Let's Talk about .. MOSS2007-Runtime Error without any details

Yesterday, I found a Runtime Error page instead of web site showing. A support engineer from Microsoft suggested me to modify web.config of my MOSS in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\[YOUR_PORT] as following

-in SafeMode tag, set Attribute CallStack="True"
-in customErrors, set Attribute Mode="Off"

I found that my web.config already be set like that. Then, he checked again and found that there are 2 locations of web.config since I have 2 Server: MOSS and DB which I also set both of them as Web Front End server (by installing MOSS to both of them). Thus, two web.config(s) had to be modified. Then, I could see what the error was.

Let's Talk about .. MOSS2007-Back up SharePoint FULL with Scheduled Tasks

Yesterday, I was assigned to perform a back up schedule for MOSS.

The concept is full backing up for SharePoint and Site Collection backing up for each site collection.

P’Pop Wantit Tangrugsasut, senior system analyst from CS division, teached me about a concept and how to do it.

The instruction to back up Site Collection as Scheduled Task
-Create a shared folder name “ERP_MOSS_Backup”. It must be shared and added permission to write the files to the Admin account.
-Write a script at the Database server for creating folder.

[Batch file]

@ECHO OFF

FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%I IN ('DATE /t') DO SET mydate=%%J%%K%%L

cd \

F:

cd "Moss_Backup"

mkdir "Moss_Backup_%mydate%"

-Save it at that Folder
-Set the Scheduled Task for the script by this instruction http://natttech.blogspot.com/2009/05/lets-talk-about-windows-server-2003.html
-Write a script to Back up MOSS (FULL)

[Batch file]

@ECHO OFF

FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%I IN ('DATE /t') DO SET mydate=%%J%%K%%L

cd \

c:

cd "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\"


STSADM.exe -o backup -directory \\[SERVER_NAME]\[FOLDER_NAME]\Moss_Backup_%mydate% -backupmethod full

Where [SERVER_NAME] is your server name to put the backup files there
And [FOLDER_NAME] is your folder you wanna put the backup files

-Or Write a script to Back up Site Collection MOSS
[Batch file]

@ECHO OFF

FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%I IN ('DATE /t') DO SET mydate=%%J%%K%%L

cd \

c:


cd "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\"


stsadm.exe -o backup -url http://[MOSSWebApp]/Sites/[SiteCollection_NAME] -filename "\\[SERVER_NAME]\[FOLDER_NAME]\Moss_Backup_%mydate%\[FILE_NAME].dat" –overwrite

Where [SERVER_NAME] is your server name to put the backup files there
And [FOLDER_NAME] is your folder you wanna put the backup files
And [FILE_NAME] is your backup file name

Let's Talk about .. MOSS2007&Reporting Service-Error The request failed with HTTP status 401 : Unauthorized

After I managed integration settings and granted database access, I clicked at Set server defaults in Reporting Services of Application Management.

Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. -> Server was unable to process request. ---> The request failed with HTTP status 401 : Unauthorized" as shown in the figure.

We discussed and connected live meeting with a support engineer from Microsoft. He said that the cause was the authentication mode of ReportServer host website. The way he used to solve this problem was running the command

[CMD]

cd c:\Inetpub\Adminscriptscscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc\c:\Inetpub\Adminscrpts cscript
cd C:\Inetpub\Adminscripts cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/XXXXXXXXX/root/NTAuthenticationProviders "NTLM“cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/XXXXXXXXX/NTAuthenticationProviders "NTLM"

where XXXXXXXXX is the identifier of the ReportServer host website.
