Quick Fix For “There has been an error while loading the form”

I’m testing a custom SharePoint Designer 2010 activity this fine Sunday afternoon and I was unexpectedly hitting a “Critical Error” when trying to launch the workflow:

There has been an error while loading the form.
Click Start Over to load a new copy of the form.  If this error persists, contact the support team for the Web Site.
Click Close to exit this message.
Show error details

Of course, if you click the “Show error details” button all it does is show you a correlation ID:


* In my case, this turned out to be an Alternate Access Mappings problem.

* I looked at the log file in the 14 hive and saw that InfoPath was complaining about an AAM issue (since I was hitting Localhost instead of the server name).  I changed my URL and that solved it.
Ex :

* Here the problem in this case was with the URL. First I was giving the below URL:
http://win-pfcp2dgt8di/_layouts/15/FormServer.aspx?XsnLocation=http://win-pfcp2dgt8di/MyTestFormLib/Forms/template.xsn&SaveLocation=http%3A%2F%2Fwin-pfcp2dgt8di%2FMyTestFormLib&ClientInstalled=false&DefaultItemOpen=1

Then I gave the below URL and it is working now.

http://win-pfcp2dgt8di/_layouts/15/FormServer.aspx?XsnLocation=http://win-pfcp2dgt8di/MyTestFormLib/Forms/template.xsn&OpenIn=browser&SaveLocation=http://win-pfcp2dgt8di/MyTestFormLib
It does to show that with all the linkings of the various bits now in SP 2010, the thing you naturally this is a problem (SharePoint Designer workflow in my case) is actually totally unrelated to the core problem.

Problem: When Opening a word document I get the following error when Office Web Apps tries to render the document " There's a configuration problem preventing us from getting your document. If possible, try opening this document in Microsoft Word.

"Sorry, Word Web App can't open this ... document because the service is busy." Office WebApp

Problem: Intermitten requests are not returning the pdf/word documents.  Most requests are working and occasionally 1 request doesn't work.  Every 4th request tries to get the pdf to display on Office Web Apps for a few minutes without any error message and then stops trying and displays the message "Sorry, Word Web App can't open this ... document because the service is busy." Initial Hypothesis: Originally I thought it was only happening to pdfs but it is happening to word and pdf documents (I don't have excel docs in my system).  My monitoring software SolarWinds is badly configured on my OWA servers as the monitor is showing green, drining into the servers monitoring the 2 application monitors are failing.  The server should go amber if either of the 2 applications fail and in turn red after 5 minutes.  At this point I notice that I can't log onto my 4 OWA/WCA server.  Web request are not being returned.  I look at my KEMP load balancer and it says al
