  • 0

The problem is I have full access to the server where the Sharepoint site is hosted etc, however all i’ve ever done is maintained the site. I didn’t set it up.

There is now an issue where Sharepoint can’t connect to the Config or Content databases. I don’t know which of our servers run these, so is there anyway I can find out, maybe from a config file or anything which server/database I need to check.

Other websites on the web server are still running fine, I know the database isn’t on that same server because i’ve checked.

Any ideas?
