>I am using SharePoint (Version: 12.0.6318.5000). The version number is useful but more important info is whether this is WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007.

You problably dont add default masterpage rigth, and masterpage file dont existe, you can access /_layouts/settings.aspx, there you change the to default.master, or you can open sharepoint designer and open "_catalogs/masterpages" and define default.master as you default masterpage. See if this resolve the issue. Andr Lage Microsoft SharePoint and CRM Consultant http://aaclage.blogspot.com

Hi, I am using SharePoint (Version: 12.0.6318.5000). The scenario is like that; I have created a Site Collection and under that I have 2 sub sites and under each sub sites again I have a sub site (Site Collection [level 1]>>>SubSite+Lists [level 2]>>>SubSite+ Lists [level 3]>>>Lists, Doc. Library and Picture Library). I have modified a master page and given different name and used as custom and default master page throughout site collection. My master page is having some custom CSS and Image links (used $SPurl so that it should appear in all the sub sites). I have created Some Custom Pages using SharePoint Designer and saved at the same level of home page(default.aspx) of site collection and sub sites also Now I have used Solution generator to generate WSP (with the help of WSP Builder from Codeplex site) and created custom 3 different site definitions for each level. Our need was that, If we need to create any level we can easily create new sub site and all the custom pages, library will be available automatically This WSP has been verified and accepted by our client and they have deployed in test environment. Due to some reason they used it as the live site and now they have lots of data in it. Now my problem is if we take backup and restore it to the some other location using stsadm admin tool, all the navigations are showing 404 file not found error except setting pages (_layouts/pagesnames.aspx). Is any possible way of resolving this issue or any other alternatives of restoring data to other server with Custom Site Definition. Thanks in Advanced

Hi, I am using MOSS 2007 and version is (Version: 12.0.6318.5000).Whether my above problem is due to Site created based on Custom Site Definition. which we have deployed using WSP?I tryed Googling I found that microsoft has released some fixes in April, whether that will solve my problem?Regards Pawan

Hi, Does the SharePoint environment you are restoring to have the custom site definition installed? I ran into this when I tried moving a site that was created with a custom site definition from one farm to another. In order to get it to work, I had to install the custom site definition on the farm that I was restoring to first, and then restore the site collection.Hopefully that helps.Sincerely, Karl

Did you deploy the .wsp file on the environment where you want to restore your backup?You need to deploy the .wsp file before restoring the backup to the new environment.Mirjam --http://www.sharepointblogs.com/mirjam
