404 and Page Not Found error on Sharepoint Site

[mattp...@gmail.com]

My 2003 server downloaded (w/in the last few days) an update for
Windows Sharepoint Services 3.1 (KB932091). I ran the install and it
seemed to lock up before completing the install. I ended up having to
reset the server and I ran the update again after the restart. It
completed with no problem.
However now I cannot access the pages I've created on Sharepoint nor
the Central Administration Site. I'm prompted for credentials when I
try to browse to it but get 404 Not found error on my workstation and
Http/1.1 404 Connection Close error when trying to browse through IIS
on the server (also prompted for credentials there).

I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me experienced this after
the Auto Update and can help out.

thanks

I have the same exact problem.
WSS 3 on SBS 2003.
Haven't been able to fix it either.
Even tried to restore last night''s backups of the SQL STS
config,admincontent,and site content dbs. No dice.

One additional note. When getting the 404 error, windows event log
gives me these errors:

For my intranet site:
The database STS_iron_427867325_2196 on IRON\Microsoft##SSEE is not
accessible to missing Windows Internal Database signatures.

For central admin site:
The database SharePoint_AdminContent_52effa5e-c1f9-4fa2-aac9-
bc90ffc21099 on IRON\Microsoft##SSEE is not accessible to missing
Windows Internal Database signatures.

Just got the same problem too after discovering that update services
in sbs 2003 has installed it as a critical update on 27 March.

I am getting the exact same errors after having the exact same problem
with the update. It froze, I had to restart, then the 404 errors
started occuring with the same Event information posted above. Please
help!

There are already other posts on this exact issue. I called PSS (800)
936-4900. Have been on hold (still on hold as I type) for 3 hours 45
minutes. It is a free support call based on the issue.

I will post the results as soon as I get it fixed. May not be until tomorrow
as I MUST leave work in 1 1/2 hours.

FWIW, things i've tried so far to fix this that didn't work, so any of
you don't waste your time.

1. Restoring all SQL 2005 DBs from backup (including master) [sql 2005
management studio/sqlcmd]
2. Repairing WSS 3.0 [add/remove programs]
3. Repairing .NET 3.0 [add/remove programs]
4. Restoring my IIS web directories (e.g. C:\inetpub) from backup
[xopy]
5. Fake-uninstalling the KB (by means of registry modifications) and
attempting to reinstall it again. [regedit]
6. Restoring the WSS site from a "stsadm -o backup -url" backup
[stsadm -r restore]

I'm tapped, short of removing all of WSS, reinstalling, and restoring
last night's DBs (and even that may not work i suspect).

Hi Guys

I had the same problem. and i fixed it by going here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A49472F9-93EF-4423-BD0B-06B1B331C7AC&displaylang=en
download the file that matches your OS. ie x32 or x64
If you try to run the file it will tell you the patch is already installed.
but run the file with "/extract" extrace the file to someware and run
"dw20w.msp"
Let it do its thing. It takes a while......Then presto. well as least for
me.

Let me know how you guys go with it.

[Marco]

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for your reply. This solved my problem!!!

I extract the update and started the dw20w.msp. I took about 45 minutes when
it was finished, but then everything worked fine!

Thanks again!
Marco.

Hi Marco/Andrew

This is the update that seemed to cause my problems.

Whenever I navigate to one of our sharepoint 3.0 sites in a browser we
get a message like this.

"HTTP/1.1 404 Connection: close Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 10:31:42 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices: 12.0.0.4518"

We're using Small Bssiness Server 2003 RS Premium. Are you guys using
Windows 2003 Server?

Robin

[Marco]

Hello Robin,

I use Windows Server 2003 and WSS3.0. The solution of Andrew solved my
problem.

I think, an installation on SBS2003 will also work with this solution.

Regards,
Marco.

I'm up again! Same fix as above. Glad y'all said to let it run for a
while as I think mine took about an hour. Which makes me wonder if I
hosed it up by not letting it run long enough the first time.
Did all (or any) of you cancel or try to stop the original install?

Also - Andrew> how did you find the KB article (fix). I searched a
fair bit yesterday and couldn't find anything on it. Not that I would
have thought of running it again - but I should have at least stumbled
across that page.

[Steve Gould at]

I have already done this yesterday. It had no effect other than to add this
KB to add/remove programs with the message "cannot be removed".

Yes! That is EXACTLY the solution for the same problem that was vexing
us.

Our system kept telling us "the patch is already installed" so we
tried the "/extract" trick you mentioned to run "dw20w.msp"
and we let it run. It appeared to be hanging almost indefinitely about
half way through, but it took about 4 hours to completely run
but it ran successfully and solved the problem. Thank you for your
help!

By the way, our server is Microsoft 2003 Standard edition on a Raid 5
(Dell Poweredge 2600) with Sharepoint 2007.

[Steve Gould at]

I rebooted, ran dw20w.msp again. This time I let it run to completion. Took
about 1:20. I then had to reboot twice before I was able to access the site.

Thanks Guys

I followed your instructions to run the dw20w.msp file and my
sharepoint sites are back!!. It took about 1.5 hours to install.

As a result I've switched off auto approval of security and critical
updates to our small business server and will control the patching
from now on.

For anyone who may need to know we were running Windows Small Business
Server 2003 R2 Premium Edition with Sharepoint 3.0 alongside
Sharepoint 2.0 and reinstalling the update worked just need to be
patient.

[floria...@googlemail.com]

i have the same problem, but the instruction with the dw20w.msp
doesn't work.
after the installation which tooks one hour only the administration
page could be connect.

:-(

[DavidL]

This patch is also not working for me.
I am still getting the Internal Database Signatures error.

I have tried to repair the Sharepoint Installation, but the wizard has
a JIT error and I have yet to try and ignore it to press on.

This is a real shame to have a client starting to be happy with
Sharepoint, only to have a Microsoft patch screw it up.

I really don't want to lose that Sharepoint site.

THANK YOU!

Doesn't work so well for me. I have tried running the dw20w.msp and
it finished successfully. Or I should say it finished without
throwing up an error. But I still cannot access the SharePoint site
or the administration side. 404 errors. However, it is a different
404 error than if I were to request a specific page (default.aspx for
example). The root requests generates a detailed 404 error, whereas
the page requests generates the generic which IE dumbs down for me (I
compared the source so I know they're different). I don't know if
this makes any difference or not. One other thing I've also tried is
the SharePoint Configuration Wizard. It will not successfully run
either. This is very frustrating! You don't expect patches to break
things, especially critical patches deployed via Windows Update...

[uda...@gmail.com]

Along with the KB932091 update, our windows update applied SP 2 and
four other updates all at the same time. Now, my Sharepoint site is
inaccesible. I have tried to rerun the KB932091 update by extracting
it, and it run only for about min and poops... installation windows
disappears. I have tried to access SharePoint Products and
Technologies Configuration Wizard and it pops an error described
below.

Is there any way to get this back up or do I have to start all over
with my Sharepoint site?

Thanks in advance..
