The event log says: SQL Database 'WSS_Content' on SQL Server instance 'server\instance' not found. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. Cannot open database "WSS_Content" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'AD\project2007admin'. (AD\project2007admin exists and it's working good. I can access the databases tables logged in with it through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio) ANY CLUE?
