You cannot access a portal area after you create a document library, or you cannot access a document library after you create a portal area in SharePoint Portal Server 2003
You may experience one or both of the following systems in
SharePoint Portal Server 2003:
- When you create a new portal area in the portal site, and
then you create a new backward-compatible document library, you can no longer
access the portal area. For example, when you locate
http://ServerName/MyPortalArea,
the document library page is displayed in your Web browser window.
- When you create a new backward-compatible document library,
and then you create a portal area in the portal site you can no longer access
the document library. For example, when you locate
http://ServerName/MyDocumentLibrary,
the portal area page is displayed in your Web browser window.
This problem may occur if both of the following conditions
are true:
- The client components for backward-compatible document
libraries are installed on the server.
- The name of the document library uses the same name as the
portal area.
When you create a backwards-compatible document library that
uses the same name as an existing portal area or when you create a new portal
area that uses the same name as an existing document library, SharePoint Portal
Server does not notify you that an existing portal area or a document library
(as appropriate) uses the same name. The document library and the portal area
both have the same URL, and you can no longer access the portal area or
document library (as appropriate) in SharePoint Portal Server, even though the
portal area or the document library (as appropriate) still exists on the
server.
To work around this problem, use different names for the
portal areas and the document libraries that you create on the
server.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
