Errors/Issues:
1. CabLib Compress ERROR: Could not flush cabinet: Could not create cabinet file [Happens after when u upgraded and deploying the web parts]
Solution: If you encounter this error when building a WSP it could mean that your files are read-only. Most source control tools mark files as read-only when a file is checked in. Either use the source controls tool to make the file writeable or right-click the file (or root folder) select Properties and uncheck Read-Only.
2. Content Database Attach Upgrade Fails
Solution: We cannot have same database content in two databases with different names.
Reason: Same Site It cannot be in two different places.
3. Creating a new web application fails and doesn't give confirmation message.
Solution: Happens when you are trying to create sites on the ports which u used earlier/deleted and application pools still exist for that port.
Delete unused application pools and if problem still persists restart the server (or) create on a new port.
