I've just taken delivery of a new 2003 server for using as a MCMS development
server. I've installed everything pretty much to the board as per the
installation document yet i've got a bit stuck..

The public section is set on port 8008 and the SCA is set on port 8080. The
SCA seems to work OK.

When trying to open the Site Manager from the start menu, i enter the name
of the server and the default port of 8080. It then asks me for a user name
so i enter a local Admin username and password and then i get the error
message:

"Could not connect to the Microsoft Content Management Server RSDEV:8080.
Either the web service is not running, or there are network problems that are
keeping you from connecting to the server, or the server is not accessible
through MCMS Site Manager."

I've removed the FrontPage 2002 extensions so as to get rid of any potential
issues caused by Sharepoint Services.

But still the issue remains.

Any pointers would be greatfully received, many thanks,

Hi,

you need to enter the configuration to a read-write MCMS website - not to
the SCA website.
With other word 8008 would be the right port.

Cheers,
Stefan
