Install SharePoint

After you have installed all of the prerequisite software, you are ready to install SharePoint.

Use the same version of SharePoint

To move SharePoint, both the source computer and the destination computer must be running the same version and service pack of SharePoint. (UMove will warn you if they are not compatible.)

Install SharePoint

Install SharePoint using the normal Microsoft setup procedure.

Note: Do not select to install a “web farm” or “server farm” of SharePoint. This is because Active Directory does not support a clustered (web farm) installation of SharePoint 2003 or 2007.

Test SharePoint
Test SharePoint to verify that it is working: open Internet Explorer and view http://localhost/.

In rare cases you may receive an error message “The Windows SharePoint Services virtual server has not been configured for use with ASP.NET 2.0.xxxxx.” (KB894903) or the error message “Server Error in '/' Application.”

To fix this problem on WSS 2.0 open an administrative console and type:
  cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\bin
  stsadm -o upgrade -forceupgrade
  iisreset

To fix this problem on WSS 3.0 open an administrative console and type:
  cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin
  stsadm -o upgrade -forceupgrade -inplace
  iisreset

Next step: Move AD and the SharePoint database
