Server Error: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=96177

In order to protect MOSS 2007 using DPM 2007 SP1, a few updates/ hotfixes need to be applied on MOSS 2007 server. One of the hotfix is "Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 post-Service Pack 1 hotfix package: January 31, 2008 (KB941422)". You may get details on this Knowledge Base from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941422

After installing the update on MOSS 2007 server, you might experience that the MOSS web site is no more accessible but with a blank page and "Server error: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=96177" on it. After some troubleshooting and we solve the problem by running this command on the MOSS 2007 front-end web server:

stsadm –o upgrade –inplace [-url <http://mosswebsite URL>] forceupgrade

PSCONFIG.EXE -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force

IISRESET

This normally will happen even when you upgrade from WSS 3.0 to MOSS 2007 or install MOSS service pack 1 or Moss Service pack 2.

Show Currency with different locate in Sharepoint Data View Web Part

Suppose you’d like just a single DVWP to display numbers (either currency or regular numbers) in a different locale than the host site. This trick lets you do just that.

1. Open the page you need to customize with Sharepoint Designer. Switch to code view. Perform a search to find the tag xsl:decimal-format. Change the whole line with:

<xsl:decimal-format name="European" decimal-separator="," grouping-separator="." minus-sign="-" NaN="error" />

2. Now, locate your <xsl:value-of select=”@Total”/> and replace it as follows:
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(@Total, "€#.###,00;-€#.###,00", "European")"/>
