I get a 404 page not found error after I run a mount-spcontentdatabase command.
I have Production SharePoint 2010 farm with application server, Front end and application server installed on windows 2008 r2 and SQL Server 2008 r2. I need to move the Farm to a Windows Server 2012 Environment with SQL Server R2 environment.
Following are the steps I have taken
a) Install Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition on all the three servers i.e. FrontEnd Server , App server and Database server
b) Install SharePoint on App server and Front end Server with SharePoint 2010 sp2 with the following service accounts
i) sp_admin - for install
ii) Sp_farm to create and join the farm
ii) sp_web for the web application
c) Installed Cumulative updates on the app servers and front end server
d) Installed SQL server 2012 R2 on the database server
e) took a backup of the content sql server (2008) database and restored in the sql server 2012 database
f) created a web application on port 80 deleted the content database and did a mount-spcontentdatabase.
g) The mount power-shell script-let ran without any errors but i get a 404 page not found.
h) I did a dismount and mount-spcontentdatabase - same error
i) I did a stsadm - o deletecontentdb and and stsadm -o addcontentdb but same results.
j) I don't get any errors is the ulsviewer log files and there is no error in the event logs or the sql logs
Test-spcontentdatabase gave me some errors like missingsetupfile, missing site defintion . but also suggests that it is a non upgrade error equals false.
1) Is the move from SQL server 2008 to SQL server 2012 supported by Microsoft?.Is there any tech-net article for the same.
2) IS detach the database and reattach the database the correct method rather than sql backup and restore . 3) Is there any power-shell script to troubleshoot this issue
