SYMPTOMS
When you try to create a new configuration database, you do not receive a warning message that describes the consequences of overwriting the existing database. Overwriting the existing configuration database can cause significant damage to your portal.



WORKAROUND
If you are trying to build a farm, connect to the database instead of creating a new one.
