    Unable to connect to the database STS_Config

    I am getting some kind of an error message on an SBS 2003 Server. I am able to connect to the internal website, but I am not sure if it is causing any issues, it is just apparent. How can I solve this issue or stop it once and for all? Thanks

    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 2.0
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 1000
    Date: 04/03/2008

    User: N/A
    Computer: SERVER01
    Description:

    RE: Unable to connect to the database STS_Config

    The error that you are getting might be happening when the SharePoint Timer Service tries to contact the configuration database when the computer starts or shuts down. By default, the configuration database in Windows SharePoint Services is named STS_config. So, to solve this problem, follow the steps given on this website - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/840685
