Hi, I am trying to run an in-place upgrade in from WSS 2.0 to 3.0. WSS was upgraded successfully. I have created a website as well.. i was trying to add the content database, it is taking more time to process. Its getting struck at this step. It was struck for more than 1.5hrs. Please help me. I am in a big trouble if i dont complete this today. After this log event, there are no steps taken for more than 1.5hrs. [SPManager] [DEBUG] [10/30/2010 5:39:37 PM]: [SPContentDatabase Name=<contentdatabsename> Parent=SPDatabaseServiceInstance] Running 1 of 88 steps [UpgradeForIssueTracker] [3.0.52.0] [DEBUG] [10/30/2010 5:39:37 PM]: Begin Initialize() [UpgradeForIssueTracker] [3.0.52.0] [DEBUG] [10/30/2010 5:39:37 PM]: End Initialize() [UpgradeForIssueTracker] [3.0.52.0] [INFO] [10/30/2010 5:39:37 PM]: Issue tracker use V3 versions feature.

Did the upgrade ever complete?I trust that answers your question... Thanks C http://www.cjvandyk.com/blog

Yes, finally after 4hrs it gave the error saying trasaction log is full. Later i incresed the trans log for the databsae. Now, i am getting 'Object reference not set to an instance..' error. Well, since nothing was working, i had to wipe the wss 3.0 and rebuild the site again. I am anyways in touch with Microsoft PFE. Will let post the answer if they give me any soln for this.

Hi, Thanks to share your post. From my point of view, the case may be that you didn’t create a main portal site through the SharePoint Server. You’d better create a main portal site.
