In trying to create a team site for a department called …/Commercial/Content, I use short names (e.g. …/CML/CON). Apparently CON is some kind of a system no-no. I have not searched on this problem, so there may be information posted out there on this issue somewhere:
When creating a site in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, the URL cannot be …./con
The system allowed me to do it, and it created the site, but the page was 100% blank.
Microsoft, how about popping up an error or something when an illegal system name is used, rather than allowing the site to be created?
Wow, thank you! I had no idea what was wrong when i tried to create a sub site “/departments/con”. I had restarted iis, deleted and recreated the site, been on it for hours. Thank god i found this. Thanks!!!!!
