When creating a new web application, you may experience this error:
The directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 is already being used by another IIS Web Site. Choose a different root directory for your new Web application.
Solution:
1. Ensure you have a proper dns name / entry in the hosts file of your server for the new url you are wanting to create.
2. Ensure you have typed in the ‘host header’ typed in when creating the new web application.
3. If this doesnt work, open IIS Manager – Start>run> inetmgr> and verify the home directory – it could be located on a different drive.

You may sometimes see this error when creating a new page in a SharePoint MOSS 2007 publishing portal.
“Content type ‘0×01010007FF3E057FA8AB4AA42FCB67B453FFC100E214EEE741181F4E9F7ACC43278EE811′ not found in web ‘http://yoururl’
Two step solution:
1. Go to Central Admin, Application Management, User Permissions for Web Application.
Ensure “Use Client Integration Features” and “Use Remote Interfaces” are enabled.
2. Go to Central Admin, Application Management, Policy for Web Application.
Add your user account with Full Control and Finish!
You may have to do an IISRESET and you should be able to create new pages.

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 – features, system requirements
Jun 11th
Microsoft will ship the new SharePoint 2010 along with Office 2010 in the first half of next year (Beta – late 2009).
There has been a few questions about the name of SharePoint 2010.
Basically, we presently have three SharePoint server versions:
1. Windows SharePoint Services
2. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Standard
3. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise
From now onwards it will be just Microsoft SharePoint 2010 (without the “office”).

SharePoint installed without Active Directory
Apr 24th
When installing SharePoint from the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, you may ask, ‘what do I do if I want to connect SharePoint using SQL authentication, rather than Microsoft’s Active Directory?’
You may want to connect SharePoint to its configuration database using a locked down SQL user account to isolate your front end website from Active Directory.
Using the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, it may appear to be impossible to get past the DOMAIN\User_Name as required in the wizard.
