TFS 2005: Error messages when creating a development instance

Question

I'm attempting to create a Dev instance of TFS 2005 (non SP1) with a view to test SP1. We're using dual server mode.

So far, I've installed TFS on my App machine, restored the db from prod on my database machine, and updated references in my db. Also ran the usual tfsadminutil commands.

When I open VS2005 and attempt to connect to TFS, I get this error:

Team Foundation Server scdctstmp01 does not exist or is not accessible at this time. Technical information (for administrator):   HTTP code 503: TF30059: Fatal error while initializing web service

The event log on my app machine gives 2 errors:

Anyone knows what the issue is? Thanks.

Answer 1

Found out that the database I was copying was SP1, while my test server was not.

To find TFS version: Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services\Services\bin Right click on Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Server.dll, Properties, Version File version 8.0.50727.762 = SP1. File version 8.0.50727.147 = RTM.
