Can't Install Primary Site
- Thread starter JEngles
- Start date
I have written a walk through guide to installing the lot. If you want to start over, you are more than welcome to a copy.
BTW, is your SQL Server a seperate machine to your intended Site Server?
Hope this Helps.

Look at my profile and contact me. Im on-site at the minute, and no access to my email acocunt, so will send you the guide this evening.

Errr.... i just noticed you are using SQL 2005. I have never used 2005, or even isntalled it. But I have heard of issues. Are you using a complete integrated install of SMS SP2, or are you isntalling SMS 2003, then upgrading to SP2? SP2 is the first update that "supports" SQL 2005, however, I wouldn't advice using it, I cant remember the issues, but just know there have been problems cause SP2 was designed when the 2005 BETA (Yukon) was being released, and hasn't been updated for the final 2005 server. I would use SQL 2000 SP3a. SMS 2003 R2 due in two weeks for public release should support, in the real sense that it works properly, with SQL 2005, but untill then, I would just use the SQL 2000.
When you say "it doesn't seem to be picking up that SQL 2005 is installed?", what, where, when, how? Specify the details of that error, and get back to me.
Hope this Helps.
