Our client attached a database from SP 2013 testing environment to SP 2013 Production env. Now they are getting the error: http 400 bad request.

I have never done this before, so I was wondering if there are any tips as to what might be causing this, or where can I start to look for the issue?

I have checked the IIS, the sites and the pools are running fine. I have restarted them by the way. And I have checked the ULS logs and I see nothing there related to http 400 bad request.

Any ideas?

  • at the moment not so many, around 15. I just tried to dismount it, but I got Dismount-SPContentDatabase : The DELETE permission was denied on the object 'SiteCounts', database 'SharePoint_Config', schema 'dbo'. I asked the client to do it since I don't have the right permissions.
