"View All Site Content" empty after database upgrade from WSS 2.0 to 3.0

    "View All Site Content" empty after database upgrade from WSS 2.0 to 3.0

    All the content is there (page links and webparts are working), but the "View all Site Content" link returns a page with no content listed.

    I backed up the existing 2.0 content database, recreated the database on the new server, used stsadm to add the the content database to the WSS 3.0 site on the new server, and then performed a "reset to site definition" on the entire site collection.  Everything appears fine except that View All Site Content doesn't list any of the existing libraries and lists.  I have full control and can access all the content through other paths so this shouldn't be the result of security trimming.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!   The users can't maintain content on the new site without the use of View All Site Content.

    Thanks!

    Hi JoyceMR,

     

    I'm experiencing similar behavior.

    Have you been able to resolve this issue? If so, could you please share the solution?

     

    Thanks,

    I had been tinkering with the site settings of my WSS 3.0 site and suddenly found myself with the following problems:

    1. An empty 'All Site Content' page, even though all the content was still in the site and I had Full Control.
    2. When I tried to create new lists, all the list & library features had vanished and I only had the option to create simple items like basic web pages.

    Solution: Go to Site Settings >  Site Features. Check the status of 'Team Collaboration Lists'. If it's deactivated, there's your problem. Activate it and the content will be visible again.

    Hope this helps someone else!
