How to setup the site collection

Assumptions:

You are logged onto a server running MOSS with administration privileges and you have access to Central Administration.
You know how to provision a SharePoint site using Central Administration
You know how to use the STSADM command line utility

Steps to setup the APACDEMO site

Open up Central Administration and provision a site from the “Application Management” tab by choosing “Create or Extend Web Application”. You need to create a new “Web Application”.
Once you have set up the “Web application” create a “Site Collection” by going to “SharePoint Site Management” in “Application Management”.
Choose “Create Site Collection” and select “Publishing Site” template.
Create a site collection and give it a name and a URL. You’ll need to note down the URL for restoring the backup using the STSADM command.
Check that you can access the site collection you created. Open up a CMD prompt and change the Directory location to: “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN”
Restore the site backup from the location you saved the.bak file.
```
stsadm -o restore -url http://apacdemosite -overwrite -filename C:\WSSBackups\APACDEMO.bak
```
Replace http://apacdemosite with your site’s URL. Replace C:\WSSBackups\APACDEMO.bak with the location of where you saved the downloaded backup file.
Go back to Central Administration when the restore is completed as you will need to add yourself as a site collection administrator to the new site collection after the restore.
Go to “Application Management ” and select “Site collection administrators” from “SharePoint Site Management”.
You will need to select the web application and click OK if the site collection is not pre selected.
Then add the Primary and Secondary site collection administrators.
