I've installed SharePoint Foundation on Windows 7 Home Premium using the tutorial at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28office.14%29.aspx#50
Everything went well except for the last step when I actually try to load either the site or Central Administration. Instead of a Foundation website, only a blank page appears.
I tried without success the suggested solution to change IIS -> Authentication -> Basic Authentication to Enabled.
After this change it was necessary to enter a username and password when trying to access a Foundation site. Unfortunately, after entering correct data a "Server Not Found" message appeared and I was not able to proceed.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time,
Ben
1st step of troubleshooting this is to take SharePoint out of the equation. Setup a new web application in IIS, put in a simple 'hello world' type static html page and try and load that. If you can't then the problem is IIS/networking and not SharePoint.
For what it's worth, I've found a way to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium and solve the Windows Authentication issue (you CAN actually enable it on Home Premium as well - it's just a manual process, that's all).
You can find the steps I followed on my blog at http://www.rl-soft.com/en/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=21
Hope this helps a few folks!

I've been searching on Google for a resolution to this problem, but cannot find one that matches yet.
I'm trying to deploy a simple "Hello World" web part to SharePoint using Visual Studios 2010.
I'm getting an error when I hit F5: "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': Cannot connect to the SharePoint site: http://example.com/. Make sure that this is a valid URL and the SharePoint site is running on the local computer. If you moved this project to a new computer or if the URL of the SharePoint site has changed since you created the project, update the Site URL property of the project."
Ok, I have done a lot of searching and I'll tell you what I've tried so far. I have full admin rights on the farm, full rights to both databases. I made sure the webpart URL property matches the site property listed in Central Admin as well.
If anyone has any advice or insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
P.S. (Edit) Also, the farm I'm deploying to and visual studio are on the same machine? would that cause it?
Check the properties of your project in Visual Studio. Click on project node in solution explorer and press F4, then check there 'Site URL' property. It should contains one of the following
http://[your machine name][:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
http://localhost[:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
http://[your machine IP address][:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
Note that Visual Studio must be installed on that machine which is your Web Front End or Application server.
If you got some errors with solution retracting try first deactivate and delete it via Central Admin. Then try to make some deploy-retract checking cycle in Visual Studio. If you still would get errors please post here the log from Visual Studio Output window (Ctrl+W, O).
I was able to go ahead and deploy the web part using STSADM commands from tutorials that you guys referenced in this topic, thanks so much for that.
It seems the problem I'm having involves multi-server install, and I don't think there is a quick work around yet.
Thank you all for the responses!
Follow below mentioned steps to debug this issue :
1) Browse the URL in IE on your server where you have hosted the http://mysite.com site.
2) If you are able to browse then try deploying this web part on another site by giving new site URL in project properties in Visual studio.
3) To deploy a solution onto a site you must have visual studio on the same computer where you hosting the site.
4) Try deploying WSP through stsadm, Click here to see the details. To create WSP in Visual studio right click on project -> click on 'Package' -> once its complete right click on project -> click on 'Open in windows explorer' -> open 'bin' directory -> open 'Debug' directory -> you shall see a file named as your project name & extension would be .wsp
5) If anything above doesn't help put down your deploying steps.
Please do the following
Can you first verify the Site Collection you are trying to deploy is working or not
Open the properties of the SharePoint Project >Properties(F4)> Build Tab and see that the platform has been set to Active(Any CPU).
Delete the Solution from Central Administration and then try to deploy the solution once again.
If you still have the same problem then attach the log file from the SharePoint logs.
Thanks,

Have you mention the Site URL property in Visual Studio Sharepoint project?. you can open using (ctrl+shift+p) for Window of Properties then Check project Properties and make sure Site
URL is the Web application where you want solution to be deployed.

I thought I'd give SharePoint development a go, to broaden my understanding of Microsoft technologies and ran into a situation I refuse to understand.
I have a new web application created: http://localhost:11523 and set up the site collection as required. I can browse to the web site fine, without any issues, but now I want to start developing against this, using the object model.
Right, so after I struggled with SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost:11523"); I figured that I'm not running VS2008 in elevated permissions, so restarting VS I finally got one step further.
Whenever I step into my code, I get:
The Web application at
http://localhost:11523/ could not be
found.
I've Googled this without luck. The application is most definitely there, I can browse it, add web parts and go mad. I just can't seem to connect to it via Visual Studio.
Any ideas would be great.
EDIT
I thought I'd isolate my method, called "GetListFromSharePoint(string name)" into a test method (nUnit Framework) and to my surprise returned 9 entries from the list, as expected. When I dumped the method back into my web application (not SharePoint, trying to test the Composite Control through a normal Web site), and run into the mentioned problem.
This is in SharePoint 2007, and I'm developing on the same machine onto which SharePoint 2007 is installed.
This approach used to work, for some reason, I just can't get it to recognize SharePoint. The test stubs work find, just not the web application.
Edit 2
So there where a couple of things I "missed", which kind of solved the problem by itself.
Firstly, I was developing on a x64 Windows 2008 box, thus SharePoint 2007 was running in x64 mode. Cassini, turns out, is 32bit regardless of the platform you run it on, which caused some compiler bugs (I did not have IA64 compilers installed). After installing this, I figured out that the default web site (localhost:80) had been disabled by SharePoint.
Renabling the default web site, allowed me to create my web application as a virtual directory against it, which allowed my debugger compiler to run in x64.
My next challenge was access permissions. Because any new virtual directory on port 80 is assigned to the default application pool, is it assumed that the user does not have the right permissions, so I had to change my web application to run under my SharePoint web application's application pool.
The last thing I had to do was run my SharePoint code with elevated permissions.
Working like a charm :D
Note! Enable debug on your SharePoint web application....
Thanks,
Eric
(You have not specified version - assuming SharePoint 2010).
You need to decide what object model you want to use:
client (to be able to access the server from any other machine)
server (the one that you are trying now, can only be run locally).
Most likley reasons your code not work:
using "localhost" instead of ""computer name" in the Url. (I believe it is the reason.)
you are running your code not on the same machine as the SharePoint
you are running code under non-admin account
Check out how sites collections are configured in "Central Administration" site - urls associated with each site collection are listed there - make sure you are using correct one.
You can also try enumerating all site collections in SPWebApplication (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.administration.spwebapplication.sites.aspx) to start expiriments.
I dont think the SPSite connect through the IIS, and if SharePoint isn't set up to respond to localhost (done in the Central Administration) you wont be able to connect to that url. IIS works a bit different here since it relays the signals to "localhost" to the "web application instance".
Start by checking in your SharePoint Central Administration. Go to "Configure alternate access mappings" in the "System Settings" section. Here you have your SharePoint instances, there are three properties which you can see directly in the list; 'Internal URL', 'Zone' and 'Public URL for Zone'.
If the Internal URL isn't set to Localhost you wont be able to use that connection you suggested. It bay be improper to change this to another url as well, so simply try to set your SPSite site = new SPSite("http://yourinternalurl:11523"); to whatever's in that box! :)

I have an old website developed in classic ASP, I need to add openoffice functionality in it, so I have created a DLL using UNO services of OpenOffice in VB. I have tried that DLL from locally using in another EXE project and even on command line project.
The problem starts when I use that DLL to ASP. It says 'ActiveX Component Can't Create Object', I have searched a lot and finally I decided to ask some experts regarding this issue. As from my searches it says there is some issue with IIS security. I need to configure some directories with some particular user rights and some DCOM service configuration, seriously I don't know anything about setting user rights to IIS and setting DCOM Services rights, below are URL that points to that issue.
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=24400&highlight=activex+component
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=73470
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=26366
I think there is not such Step-By-Step post available who can direct openoffice users to configure with IIS and ASP.
Please Help, as its and urgent issue.
Thanking You,

Verify if the App Pool assigned to your site or virtual directory has the "Enable 32 Bits Applications" parameter in True. Setting it to True was the solution to a similar problem a was facing some time ago.
Finally i found the answer by my self.
I have created a service in windows that calls star office document with administrative privileges.
I'm getting the following error while trying to create a SPSite instance (not open it, just create it):
"The Web application at <URL> could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application."
I have SharePoint Foundation 2010 installed on x64 Windows 7 laptop and VS 2008. I've done a lot of searching the last couple of days and I've tried any suggestion there is:
Setting user permissions to the database.
Targeting the application for x64 CPU.
Running my app with the sharepoint app pool account. Creating new app pool.
Creating windows forms and console applications to run the code from there.
Adding and removing the web application administrators.
Checked the logs (nothing in there).
Writing the URL in full, with machine name and with IP.
The funny thing is that the same code was working fine at one point and then just stopped. I cannot recall to have done anything special to damage it.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Martin
To answer my own question the sharepoint site had to be on the default port - 80. Publishing it on any other port and trying to access it by putting the port in the URL did not work. Strange but it worked.
I'm in big trouble here, today i was asked to add a new user to TFS, the first thing I do is adding it to SharePoint, but now every time I tried to enter the project portal (Team Explorer -> right click on project -> Show project portal) I got an page not found error, with every single project, Here are some basic info about the setup:
2 Tier TFS, TFS server, ReportServices and SharePoint are on the same server.
If I try to enter administration portal on this server (cd21vids1 is the tfs server)
http://cd21vids1:17012/ -- I get Directory Listing Denied
http://cd21vids1:17012/default.aspx -- I get the default page, which works OK.
If i enter a project site i get this results (88 is the default port for SharePoint in this server):
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/ -- Page not found
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/default.aspx -- I get the page but with no styles and the layout is wrong, also i get an error on the "remaining work" report (directory listing denied), the reports that have problems are "Issues List" and "Exit Criteria Status" (Directory Listing Denied on both cases).
Everything else seems to work OK, (builds, check-ins), I hope you can help me out, thanks.

UPDATE: I did some more tests, i get a page not found error in the url
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/_styles/core.css
Maybe this is way I get the default page without the correct layout.
UPDATE2: Also when I click the "Windows Sharepoint Services Site Administration" link I get this error:
"The Team Foundation Server could not locate the online Site Administration application for this team project portal in Windows SharePoint Services. The most likely cause of this error is that the language settings on the team project portal do not match the current language of your Visual Studio client. The location of Site Administration is specific to the language of the project portal. Contact the Team Foundation Server administrator for availability information of Site Administration for this project portal. For more information, see the Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide."
Someone changed the language to the server from English US to Spanish MX, I changed the language back to English and restarted the server but no dice (BTW I already had a folder named 2058 in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\" like explained in this post
my SharePoint problem is fixed, here are the details.
Run "SharePoint Product Technologies Configuration Wizard"
1.1. Select do not disconnect from this server farm, click next
1.2. Select No, this machine will continue to host the web site, click next.
1.3 Click Next
Restart IIS
I have had the same problem with the core.css file. I didn't want to use Sharepoint designer to solve it cause it would have unghosted my site!
So I tried this (it works) : on the site administration, go to "master page", and down the page you have a way to redefine the css used for the site. So i put there the url :/_layouts/1036/Styles/core.css (1036= French, so use 1033 if you are site is in english!), and after validation it worked.
The problem is that the page still try to get the core.css from http://MYServeur/_styles/core.css ..and return a 404!
But at least I have my style back. I just post it in case... I still hope a real better solution...
