Restoring site errors

Hi Folks,
I had my sharepoint server crash on me. I had nightly jobs set up to create a .bak file of our wiki site collection. I have restored from them in the past without any issues (on the same server), but when i go to restore it to our new sharepoint server i
am getting the following error using both the stsadm tool and the Restore-SPSite powershell command. Here is the error:
<nativehr>0x80070002</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>There is no Web named "/main".
My old site collection was running from http://server:8080/main. I'm trying to restore to the new server (which has the same server name as the old) as http://server:8080. I've created a new 'Managed Path' called main but it still doesn't want to work. 
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Colin Stewart

Which tool did you use to create the backup of the site? The error suggests you exported a site and that it's not a site collection backup.

  • Backing up and restoring site definitions

    Losing your site definitions in Dreamweaver can be a disaster, but it does happen sometimes. The best way to prepare for such an eventuality is to back up your site definitions on a regular basis.
    Creating a backup
    You can back up all your site definitions in a single operation by selecting Site > Manage Sites. In the dialog box that opens, Shift-click to select all site names, and then click Export.
    In Dreamweaver CS6, the Manage Sites dialog box looks like this:
    In earlier versions of Dreamweaver, it looks like this:
    Dreamweaver asks if you want to include passwords and login details (this is the default option). Whichever option you choose will be applied to all sites, so click Cancel if you want to treat some sites separately, and export your sites in two sets by using Ctrl/Cmd-click to select them.
    When you click OK, Dreamweaver asks where you want to export the definitions. Navigate to a suitable location, leave the File name field unchanged, and click Save. Although only one site name is listed in the File name field, Dreamweaver exports all the site definitions as .ste files in a single operation.
    NOTE: This process backs up only the details of your sites, such as the location of the root folder, FTP details, and so on. It does not back up the actual files in your site, such as .html (or .php, .asp, .cfm) files, images, and style sheets. It's a good idea to use your normal file backup routine on your actual files from time to time, as well as exporting the site definitions.
    Restoring site definitions
    In the event of losing your site definitions in Dreamweaver or moving to a new computer, open the Manage Sites dialog box, and use the Import button to navigate to your backup .ste files.
    What if I don't have a backup?
    Often, if you don't have a backup of .ste files, you need to go through the whole process of re-entering the details for each site manually.
    However, you might be able to restore them by using a restore point on Windows or Time Machine in Mac OS X.
    On Windows, the site definitions for Dreamweaver CS6 are stored in the Windows Registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common\12.0\Sites.
    In Mac OS X, they are at Macintosh HD:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Common:12.0:Sites:Site Prefs.
    In recent versions of Mac OS X, the Library folder is hidden. In the Mac Finder, select Go > Go to Folder, type ~/Library in the search field, and click Go.
    Dreamweaver CS5.5 site definitions are in the same location, except use 11.5 instead of 12.0. The numbers for CS4 and CS3 are 10 and 9 (without a decimal fraction) respectively. For earlier versions of Dreamweaver, substitute Macromedia for Adobe, and adjust the number accordingly.
    If you don't have a backup of the actual files on your site, download the files from your remote server.

    Hello,
    We are running iPlanet 5.2 Messaging Server and need
    to migrate to another (duplicate) 5.2 Messaging
    Server. We have all the software installed and the
    LDAP user accounts created. Now we just need to move
    the existing mail from one server to the other.
    I found the Backing Up and Restoring the Message
    Store section in the Admin Guide says to back up and
    restore your data, Messaging Server provides the
    imsbackup and imsrestore utilities.
    However I am wondering about the Queue?
    Under <instance>/imta/queue
    What is the difference between the Message Store
    and the Queue? The Message Store is where messages get delivered to, so you can read them.'
    The queue is where messages are temporarily stored, pending delivery to wherever they go.
    You can use tar, cpio, or what have you for the queue. Stop the server first. . .
    You then just restore the files to the new server. No need to restart or anything like that. Just dump the files in, and run
    imsimta cache -sync
    to tell the MTA to re-read the queue.
    Can I just backup and restore the
    Queue using tar or cpio?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Regards,
    Tim

  • Unable to open Power BI Sites - Error: We were unable to load the Site. Refresh the page to try again

    Power BI Sites Error
    We were unable to load the Site. Refresh the page to try again
    When opening Power BI Sites with internet explorer, in certain security configurations you may run into the above error. While we are looking into resolving this, please see the following workaround:
    From the Tools menu, select internet options.
    On the security tab uncheck the "Enable Protected Mode" checkbox form the relevant Zone (Intranet/Internet)
    Remove all entries to *.powerbi.com from trusted sites or/and local intranet sites
    On the advanced tab, uncheck the "Enable enhanced protected mode" (if you made a change here it will require a restart of the machine)
    Restart and try again (if not changes done in the last step, just restart the browser)

    Hi
    Any further debugging tips? I upgraded from IE9 to IE11 on my Win7 machine to try get Q&A working, it broke the entire PowerBI site for me

  • Unknown site error while deploying web services using OC4J

    Hi,
    I have been testing the deploying webservices examples using demo.zip on OTN site.
    I have trouble in binding the web application name to stand alone OC4J.
    I am running stand alone OC4J server fine. I verified the website http://localhost:8888, which is running fine.
    If I issue the command
    java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:23791 admin password1 -bindwebapp demo_ejb_web_service HelloService_web http://localhost:8888/ sejb_webservices
    I get error
    oracle.oc4j.admin.internal.DeployerException: Unknown site: http://localhost:8888/
    What is the http-web-site address that needs to be given for binding web app, if I am running local standalone OC4J with no default port changes?
    Thanks,
    Mohan

    Eric,
    Thanks for the response. But, still I am not able to bind web-application to OC4J.
    Here is how my server.xml has defined the web-site tag:
    <web-site default="true" path="./http-web-site.xml" />
    My http-web-site.xml has following web-site tag:
    <web-site port="8888" display-name="OC4J 10g (10.0.2) HTTP Web Site">
    <default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp"/>
    <web-app application="default" name="dms0" root="/dms0" access-log="false" />
    <web-app application="default" name="dms0" root="/dmsoc4j" access-log="false" />
    <web-app application="default" name="admin_web" root="/adminoc4j"/>
    <access-log path="../log/http-web-access.log"/>
    </web-site>
    I used the following command to bind the example web service:
    java -jar c:\XtendTools\oc4j\j2ee\home\admin.jar ormi://localhost admin password1 -bindWebApp demo_ejb_service HelloService_web default-web-site /sejb_services
    I get "oracle.oc4j.admin.internal.DeployerException: Unknown site: default-web-site" error.
    I tried to use following names as http-web-site, but nothing works.
    "http://localhost:8888"
    "dms0"
    "adminoc4j"
    I downloaded stand alone OC4J 10.1.2 from OTN and tried these samples.
    Your help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mohan

  • The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site error?

    I am looking for some help folks. We are in a Outlook 2007/Exchange2010/Windows2008R2 environment.
    When users open Outlook off the network, and occasionally on the network, they get the error
    The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site error
    The CAS hostname is HRECAS.XXX.ORG. The URL that is listed on the SSL certificate (issued by VeriSign) is WEB.XXX.ORG. WEB.XXX.ORG is what users use to get to OWA and such.
    When I use testexchangeconnectivity.com, under certificate name validation I see an error that reads:
    Host name autodiscover.xxx.org doesn't match any name found on the server certificate CN=web.xxx.org.
    Does this mean somehow we have to add autodiscover.xxx.org on the certificate?
    I tried to add AutoDiscoverExternalUri using
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=940726 &
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/2d0c0f5f-e4ec-4f33-a37d-b94fd7a2319f on the CAS server.
    Set-ClientAccessServer -identity HRECAS -AutodiscoverServiceExternalUri
     https://autodiscover.xxx.org/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml 
    I get an error that says
    "a positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-AutoDiscoverExternalUri'.
    Can someone point to me what I am doing wrong with the command and whether I should be concerning myself with adding that line? By the way the
    InternalUrl information is already configured on the system. Also should I edit the certificate to add autodiscover.xxx.org?
    Thank in advance for your support.

    Hi Tapera,
    Thanks for the question.
    SRV record is a good idea. You can set the SRV to
    https://web.abc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml but you must make sure the
    url can be resolved from External clients.
    In addition, there is still a issue. It is hard coded that Outlook will find the autodiscover by the orders below:
    1. Access autodiscover via SCP in AD.
    https://web.abc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
    2. If SCP access fails, it will try:
    https://abc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
    3. Then
    https://autodiscover.abc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
    4. Local XML file
    5. SRV record
    As you can see, Outlook will try SRV record at last. Therefore, it will still try to access
    https://autodiscover.abc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml each time you run Outlook. Then the certificate warning will still persists.
    I have a workaround solution. You can do a local policy to disable the autodiscover to access the
    https://autodiscover.abc.ocom/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml by:
    1.   
    On the Outlook client machine, open regedit and add the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Autodiscover
             "ExcludeHttpsAutodiscoverDomain"
             "ExcludeHttpsRootDomain"
    2.   
    Then set the value to “1” on the above two keys.
    Thanks,

  • HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e

    I bought a nice Solid State drive.  Unfortunately it is not possible to upgrade my system to new hard drive.  It fails every time with HP recovery could not restore computer error code 0xe0ef000e.  This is after removing everything...  graphics card, ram, cd drive...  nothing is plugged in except the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
    Windows 8 strikes again.  Does anyone have any suggestions about how to actually use the recovery disks to reinstall windows 8 onto a new solid state drive.  I hate this computer and wish I would have never bought it actually.  It's been nothing but crap from day one.

    It's the HP 500-023w desktop.  I ended up just buying a Winodws 8.1 OEM disk and installing that on the SSD.  The recovery tool is a bit useless.  Reading through various forum posts it seems I would have ended up spending hours trying to figure it out or else buying the recovery disks from HP.  Just paying $89 for an OEM disk is a good deal by comparison since at the very least the computer has no bloatware on it now.
    What a hugely unnecessary hassle really.  Now if only I could get this heap of junk to boot with a PCI-e graphics card installed I might actually be able to use it with two monitors.  Good grief.

  • Apple Confirms BRICKED iPhone(s) [Restore Mode Error]

    Well this is the end of the problem I had from yesterday if some of you were around yesterday you might have seen my posts about taking the 2.1 update causing a RESTORE MODE error on my phone.
    APPLE employee 'COLIN' and his manager which WILL REMAIN nameless confirmed when i brought my phone in that yes this infact does happen to multiple people. infact it happened to the manager himself of this washington apple store.
    In conclusion If you have an error that causes your phone to be in a restore state and black screens on bootup with a iTunes symbol and USB cable, making sure ALL iTunes software should be properly updated fully before trying to reset to factory settings.
    This problem was resolved and was just letting everyone know if this error occurrs to you it's fixable by apple or yourself with iTunes. Thank you all for you help, and tips it made this proccess alot smoother.
    -J.G.

    This happens to me whenever I do an update or restore. I just move the USB cable to another port until I get one that works.

    in the new tab page, how do you restore sites you've deleted.

    You can only edit the content of the chromeappsstore.sqlite file with an SQLIte manager like this Firefox extension:
    * SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
    # open Profile Directory -> chromeappsstore.sqlite -> Go
    # open Table > webappsstore2
    # select the "Browse & Search" tab to see all entries in that table
    You can select the "batwen.:about" "blockedLinks" line and click the Delete button on the toolbar to remove that record and reset the deleted sites.
