Hello, One of my customers faced a problem that suddenly their SharePoint portal was loading extremely slower than usual. After some basic troubleshooting I did not find anything suspicious in the ULS logs, IIS logs or even Event logs. After that, I came to the part that I like most which is capturing a memory dump for the IIS process and analyzing the threads running. I searched for any common mistakes like looping a large list, calling a remote web service but couldn't find any. After a deep analysis ......
Hello, As weird as it seems to anyone who used it before, most of the time explorer view does not work until some steps to be followed, but in my case it was working and sometimes randomly not working ! After spending hours of troubleshooting and collecting logs, Network traces, Fiddler traces, etc. I reached the solution from the Network trace. Although it seems strange, it was sending a PROPFIND request to the root directory "/" which was actually deleted. So, I came up to this important article ......
Hello, One time I faced an issue where my customer is having an HTTP 500 internal server error while trying to access any SharePoint site. The problem appeared once he moved back and forth with inheriting/breaking inheritance of permissions over different levels in the site collection. "Security corruption in database" sounds very tough for a customer running a production portal with a backup that can make him lose around 3 weeks of valuable data. However, the solution tends not to be that hard, ......
Hello, I've been playing around with paging in data form webpart. I thought ( well someone actually asked me ) about how to add a "Last Page" link to the paging in the webpart. So, I've not tested it a lot, but it may help. Add this xsl variable inside the ms-paging td: <xsl:variable name="PagesNumber" select="ceiling($dvt_RowCount div $RowLimit)"/> And add this anchor tag in the place you want it to be: <a> <xsl:attribute name="href"> javascript: <xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:GenFireServer... ......
Hello, I've been struggling with variations for a lot of time. I always thought that it was a stupid feature in sharepoint because of the conflict it creates. It keeps on updating the page in the variation labels if you update it in the source label, which might not be very useful unless you're using resources heavily and localization. The solution to this, was to disable the automatic propagation from the source label to all other labels, using this snippit: [System.Reflection.Assembly... ......
Hello, I've faced a challenging problem during deployment of an HttpModule for a Sharepoint web application that uses the method "HttpContext.RewritePath(pa... to render different CSS/images based on a specific condition that I check on. The strange thing, which I think happens to most of us, is that it was working perfectly on the development environment but on the development environment it's not :( After viewing the IIS logs, I've found out that when I request any CSS/image using this method, ......
Hello everyone, I've faced a weird problem when I was deploying FAST for Sharepoint, is that when I search, the results URL is not mapping correctly to the AAMs that I've defined for it. So, When I opened the event viewer, I've found 2 critical errors that keep on occuring every fixed time interval which were: The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Sea... (ID 75aabb8d-11c6-4d32-9d0d-ec6... threw an exception. More information ......
Dears, Today I've been playing around with FAST search for Sharepoint 2010, and after doing all the installation and configuration steps, it took it too long crawling and without retrieving any results. So, after viewing the event log, I've found that error saying "Failed to initialize session with document engine: Unable to resolve Content distributor". After searching for the error, the resolution was the following: Go to %FastDirectory%\etc\content... and copy the line containing ......
Dears,
I've faced a strange exception when trying to add a list item using powershell. The exception stated that the update method cannot take 0 arguments. Resolution was pretty simple, just make sure that the user running the script is a member of the administrators group in site permissions.
Cheers,
Dears, I’ve been facing a bug in the paging of the data form webpart which occurs when the asynchronous update is enabled. The issue is that when you click the previous button, then it’ll redirect you to the previous page as it invokes a call to history.back() javascript function. I’ve done some modifications in the XSLT in order to make this work: • Open the code view and search for a <td> that has a class named “ms-paging” and then paste those lines before the starting of the td tag: <xsl:variable ......
