went to extend web application now get error 500 when trying to browse sharepoint

Question

I extended my Web Application and now I can't browse to my SharePoint Site.

I restarted the server, even tried removing the sites from IIS but they keep returning.

In my IIS manager it shows up 3 new IIS sites:

sharepoint - 35600

sharepoint - 41652

sharepoint - external (the one I made)

How do I delete the Content Database for my SharePoint Site?

My SharePoint is a virtual machine so I can roll it back and have done so but whenever I press extend web application this happens.

Answer 1

Have you tried Un-Extending the Web Application?

This can be done by:

• Go to Central Admin > Manage Web Applications
• Select your Web Application
• Click the Delete drop-down menu and select Remove SharePoint From IIS Website
• Select which website you wish to remove (In your case it looks like it would be SharePoint External)
• Select Yes to Delete IIS Websites

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Try with Remove-SPContentDatabase. (if you do not know the GUID of the database use Get-SPContentDatabase)
