Recently I wanted to create a new web application in SharePoint and so I went to the Central Admin website to create one, but the option was missing. Even though I was logged in as the System Account, the farm administration account I couldn't see the link. If I navigated directly to /_admin/extendvs.aspx I got an access denied message and none of the accounts configured for SharePoint would allow me access. Use the link from Start Menu. As soon as I navigated from the start menu I realized that I was . using Windows Server 2008 and that Central Admin has to be run with administrator privileges. As soon as the browser opened the 'Create or Extend Web Application' link .

Create a custom Master page and Page Layouts and install it as a Sharepoint feature in the site collection. The steps for creating a feature (MOSS) is mentioned by Heater Solomon http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/articles/servermstpageforsitecollect_feature.aspx Problem Investigation: Upon applying my custom master page I got an unusal error File Not Found. I spent few hours identifying the problem and then realised that SPD (Sharepoint designer) changed the path inside the code Example Orginal Code Changed By SPD Lesson(s) Learnt: Do not open any files (Stored in file system) using Sharepoint Designer If the file is already stored in content database, then use Sharepoint designer to modify the code

Answer: There are several ways of how to rename Web Site. You can use stsadm -o renameweb command. More details are in MSDN article . But this command does't help you if you want to rename the site with the port. For example if you have http://server08:88/site and want to rename it to new name with the default port then the best way is to create the new site, and then use stsadm -o export/import to move the content between sites. Example The following example uses the following site: http://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name. To rename a URL using the newname parameter, use the following syntax: stsadm -o renameweb -url http://server_name/sites/site_name/subsite_name -newname NewWeb The URL of the subsite would become http://server_name/sites/...
