Hi there we have one of the offices which they reinstalled SharePoint 2003 on the same server. at the begining they had issue running the config wizard and to solve it they had to create a new database. now when they overcome this, when they run the home page they get the following error Configuration Error Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'type'.

HI, You need to remove these entries . Refer this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827929 I hope this will help you out.Thanks, Rahul Rashu

Hi Rashu do you mean we need to delete the following lines (13-17) from the web.config files? thanks again Regards,

Does the same server box also has Exchange Server? I would suggest you to comment line # 13 and check the result. If this doesn't work, comment line #13 and #14 and check... and so on... PS: Make backup of original file, before making any changes.Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi there we tried this but its still not working. any other advice? Regards,

Hi, From the error message, it may be caused by that site was configured to use the wrong version of the Asp.net scripting maps. Sharepoint Server 2003 must use ASP.NET 1.1, for more information, please refer to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907763 I’m sorry that I have no server for SharePoint server 2003, if steps below has any differences, please feel free to let me know. Please open IIS Manager, go to Properties for the Central Admin Web application, click Home Directory Tab, under Wildcard application maps, check whether it is set to v1.1.x\aspnet_iisapi.dll. If it is set to v2.0.x or later version, change it to v1.1.x ( locate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.1.x, run command aspnet_regiis –r, run comman aspnet_regiis –i, run Product and Technologies Wizard) and do iisreset. Thanks, Qiao Wei
