Sharepoint Services Web Application "Status Upgrading"

Molesworth

Hi all,

I upgraded from Sharepoint 2003 to Sharepoint 2007 - it all went through OK, but when I look at the Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration, it shows under "Assign Services" that the web application is "required on farm, not running" with a status of "Upgrading".

I have tried all of the fixes that I can find; they all seem to end up the same way, reporting that they cannot continue as "an upgrade is in progress". Also re-started, re-assigned server etc - none of this makes any difference. All of the advice in the manuals seem to suggest that I should be able to re-start the service by clicking on the link, but the page doesn't actually provide that function.

Most of the 2003 sites are running OK, and some of the admin is also OK; however, there are some pages that won't display, presumably because of the status of the web application.

Has anybody had this problem before I've searched the forum and found nothing.

Appreciate any feedback.

I am also having this issue. I just installed all of this and its been like this since install. I am surprised we are the only ones having this issue.

Thanks in advance!

run

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN>psconfig -cmd upgrade -force

You might need to rerun the hotfix and rerun the upgrade. If it was applied maybe uninstall reboot and reinstall.

I had wto front-end installed so after doing the fisrt step could i run the wizard to remove the server and rejoin it to the farm and apply the patch again.

Hope this helps
