Hi, I have and old content database which i restored in my sharepoint 2007. But whenver i try to access web sites in my sharepoint i get error : 500 Internal Server Error. I can see the old content database at :- Sharepoint Centre Admin->Application Management->Content databases. There is no difference in the version of the old content database. My current content database is working fine.Its just the old content database is not. What could be the reason? Thanks, Jude Aloysius.

Hi Jude, Whilst I have not come across this particular issue before, I would suggest checking a few items first: System / application event logs DB permissions in SQL (has the portal application pool account been assigned the DB_Owner role?) The MOSS ULS log Let me know how you get on. Benjamin Athawes

have a try to add the application pool account into administrators group?

"try to add the application pool account into administrators group?" and restart the iis. any feedback? i just want to exclude the permission issue.
