Hi everyone,
Does anybody have encountered this issue before after their upgrade from BP 4.0 to BP 5.0 ? the SharePoint was not changed, still running on WSS 3.0. This BP site was perfectly working before. According to the MS upgrade doc, this is the most straightfoward and safe way to upgrade the BP to be compatible with GP 2010. We upgraded our GP2010 almost 2 years ago, but the BP was left running on the version 4.0 and had no issues so far. The problem was that we added new companies to our GP system and the BP doesn't see them, or rather can't work with them because the BP configuration wizard cannot be executed in that version of GP as back-end, thus the upgrade of the BP.
After the upgrade, most of the SharePoint stuff was loading fine, but when it comes to open the BP specific web-parts, the browser just returns an error 404 Page Not Found. The browsing of the BP is made over a secured SSL link/url. When altering the IIS security configuration to allow non-secured connections, and using the regular http:// over the port 82 (where the BP site is installed), the web-parts are opening just fine. So this seems clearly to be an issue with the IIS security config and the SSL. But nothing has been changed on this side, only the BP was uninstalled from the version 4.0 and the new BP 5.0 was setup by using the installation program. This shouldn't affect the IIS settings, but I suspect that some of the ASPX files that have been replaced by the setup are no longer recognized to be used with the SSL security protocol.
Can anybody shed a light on this ? I've looked everywhere on the net about SSL related issues with SharePoint, but none of them deal with Business Portal web-parts...
Thanks in advance for the help.
