    - cannot upload files larger than 50MB I'm getting an error message: "The form submission cannot be processed because it exceeded the maximum length allowed by the Web administrator. Please resubmit the form with less data". I found a solution in the article ID: 822059 and increased the size of the allowed size of uploadable files in 2 web.config files: c:\inetpub\wwwroot c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\60\config and I still can't upload files over 50MB in size. There are 7 more web.config files on the server running SPS but I only changed that size in the 2 mentioned files since <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200" /> was only in these two files. What's the next step to make uploads of 50MB+ happen? Thank you. Tag: site definition Tag: 73044

    - Server2k3, IIS, SPS Installation broken. I am having some serious trouble getting new Sharepoint Portal Server installation working. I found a MS help and support site (not realizing it was MS Indonesia) and they started helping me until they realized I was not in their system and needed to buy support. Here's the deal. I recently upgraded to Windows Server 2003 Standard from 2k Standard. I had IIS 6 already on the system, but had disabled it because I needed an apache server to run on here. Well, now I've re-enabled the IIS and installed SPS which during install did not give me an option to choose to use a database type or not..it was just grayed out and not selectable. I have installed SQL Server 2000 SP3 and figured that this is why it didn't give me the option.. Anyway, at the end of the installation where it said it was done successfully, it said it was taking me to a page to configure some kind of database connectivity. Well when the page loaded it came up with a dns error. I checked IIS and that particular site was not running. I started it and it said "Parameter is incorrect" and did not start the site. So when I checked the Home Directory page of the site's settings the Application pool which was selected was like "invalid pool" or something. I went ahead and changed that app pool to MSSharePointPortalAppPool or whatever it is, and then started and it was running at that point. When I tried to go to the page though, it would give me a login for which none of my usual login names or passwords would work. Finally it tells me that "You do not have permission to view this page." The login screen that comes up is not in a web page ...its a popup window. So after discussing this with Nick Huang of Microsoft Indonesia, he had pointed out the following: --- [Nick] The option chosen should be "install WITHOUT database engine". Reason why one option is grayed out is that the server is also a Domain controller (DC) as you mentioned in 1. The database engine here means MSDE which cannot be installed on a DC. [Nick] In the case that the prompt is presented in a popup dialog box, the problem is likely in IIS - authentication part. [Nick] There are some behaviors not right as I observed. 1. SPS2003 installation should create two application pool, MSSharePointPortalAppPool (for use of Portal sites), and CentralAdminAppPool (for use of SharePoint Central Administration web site). On your side, after installation completes and configuration starts, the SharePoint Central Administration site should be given CentralAdminAppPool, but it was given Invalid Pool. 2. Youâ??re being prompted to enter username / password when you enter SharePoint Central Administration. The expected result is that we should get a page in which weâ??re asked username / password. The username / password are used by SPS to connect the underlying database (to create configuration database). As long as we enter a username / password that has permission to SQL, we should be able to get through. --- If I understand correctly...in order to use Active Directory and have a domain with DHCP and RIS installed, you need to use a Domain Controller...so this is what I had previously set up on the 2K OS, which then carried over in the upgrade to 2k3. I need to have RIS, so what can I do? Is there a way to get SPS working on a Domain Controller? Sincerely, Technically twisted in Twisp. Tag: site definition Tag: 73017

    - Problems in getting RSS web part access through the proxy Hi Sharepoint 2004 ISA 2004 I have a problem where I have an RSS news feed Web Part on my SharePoint Portal, but I can't get it to pass a request to the Proxy server, resulting in the Web Part failing to access the Internet to pull down the RSS news feeds. How can I ensure that SharePoint knows how to access my proxy? I have set up proxy settings in web.config and reset the ISA server, but I still have the problem. Any help on this would be much appreciated, I have search through the web but can't seem to find the answer to my problem. Thanks Rob Tag: site definition Tag: 73013

    - Programmatic access to SPS2003 document management functionality Hi, Some time ago we wrote an adapter to SharePoint 2001 so that we could use it as a document management system (DMS) in various of our applications. This adapter made extensive use of the SharePoint 2001 client components to do things like versioning and checkin/checkout. Unless I've missed something, the client-side components for SharePoint 2003 are quite limited in what they can do - not supporting check in and check out, for example. The solution currently appears to be to write web services on the SharePoint portal server itself and then consume these on the client side - but has anyone else come across this problem and been able to solve it in a quicker way? Thanks. Tag: site definition Tag: 73012

    - De-installation fails I installed SharePoint Portal Server. When I tried to open the adminitration Web pages I received an error from the IIS. Looking at the IIS Admin Console I saw that the SharePoint Website was not running. Trying to start it I received the error message "Parameter is incorrect". Following the recommendations at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver/browse_thread/thread/9c3f21e0b4b3280d/8f51c6808e55231f?lnk=st&q=sharepoint+%22parameter+is+incorrect%22&rnum=4&hl=de#8f51c6808e55231f I tried to de-install SharePoint Portal Server. Just before the progress bar reaches the end I get an error and the progress bar moves back to its origin. I have created a local user that is in the Power Users group. During installation I have entered that user name and password as requested but without prepending the server name (i.e., SPSUser instead of SPSServer\SPSUser). The newsgroup entry mentioned above indicates that the account name must be complete. How do I get rid of SharePoint to re-install it or how can I change the user information without re-installation? Thank you in advance Daniel Tag: site definition Tag: 73010

    - Moving template directories on existing pages Hi All, I've inherited a Sharepoint implementation and the previous owner didn't copy the templates directories and all pages use the default template (or are un-ghosted which I'm also trying to remedy). The default templates have also had a large degree of customisation which is why we'd like to move them as this would prevent future releases over writing our changes etc. I am aware I'm in the realms of "don't go near the database you'll be un-supported", but was wondering if anyone else had tried this and got it working ( I have managed on our development environment ), was just wondering if you spotted any issues at a later date due to this "patch" :) Also keen on any feedback out there. Here are the steps I took. 1. For each portal SITE database I performed a SELECT DISTINCT SetUpPath FROM Docs 2. For each template listed above ensured that I'd copied the required directories to: SPSMSITE -> /Templates/<%LCID%>/SPS-OURSITENAME-MSITE SPSPERS -> /Templates/<%LCID%>/SPS-OURSITENAME-PERS Etc 3. Added the new WEBTEMPSPS-OURSITE.XML to the /Templates/<%LCID%>/XML directory 4. Commented out the original templates from the WEBTEMPSPS.XML file to prevent any users creating new sites etc with default install templates 5. Ran the following update script against the site database to point existing pages to the newly created templates UPDATE Docs SET SetUpPath = Replace(SetUpPath, '<%LCID%>/SPS', '<%LCID%>/SPS-OUTSITENAME') I've had a quick look to see if there is a programmatic way to do the udpate and stay fully supported but couldn;t see anything, if anyone knows if this is possible please let me know. I fully understand the database update won't be supported, but on the other hand you only really learn how stuff works by messing under the hood (on your development environment of course). I will keep testing the development environment to check for inconsistencies and post back if anything shows up. Cheers Krister Tag: site definition Tag: 73009

    - I must be missing something. Help! I'm new to Sharepoint Portal. I installed the Portal on a 2003 server with SQL 2000 and everything seems to work fine. (the 2nd time) From the HOME page I added several users. Some Admins and some Contributors. No matter what they are, ALL users have the ability to modify the settings of the portal and sites! Why? I've used WSS before and was able to create a fairly effective system for a department. I'm not sure I'm understanding some of the premisses of the Portal. I keep trying things that I could easily do in WSS and most features are not available. I thought by installing the Portal that I could control the main page, and what each user sees. I can't. Example: the Nav bar on the left where the Quick Launch bar would be. I can't change ANYTHING on that. Are there some good books on SharePoint Portal that can explain to me (preferrably using small words :-0 ) the portal stuff? Ron Tag: site definition Tag: 73004

It works exactly as intended. Why did'nt it let me downgrade the rights in scenario 1? Tag: site definition Tag: 73002

    - Sharepoint Report Pack (DEP) error Looking for anyone that is using or has knowledge regarding the Reportings Services Report Pack for Sharepoint... it involves so many different processes it's hard to determine where to post for help. I have been somewhat successful implementing the Sharepoint Report Pack on a development enviroment however the DEP log ends in an failed error that I know I caused but need to understand if it can be corrected. Data extraction failed at 1/13/2006 8:34:36 AM... Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException Invalid object name 'dbSPSReporting.dbo.tblProcessAudit'. There are some records inserted in the tblProcessAudit regarding successful steps the last being usp_Insert_FactSiteStorage - Insert Rows FactSiteStorage - Is that the last step? When running the db creation scripts I renamed the dbSPSReporting to devSPSReporting and all references in the stored procedures etc. I'm afraid there is something hard coded in the DEP that I either need to change or go back and re-install the databases. The DEP runs with the same 'WARNING: Unable to access the the folders for the site "C9" at the URL http:...' that I've seen posted but evidently those are just to be ignored. Is there a way to remove them? Any suggestion or pointers to additional help (other than the deployment guide which I have scoured) whould be greatly appreciated! AB Tag: site definition Tag: 73001

    - Sharepoint Portal Server and SQL Server Database! Hi I'm doing my first experiences with Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS) and I need to connect the Portal to a database SQL-SERVER 2000 that it is installed on an standalone Windows 2000 Server. I've tried to connect but I can't find any place to enter a database user so SharePoint can connect to the SQL Server database... So, my doubt is: Is it possibel to connect a SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to an SQL Server installed on a server on a different domain or on standalone server? If it is how can I define the database user or the SQL Server host server user that SharePoint has to use to be able to connect to the database? Thank you very much for your help!

All the employees of the company submit their forms to this library. The management doesn't want employees from different departments to see the requests of other employees from other departments. So I was thinking of creating a view for each department, and show the forms that are created by that departement.

    - Backing up and Restoring Portal Sites Hi everyone! Im currently developing a portal site for a client. Im testing all functionality in my pc, later I would start doing it all at the server of our client. Problem: I tried backing up and restoring site using stsadmn.exe, backing up was successfull, but restoring was not. What I did before restoring: - Deleted the database which the site uses (SITE,PROF,SERV), just to check if the backup would also restore the site database. (Testing it for worst case scenario) After that I restored the backup file using stsadmn.exe Error encountered after trying to restore portal site over Sharepoint Central Admin "You cannot connect to the database or the database does not exist. Check that the database name is correct and try again. (SPCPorta1_SITE)" But its there after I restored it, I checked it. Its there, I checked the account login information used by the pool, I verified it, uses the same account. Please help, I need this to migrate the whole site to a new physical server.

    - RTF files index fails I have had troubles with the indexing of rtf files with Sharepoint Portal 2001 for quite some time now. Basically if an RTF document is saved with a doc extension the indexer does not index the file. This may sound like an unsual situation, but a number of OCR programs save like this as well as a number of documents from outside of our firm are saved like this. I still am a bit confused as to why Word XP does not offer to save the document in the native doc format when it recognizes an RTF file is open. I was hoping that SPPS 2003 would rectify the situation but it seems as if it still exists. The only way I have found to get around the issue is to pull the file out of the portal, open it in Word 97 and resave the document into the portal. Any thoughts? Can I tell the Ifiliter to fail over to the RTFFilter.dll (I installed it from the Sharepoint 2001 kit). Thanks, Bob Tag: site definition Tag: 72980

Also, under "Site settings"/"Manage sites and workspaces" none of the sites we've created recently appear there - however all of the sites we created earlier are there. In addition, those earlier sites all have the link in the upper right-hand corner. Any ideas? Also, is there a way, with Frontpage, to access all of the /sites/sitename/default.aspx sites?

    - Searching for files via custom field Sorry if this has been answered before. If so, please point me to the right location. I have multiple document libraries that I have added a common custom field. I want to list in a seperate portal page the search results of a search that looks across all portal pages for all files that have a specific value in the common custom field I have added. Sort of a quick list linking to the files in other sub sites. I have seen that I can access the file information via a query to the database (Docs table). I know that the built in search feature in sharepoint will do a search for me but only if the custom field is associated to an Office file. This will not be the case. The doc libraries have all types of file formats. I was looking at doing a view in the database that could do this searching for me and then I would display the information via a custom webpage. So far, I have been able to locate my test document using a query on the DOCS table. How to find the unique custom field and its values for that unique ID that I find is missing from my knowledge. If anybody has any ideas on how to get the problem resolve or a better approach, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Tag: site definition Tag: 72962

    - Alerts on sub-sites doesn't work Hi all ! I have a windows Portal Server 2003. Alerts on the portal site works well.

However, I do not receive any alert from any list... Any Idea ? Tag: site definition Tag: 72952

    - Error when trying to publish a document When attempting to publish a checked in document, the user receives "The document could not be published because of an error." We have disabled anti-virus on the Sharepoint 2001 server and get the same error. Microsoft suggested removing him as a publisher then adding him back. This worked for one day, but then the problem returned. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tag: site definition Tag: 72945

    - 401 after upgrade Hi All, This seems to be a stange Sharepoint / IIS / IE / Authentication issue and has been driving us a bit potty so any help would be greatly appreciated. Firstly all our sites are currently sharepoint portals sites and were working perfectly until we upgraded them all, we upgraded to allow us to define managed paths. STSADM.EXE -o upgrade -url http://oursiteurl/ As soon as the upgrades were completed we started getting random "Cannot find server or DNS Error" for some requests in IE. This does appear to be completelty random all be it quite frequent. Sometimes the page comes with all the assets, sometime with only some of them, i.e. often some images or some style sheets don't make it back. If the page suffers from this problem, there is no coming back, it will always return "Cannot find server or DNS Error" and to view the same page involves closing the browser and navigating back to the desired page. On further investigation this appears to be a authentication issue, when assets are not returned, it is because the server is returning a 401. The IIS logs have the following on requests that return OK 2006-01-12 12:52:49 W3SVC709939539 172.16.2.25 GET /default.aspx - 80 - 172.16.2.104 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) 401 2 2148074254 2006-01-12 12:52:53 W3SVC709939539 172.16.2.25 GET /default.aspx - 80 - 172.16.2.104 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) 401 1 0 2006-01-12 12:53:38 W3SVC709939539 172.16.2.25 GET /default.aspx - 80 domain\username 172.16.2.104 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) 200 0 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The above log entries map to the following HTTP headers GET /default.aspx HTTP/1.1 Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */* Accept-Language: en-gb Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;

    - Add List to My Site Homepage I created a list that I would like to add to a zone on the homepage of my personal site. When I modify the page and attempt to add the list from the list of webparts, it is not listed. To add the list to a page, I had to create a page as a link under the homepage but I really don't want a separate page. Is it possible to add a custom list to the homepage of a personal portal?
