Our team has a sharepoint website and I need to maintain the shared documents on our site. Problem is, it was designed by someone else and I was just given the link to the team website. I have tried using search and setting alerts and both of these don't work. i googled trying to find out what's happening and everyone keeps asking me to go to central administrator. I don't see central administrator anywhere in the website(I have full access). I am thinking I have to go to the server where sharepoint is running from. How do I figure out where it is running from? Sorry, I'm new to sharepoint.
Central Admin is the website that SharePoint creates when you install the software. It generally runs on your main SharePoint web frontend. If you RDC to your main web front end and then click on Start, All Programs and then click on the SharePoint folder, you'll see Central Administration. Click on that and the website will appear. You must be a farm admin to be able to access the site.
It sounds like you may not be a farm admin though. Depending on the permissions you have, you should be able to see your team site's Shared Documents or other document libraries under All Site Content, which you can either see by clicking on Site Actions or find it on the bottom left of the web page (again depends on what modifications have been created).
You need to assign the sign-in user account the permission to check the Shared Documents and you need to get at least Contribute permission level to maintain the Shared Doc on the site.
For Central Administrator, you can either RDC to the Web Front End server where the SharePoint was intalled or visit that server IP:port or computer name:port(80 by default).
Hope this may help!
First of all,the link you got may not be a Central Administration link.It is probably a common site collection.If you have full control permission over this site collection, you should be able to maintain Shared Document.
About the question that where SharePoint is running from?
SharePoint must be installed in a server. Generally, only farm admin can access this machine. If you want to know or learn about it, and if you don't have farm account to access the server, you can contact your farm administrator.
Central Administration is also a site.But it is different. You can manage all web applications and site collections in Central Administration.So you can manage or modify your team site in Central Administration
Hope this helps.

My company switched from an onsite SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint Online.
I had some pages that consisted of multiple web parts, including the filter web parts.
I've rebuilt these pages in Sharepoint Online, but none of the filter web parts are available.
Every list is set to use classic experience - except the site itself, which I do not have control over.
According to IT support these specific filter web parts are simply not available in SharePoint Online, and therefore they can't help me.
I honestly don't trust that answer completely, which is why I'm asking here ;-)
So:
Can the filter web parts be made available for classic view in Sharepoint Online?
Suggestion on what would need to be configured in order for these to be made available?
Possible links to official Microsoft documentation?
Thanks :-)
Per my test, the filter web parts are available in SharePoint Online. As the below picture shows:
You could donot have access to the web part gallery. Ask the site admin to give your access to the web part gallery: please go to site settings-> Web parts, grant the user access to the library.
Both TFS 2015 and Sharepoint 2013 Foundation are on-premise installations. They are on separate servers. Sharepoint is being configured post TFS installation - although I am not currently updating any existing projects.
Account being used to access the sharepoint site is a full admin on both sharepoint collection as well as TFS too.
TFS Extensions are installed, and configured on the Sharepoint server.
Can successfully create a new TFS 2015 project, and see it create the Sharepoint site - however upon accessing the Sharepoint portal site I see a number of TF30063: You are not authorized to access http://app-p-tfs01:8080/tfs errors.
I note that the collection is not listed on the url; I am looking to use the root web application of the sharepoint site as the root location.
Nothing appearing in Security event logs nor the TFS _oi audit.
Any pointers on where to look next?
The "TF30063" error message indicates that your account doesn't have permission to access TFS. As this blog described, it is caused when some permissions are denied somewhere because deny takes precedence over any other permission.
So, you can run the tfssecurity /imx command to check which group the account belongs to. Then check these group one by one to see the required permissions are not denied.
For the reporting service error, seems that the report doesn't run correctly. Firstly, go to the report server and ensure the data source can be connected successfully.
After discussing this with Microsoft Support today, it transpired the account Sharepoint was running under (which oddly is the same as TFS), did not have the relevant access - even though it WAS listed under the relevant Services group.
This was added to the Administrators group and all was well.
Very strange.
I'm totally new to sharepoint, My question is simple. I have a document library with some documents in it. When I delete a document from the library, this document still appears in search results. I solved this by running something called full crawl, I honestly don't know what this is. Do I have to do this every time I modify the documents in the library?
Reset your index, good guide here :)
http://sharepointnoob.wordpress.com/2009/05/27/reset-crawled-content-in-moss-2007/
Check the crawl logs for errors during the crawl.
Also try
Go to SharePoint Central Administration > Operations > Services on Server, stop the Windows SharePoint Service Search service
Started the Windows SharePoint Service Search service from SharePoint Central Administration and create a new search database
Re-associated the indexer to the content database from SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration > Application Management > Content Databases
Make sure that your crawl account does not have administrator level privileges to your SharePoint farm. If it does, it can see deleted items and can cause this issue to occur. It should just be a default user account with read permissions.
Yes, I guess you have to do this every single time you do any modification. At least this is how I do it/
I have a farm solution wsp which I want to add and deploy on a client's SharePoint farm.
Now I don't have remote access to this SharePoint machine but do have full admin rights to its central admin and related site collection, and can open the central admin and all sites through my machine.
Now as per my knowledge a farm solution is added to the SharePoint farm and not to the site collection, but I could not find any screen in central admin from which I can add my solution.
This is the case with both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 servers.
What are the possibilities?
Basically, it sounds like you need to add and deploy a farm solution only using central admin? I don't think that is possible. If you look step one from MSDN
Adding: A solution package is added by a farm administrator to the farm's solution store, which is in the farm's configuration database. This is done either with the SharePoint Management Shell (or with the object model). It cannot be done in Central Administration.
You can't do this through web interface.
If you have full admin rights - you can use Remote PowerShell. But this require some setup on server. You can read this article about this: http://blog.incworx.com/blog/nik-brendlers-blog/administer-your-sharepoint-farm-remotely-with-powershell
What would be the best way/ steps to create a SHAREPOINT 2007 SITE which any one can browse through in our situation?
We already have a web application in our production which is used as a authoring site and a extended application for that site collection, were the public can access it without authentication.
Can I create another SITE COLLECTION under the current web application and then create a required web page in it?
Thanks
Jag
You can create many site collections per web application. Just go to the Central Administration console and under Sharepoint Site Management, (Under Application Management), click Create site collection. You will then be asked to select the web application under which you want to create it.
Note too that the url will appear something like webappname/sites/sitecollection
hope this helps,
