Critical Error: Unknown Community Site

The Community Server site  "cosvr06/cs" was not found.

-----------------------------

I used the Automated Web Installer

The server's name is COSVR06 ,I created the CS virtual Directory.

It talks about a "'New Community Server Site Wizard'"  , What is that , a ASPX file, a Sql Script or what, it doesn't say in the message or give a link to it.

What should my URL be ? http://cosvr06/cs   http://cosvr06/cs/forums http://cosvr06/???  what?

This is an intranet setup.

What was the url used when you used the web installer?

If it was a different url, you can always use the following stored proc to add this new url.

EXEC cs_system_AddNewUrl OriginalUrl, NewUrl

reference: Multiple Community Installations
 

Tried that but it doesn't work....

 What is the exact syntax of it if I use query analyzer Should I put the values in quotes if I select OPEN in QA and get the form view of the script?

the server name is cosvr06 the virtrual directory is CS, should it be entered as cosvr06/cs? 

NOTE: if I log on locally and use http://localhost/cs, I can log on but if I try http://cosvr06/cs locally it will give me the same error still.

 

Thanks

Is the addurl process dynamic?

or

When I do the stored procedure should I restart IIS?

Should I restart the "application", and if so How?

Should I just put in the server's name cosvr06 or include the virtual directory cosvr06/cs?

Can I view and/or edit the URL directly in the database?

I keep seeing posts that this is a simple "app" to install, I know I just have a simple issue.

 

Thanks

Try this in Query Analyzer:

EXEC cs_system_AddNewUrl 'localhost/cs', 'cosvr06/cs'

You can copy and paste this into Query Analyzer just the way it is.  With the window open (new query) and the correct database selected, just copy, paste, and execute.

The urls can be found in the cs_Sites table.

I'm fairly sure that once you execute this proc, if the url is correct, Community Server will work without having to restart IIS.  If anything, you can reset the application by resaving the web.config file.  The easiest way to do this is to open the web.config add a new line or space, remove it and save it.
 

Got it, I just edited the table itself. I hope there is no other spots that require updates.!!??

 

thanks All for All your help!

This fellow asked this question: "It talks about a "'New Community Server Site Wizard'"  , What is that , a ASPX file, a Sql Script or what, it doesn't say in the message or give a link to it."

Since no one answered the question, and I'm still getting the error, I would like to know how to find and run the wizard.

 Thanks.

Michael, the url of the Web Installer Wizard is http://yoursite.com/installer/default.aspx.  You'll need to make sure the INSTALLER_ENABLED item is default.aspx is set to TRUE.  (Then change it back to FALSE after the install.)
