WSS 2.0 -> WSS 3.0 installation Problem

Running this on SBS 2003 Premium SP2.
================
I am trying to install WSS 3.0 over WSS 2.0 as an upgrade, following the
instructions for SBS, but it fails while trying to create the configuration
database. The error is:
03/25/2008 13:49:35 8 INF debugMessage for task configdb is

Nothing of note in the Application log; any ideas on how to correct this?

Mike,
You shouldn't be getting those errors however

Well the instructions for SBS Tell you NOT to do an Upgrade of WSS 2.0 to
3.0
You need to do a side by side installation.

Business Server 2003

Are those the Instructions you are following?

Hi Mike,

I've done a few SharePoint upgrades on SBS boxes. Well, installs of WSS3.
You cannot upgrade the WSS2 on SBS because the monitoring and management
tools on SBS require WSS2. What you can do is install WSS3 next to WSS2, the
migrate the database. This works great each time. There should be plenty of
whitepapers on migrating from WSS2 to WSS3. Let me know if you need more
assistance.

Thanks,

Okay, I've uninstalled WSS 3.0, re-booted, did a repair on WSS2.0,
re-booted. Re-applied SQL 2000 SP4, rebooted, treied to re-install WSS 3.0
and get the same error, about step 9 or 10 of the Configuration Wizard
process.

Any ideas out there?
Mike

 

Got the answer on a Sharepoint Forum site. I needed to install WSS 3.0
w/SP1 as part of it. Installation went smooth once I had the right
executable.
