Error : I have a Sharepoint 2013 running on a Windows Server 2012. Following issue appeared: I made a new Site-Collection as wiki. Everything (links,...) works fine on the server but when I want to access the wiki from outside (not localhost) the server runs in a 404 Not found error. http://localhost/sites/wiki/Pages/Home.aspx - works fine(localhost) http://10.38.0.15/sites/wiki/Pages/Home.aspx - doesn't work. I checked the IIS settings, all servers are up and running. The log file has no errors in it. Resolution : The most common cause for this is that you don't have the IIS host header configured correctly . The 404 will appear because you are hitting a different IIS web site and not the one you intended to. If you go into IIS Manager and click on " Sites " in the right hand pane there will be a column called bindings and a column called ID . IIS will check in the order of ID for the first site that matches. Make sure the default site is stopped ...

We all know that SharePoint doesn’t support saving publishing sites as a template . I don’t recommend doing that anyway as the produced template will have errors and isn’t reliable to be used in production to create new sites off of. However, sometimes as a developer you need to save a publishing site as a template to see how SharePoint packages things. This can help you build your own custom web template which is a neat thing and replaces the need to save a publishing site as template. Well, since the Save site as a template option is hidden from the publishing sites settings page we all used the following URL to go there directly: /_layouts/savetmpl.aspx Or /_layouts/15/savetmpl.aspx Well, that is not going to work anymore in SharePoint 2013 if your site is a publishing site or have the publishing features activated . You basically get that following error: The “Save site as template” action is not supported on this site.   In order to get around th...

You can control which mode (2010 or 2013, or both) can be used when a user creates a site collection. The CompatibilityRange property on a web application controls the site modes available for a web application. You can view or change the settings for CompatibilityRange by using Windows PowerShell. check the following and let me know if helpful http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219599(v=office.15).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff191199(v=office.15).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219650(v=office.15).aspx If you upgrade from SharePoint Server 2010 to SharePoint Server 2013, there are special considerations for My Sites. (My Sites are not available in SharePoint Foundation 2013.) Make sure that you upgrade the My Site Host site collection before you allow users to access their individual My Sites in SharePoint Server 2013. This makes sure that the server software and database changes are complete so that users ca...

Intro to Host Name Site Collections (HNSC) * Host Name Site Collections are the answer to simplifying and consolidating SharePoint Farm/s.   Let’s assume a SharePoint Farm has 5 web applications each mapped to a unique application pool.   While this gives you a nice separation for security purposes, it adds unnecessary strain on each WFE.   E ach time an application pool is spun up, it must load all of the assemblies from memory.  * So in this case, each WFE is consuming 5x memory right off the bat.   The costs increase by having to procure beefy machines with lots of memory to support this requirement. * For many of our customers, this led to many multifarm environments due to hitting a cap in physical memory.   Also as you’ve experienced, the sheer # of web applications can lead to long patching cycles with PSConfig . * By consolidating web applications, your essentially cutting operations costs (faster patchin...

I was about to give up on one of my labb SharePoint 2013 Environments because it was so extremely slow all the time. Warmup scripts, reloads, more memory, more CPU, stopping services, stopping search …nothing helped. I had a constant loadtime of all aspx pages of 6+ seconds, 6.10-6.20 something. Even when the page was just loaded and I pressed F5 to reload, it still took 6.10 seconds. This was an environment that gave you sensitive nerves… So, after looking for any solution or more like looking for the little issue that caused this all day, I gave up more or less. – CPU was at a maximum 40% on SQL, SharePoint cranked it up to 18%… – Memory consumtion was at 25% of the 12GB SharePoint had… – SQL was Lightning fast to all other SharePoint farms… – Network utilization showed about 100Kbps at the most… I scavenged the internet as usual and found nothing but the standard: add more memeory, add more CPU, stop services, stop search… None of that helped and I had tr...

Very slow SharePoint, what can you do against it without upgrading your hardware : what you can do if your SharePoint is sometimes very slow. E.g.: on the first start of a Site Sometimes during the day a search query will take about a minute until you get results..... Just look on that article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2625048 it will improve your "feeled" performance (site response times) massive, if you're going to implement both solutions. Disabling CRL Check is just necessary if the SP Server does not have internet connectivity! -> that means proxy settings must be configured for the server itself http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/bb430772(v=exchg.141).aspx , and your proxy must allow traffic from the server of course.
