Central Administration is not working- Error File Not Found
August 23rd, 2008 — ¥ong¥s
Central Administration is not working. When I access central administration, I received the “File Not Found. Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services.” message after I entered my credentials.
Checked the IIS, and the Application Pools for Central Administration as well Central Administration were started. Everything looks fine. The content web site is working fine. Only the central administration is down.
From what I get from my colleague, in a lot of cases, the easiest way to resolve this issue is to reprovision CA. In other words, unprovision the CA using the config wizard or psconfig.exe and the reprovision it again using the same tools. (This is not the same as disconnect from the farm and if done correctly, will not affect the production of the regular sites).
* This issue happened on one of my colleague and thanks to Jukka who provide this solution.

Running the SharePoint Products and Configuration Wizard now because I had the same problem, lets see if it works.
No absolutely no effect, sorry
