Hi all, get a problem with my sharepoint 3.0, it kept showing "Cannot
connect to the configuration database" when launch via browser.

followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823287 double checked with SQL
database, IIS and application pool, IIS is running, SQL is up, don't really
know weather the pool is right, but it was working fine before the windows
update.

Background: Windows SBS server, Sharepoint 3.0, was being setup before,
everything was fine, we have data on it.

server was down last weekend for unknown reason, was checking on that, find
out that might be damnware related back to a year ago, was being installed
then removed, google search saying they might be related.

check on windows update, run it but it was running sharepoint service pack
one update and it takes a long time seems stuck in there, terminate it then
reboot the server, both sharepoint and CRM services was showing down under
IIS, manually start them, CRM is working but not sharepoint, "Cannot connect
to the configuration database" is shown.

Research on that, can't get that fixed, haven't do any changes yet, guess it
is still SQL related.
