Subject: Bad site URL name

It looks like one of our site owners changed the web site address to whatever
it was plus .aspx.  This has rendered the site unusable.

Here's where I believe the change was made:
Site Settings > Title, Description, Icon
Web Site Address (change it to something .aspx)

How can we change it back?

Thanks!

Subject: RE: Bad site URL name

Here's the fix.  The code was developed by MSFT support (as-is, no warranties).

Put the full bad URL in the first box:  http://sharepoint/apps/badsiteurl.aspx
Put the good relative URL in the second box:/apps/goodsiteurl

The code below is part of a Visual Studio solution which I can't attach.  
Here's the meat of the code to get the gist of how the fix works:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;

namespace UpdateServerRelativeURL
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            SPSite mySite = new SPSite(textBox1.Text);
            SPWeb oWeb = mySite.OpenWeb();            
            oWeb.ServerRelativeUrl = textBox2.Text;
            oWeb.Update();
            MessageBox.Show("URL of the site " + textBox1.Text + " updated
!!!! ");
        }
    }

Subject: RE: Bad site URL name

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

The root cause of this issue is that the URL of the sub site is not in a
valid format after you change the web site address, so the site is not
rendering.
The resolution is to rename the sub site to a valid name by using the
following command:
Stsadm -o renameweb -url your unvaild url -newname a valid name.

For more information about Renameweb operation, please refer to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263508.aspx

Hope the information can help you.

Best Regards,
Xuemei Chang

xuemei,

I used the code from MSFT posted prior to your post to rename the subsite
back but now the subsite is not getting indexed by the search engine.  Is
there anything that can be done about this?

Thanks!

xuemei,

The solution you posted is much better than the one than the one I posted
earlier.  I was wondering how much time did it take to arrive at your
solution?

Thanks!
