all give:

"An unexpected error has occurred.

Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily disable Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator."

So now I am sweating bullets, because it appears I can't unistall this SP2, and I don't really want to do the restore route if possible.

I have the link for the hotfix for this problem, though I don't want to throw anything else out there until I know a little better if this will fix the problem.

All of the other threads and blogs talk about not being able to add a web part, not loosing the ability to see the default sites (which contain customizations). I CAN see other sites on Sharepoint I have created under my user profile but have not customized those, which I assume has something to do with this.

It is only a metter of time before someone notices I brought down our Sharepoint server, and I would prefer to fix it quietly if possible.

Thanks. Sean.

Hello,

Are you able to browse to the page

http://<site

name>/_layouts/1033/settings.aspx or viewlsts.aspx
Is it the home page only that u r not able to browse?
If it is only the home page which you are not able to browse then probably there might be some issue with the web parts on the home page.
Try browsing the page

http://<site

name>/default.aspx?contents=1 & check if there are any errored web parts, if there are then try to close the web parts.
Also try to open the home page in the frontpage application & try to see if there are any error related to the web parts, try to look out for any hidden web parts, close all of them & check.

When u go to the sharepoint central administration->Windows SharePoint services->configure virtual server settings page, what is the version u see, is it .6568 or 6361 ?
if SP2 is installed properly then the .6568 should be visible. if it is some other version, then try stsadm -o upgrade -forceupgrade

thanks
