where do i start? 1

Ok, Our "fearless leaders" have decided that Sharepoint is the future, and that we need to move forward with this ASAP, which if this can do anything to improve our documentation and communciation then i'm behind them 100%.
which now leads me onto my biggest problem. WHERE DO I START?

I've installed sharepoint 2007 on a w2003 box. I can access the site thorugh servername:38521, which i believe is the admin console\site. when i try to access it through the normal web browser (port80) it says site under reconstruction. i've never done anything with website's before, so i'm a little stuck. like i said, the admin website works fine, is this how people go about it, or do they do something else.



If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

i have another silly question.

when i try and connect to the portal i've created from the internet, it comes up and ask for a username and password, which when i enter the same details as i do when i connect over the lan, it comes back with 1)connection refused, then 2)pagye can not be displayed.

any ideas?

Did you change the security in IIS for Basic Authentication?
