After installing Sharepoint Portal Services I am no longer able to see my
website. When I try I get Required permissions cannot be acquired. I have
tried to put the Trust key in the web.config but that made things worse as
the SPS Website became the dominant website and reported an error trying to
connect to the database. Can you assist?

Now I'm digging deep here, and you would get a better response from the
sharepoint forums.

When you install SPS it takes control of your webserver, and it is now the
root web server and quite literally intercepts all requests. As far as it
is concerned your website doesn't exist. Somewhere in the config settings
of the admin portion of the SPS website there is an exclude option where you
can list your application and tell it to ignore it, effectively bypassing
the SPS control mechanism.

Sorry I cant be clearer, I dont have an SPS install near me!
