Sharepoint 2007 Question

[bankajac]

I have had difficulty installing Sharepoint 2007 and 2003. It seems like everytime I install it, it does not work correctly. The problem is that IIS will not display the page. It keeps on asking me for the password. I enter the Administrator password and it asks me again for the password. I got it working a while back but I forgot what i did. Can someone tell me why this happens all the time and how to resolve it?

Much thanks.

Do you have anything else running on IIS (i.e. OWA)?

[bankajac]

As a matter of fact I do. It runs Exchange 2007 which has owa configured.

i assume you have installed everything correctly .net 3.0 etc?

[bankajac]

Yes I have .net 3.0 installed.

There is a know issue of running WSS and OWA on the same IIS server. I can't find the one link I had, but here is a start,

You receive a "Page not found" error message when you use Outlook Web Access (OWA) to browse the Exchange Server 2003 client after you install Windows SharePoint Services

Microsoft has received reports of an issue affecting Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access. The problem occurs when a user installs Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 on a computer running both Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003. The deployment causes Kerberos authentication to be disabled in Internet Information Services (IIS) and can result in incorrect handling of Outlook Web Access requests to a server running Exchange.

I am using Exchange 2007 and Sharepoint 3.0. I think that only applies to 2003. I can access OWA fine but cannot access the Sharepoint site as the password gets rejected.

does sharepoint 2007 can access to a database managed by MYSQL?

Did you bother to even look at the link I posted?

Are you using Kerberos or NTLM authentication?

In WSS Central Admin, what have you set as the authenticating server?

On the main site, have you at least added domain users to site visitors?

[bankajac]

Yes I looked at the link and in Q&A 3 it says that the only affected version is Outlook Web Access in Exchange Server 2003. Also I read the article as trying to resolve issue with OWA not Sharepoint. The links seem to talk about not being able to access OWA which is not the issue that I am having. I can accesss OWA with no problems. The password is requested and denied when I try to access the Sharepoint site.
