Monday I heard from one of our customer that their SharePoint site is not working and give an error like
"Server error: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=96177". That's all it says....
So I was googling to find some thing useful to overcome this and there were lots suggestions online too.
Most of the suggessions were asking to Run SharePoint Product And Technologies Upgreade and then after that things should be ok.....
But SharePoint Product And Technologies Wizard was stucking at step 9 and It was running more than a whole day, but I didn't stop it and let it to run. But finally found it is not going to stop and I stoped it.
Then fortunately found blog post asking to run following command...
stsadm –o upgrade –inplace –url Central_Administration_URL –forceupgrade
And this did the the trick for me..... it saved my days of time...... . Thanks for orginal Poster again.
