    Hi

    I installed WSS 3.0 and  I am unable to launch the default Sharepoint website. I have run the configuration wizard and it completed the configuration successsfully

    Please suggest possible solution

    The log states :  The  operation is not valid due to the current state of the object

    Failed to retrieve the server bindings with an internal server invalidoperations exceptioen.

    the only problem,  i see is the IIS and Sharepoint share the same port 80, but even if i change the default port, i cannot launch the default sharepoint website.

    Thanks

    Did you configure the sharepoint central admin website as port 80? You shouldn't do this. The central admin site is an administration site and not a default site to be used. It is only intended to be used as administration site and not for collaboration or similar purposes. You should host this site on a non-standard port and not on port 80. As you just installed sharepoint I would recommend to run psconfig wizzard again, remove the server from the farm, delete the configuration and admin content database and run psconfig again. This time you should use a different port (e.g. 8888 or similar) for your central admin.

    You may just be able to right-click and stop the default web site which should fix the conflict. But if you have put the central administration site on port 80 it's a good idea to do as Stefan suggests.

    Thanks,here's what i did

    - Re-installed WSS 3.0 in basic mode

    - Ran  psconfig to create the config db (i had to do this because when i ran the config wizard it was faling on the connecting to configdb step)

    - Re-ran the wizard and it worked fine. i was able to launch both the default SP site on port 80 and the central admin app on a (different port using localhost only( and not the server name for some reason)

    should the config db be created in the windows internal dabase (SSEE) because when i ran the psconfig the db was created in SQL Server 2008

    Thanks
