HTTP Error Status Codes

HTTP Server Status Codes and Definitions
List of HTML Server Codes
HTML 200 error codes:
200 – OK
Successful transmission. This is not an error. The file you requested was
found -- here it is.
201 – Created
The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created.
The newly created resource can be referenced by the URL(s) returned in the
URL – header field of the response. The most specific URL for the resource
will be given by a Location header field.
202 – Accepted
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not
yet completed.
203 – Non – Authoritative Information
The returned META information in the Entity – Header is not the definitive set
as available from the origin server, but is gathered from a local or third –
party copy.
204 – No Content
The server has fulfilled the request, but there is no new information to send
back.
206 – Partial Content
You requested a range of bytes in the file, and here they are. This is new in
HTTP/1.1
HTML 300 error codes:
300 – Multiple Choices
The requested source is available at one or more locations and a preferred
location could not be determined via content negotiation.
301 – Moved Permanently
The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URL and any
future references to this resource should be done using one of the returned
URLs.
302 – Moved
Temporarily – The requested resource resides temporarily under a new URL.
Redirection to a new URL should be provided. This is not an error, most
browsers invisibly fetch the new page upon seeing this result.
303 – See Other
The requested resource resides under a different URL and should be
accessed using a Get method on that resource.
304 – Not Modified
If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed;
however, the document has not been modified since the date and time
specified in the If – Modified – Since field – then the server responds with this
status code and does not send an Entity – Body to the client. If it also says,
"Use local copy." This means that the copy of the file on the web server is not
more recent than the copy which your web browser or proxy server has
cached locally, so there's no point in sending the file again. This is not an
error.
Other 300’s
Redirected requests are those with other codes in the 300s. The most
common cause of these requests is that the user has incorrectly requested a
directory name without the trailing slash. The server replies with a redirection
("you probably mean the following") and the user then makes a second
connection to get the correct document (although usually the browser does
it automatically without the user's intervention or knowledge). If you have a
large number of 300 level result codes in your logs, you have probably
specified links without the trailing "/" (slash).
HTML 400 error codes:
400 – Bad Request
The request could not be understood by the server because the syntax was
incorrect. A bad request was made by the client.
401 – Unauthorized
The request requires user authentication. The response must include a WWW
– Authenticate header field containing a challenge applicable to the
requested source. The user asked for a document but did not provide a valid
username or password.
402 – Payment Required
This code is not currently supported, but is reserved for future use.
403 – Forbidden
The server understood the request but is refusing to perform the request
because of an unspecified reason. Access is explicitly denied to this
document. This might happen because the web server doesn't have read
permission for the file you're requesting.
404 – Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the requested URL. 04 errors are
the result of requests for pages which do not exist, and can come from a
mistyped URL, a bookmark which points to a file no longer there, search
engines looking for a robots.txt (which is used to mark pages you don't want
indexed by search engines), people guessing filenames, bad links from your
site or other sites, etc.
405 – Method Not Allowed
The method specified in the request line is not allowed for the resource
identified by the requested URL.
406 – None Acceptable
The server has found a resource matching the request URL, but not one that
satisfies the conditions identified by the Accept and Accept – Encoding
request headers.
407 – Proxy
Authentication Required – This code is reserved for future use. It is similar to
401 (Unauthorized) but indicates that the client must first authenticate itself
with a proxy. HTTP/1.0 does not provide a means for proxy authentication.
408 – Request Timeout
The client did not produce a request within the time the server was prepared
to wait.
409 – Conflict
The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state
of the resource.
410 – Gone
The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no
forwarding address is known.
411 – Authorization Refused
The request credentials provided by the client were rejected by the server or
insufficient to grant authorization to access the resource.
HTML 500 error codes:
500 – Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from
filling the request. There is usually nothing that can be done from the
browser end to fix this error. The server administrator will probably need to
check the server's error log to see what happened. This is often the error
message for FrontPage for a CGI script which has not been properly coded.
501 – Not Implemented
The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request.
Application method (either GET or POST) is not implemented.
502 – Bad Gateway
The server received an invalid response from the gateway or upstream server
it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request.
503 – Service Unavailable
The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary
overloading or maintenance of the server. Server is out of resources.
504 – Gateway Timeout
The server did not receive a timely response from the gateway or upstream
server it accessed in attempting to complete the request.

Error: The Form Cannot be Rendered. This May be Due to a Misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service

Introduction

I created a SharePoint 2010 workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013 and published the workflow. When I tried to start the workflow in the site I was getting the following error:

Share1.jpg

Error Message

"The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service. For more information contact your administrator."

Reason

This is because the State Service Application is not configured in the server. State Service is a shared service that is used by some Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 components to store temporary data information for InfoPath form services that includes both out of the box and custom workflow forms so state service is required for both out of the box and custom workflow forms.

Solution

You need to configure State Service Application in the server. Open a Powershell window and run the following command:

New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name "State Service Database" | New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name "State ServiceApplication" | New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -DefaultProxyGroup

Share2.jpg

Open Central Administration. Click on "Application Management". Click on "Manage Service Applications" that is available under the Service Applications section. You will be able to see the State Service application created successfully.

Share3.jpg

Now the workflow starts without any issues.

Summary

Thus in this article you have seen how to resolve "The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service. For more information contact your administrator" in SharePoint 2013.

Enable anonymous access to a SharePoint site

If you done with developing your SharePoint based website and you would like to make your site or part of it available to everyone in your organization or available via Internet you have reached the right place. I would like to note that Anonymous Access is not for everyone and needs to be planned out carefully.

1.)   Navigate to SharePoint 2010 Central Administration -> Application management -> Manage web applications.



2.)   Choose the web application you would like to configure and click onAuthentication Providers.

3.)   Click on Default



4.) On the Edit Authentication screen choose the Enable anonymous accessoption and click on save.


5.) Our next step is to open your SharePoint site -> Site Actions -> Site Permissions


6.) Click on Anonymous Access


7.) Specify which parts of your web site you would like to enable anonymous access for and click on OK.



8.) Notice that a new entry was added to the list of permissions



9.) Navigate to Site Actions -> Site Settings


10.) Navigate to Galleries -> Master Pages and page layouts


11.) Click on the library tab


12.) Click on Library Permissions

13.) Click on Anonymous Access


14.) Specify the permission level of anonymous users. In our case we would like anonymous users to be able to view items.



15.) Navigate to Site Actions –> View All Site Content



16.) Click on Style Library and repeat the actions in steps 11 – 14.

17.) That’s it! Now we can test our configuration. Sign out of your web site, close your browser and then reopen.



If we see the “Sign In” button on the top of the screen that means our configuration is correct and we can access the site anonymously. :) 


The File is currently checked out or locked for editing by another user









Steps to resolve this issue

Go to Library Settings
Select Manage files which have no checked in version
It will list out files checked out and we need to select particular documents located in this folder and take ownership of those docs.
Now we can remove the library.

PowerShell Commands to Install, Update, Uninstall WSP Packages

Copy your WSP file to an appropriate location e.g.) C:\temp
Launch PowerShell on the SharePoint server Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products -> SharePoint 2010 Management Shell
Type Add-SPSolution c:\temp\TheSolution.wsp to add it to SharePoint
Install-SPSolution –Identity TheSolution.wsp –WebApplication http://www.anjansp.blogspot.com GACDeployment
The easiest option is to use GACDeployment as above. The DLL is installed in the Assembly folder on the server. If you want to use Code Access Security, replace -GACDeployment with -CASPolicies. At this point your solution is installed and will be available for use. If it is a web part, you should be able to see it at http://YourServer/_catalogs/wp/Forms/AllItems.aspx
At some point in the future you might wish to ugrade your solution. Generally it is safer to uninstall and re-install, but here is the command:
Update-SPSolution –Identity TheSolution.wsp –LiteralPath c:\temp\TheSolution.wsp –GACDeployment
To uninstall run this command:
Uninstall-SPSolution –Identity TheSolution.wsp –WebApplication http://YourServer
Followed by:
Remove-SPSolution –Identity TheSolution.wsp
Files can be removed from C:\temp after install.

To Remove completely 
Follow the steps for STSADM:
  1. Open command prompt and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN
  2. cd " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN "
  3. Use the stsadm command = stsadm -o retractsolution -name solutionName.wsp -immediate
  4. and then remove the wsp = stsadm -o deletesolution -name solutionName.wsp
Follow the steps for Powershell:
  1. Go to All Programs => Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products =>SharePoint 2010 Management Shell =>Run as administrator
  2. Uninstall-SPSolution -identity "solutionName.wsp"
  3. Remove-SPSolution -identity "solutionName.wsp"

2863929 Description of the SharePoint Foundation 2010 hotfix package (Wss-x-none.msp): February 11, 2014

Issues that this hotfix package fixes
·         The Advanced List Settings and Manage Access Requests pages contain related UI elements that are not grouped within fieldsets. This limits the effectiveness of assistive technologies such as screen readers.
·         The alternate text on images in some field headers in list views is redundant or missing. This limits the effectiveness of assistive technologies such as screen readers.
·         In SharePoint 2010 picture libraries, the picture preview in the left navigation column may be completely or partly hidden for pictures with long file names.
·         When you use the lookup dropdown functionality on a field in a list that contains two or more lookup columns, the dropdown may appear in the wrong position.
·         Assume that you have created a list that uses more than eight Date and Time columns and one or more Lookup columns that use the Allow multiple values option. Also assume that you have created a view in the list that includes the Lookup column and uses Group By on a Date and Time column. When you try to expand a group in the view, the group does not expand, and you receive an error message.
·         When you enter a value for a "Date and Time" column in a Document Library on a website that uses the Hirji Calendar, the date value is not saved.
·         When the Manage Access Requests dialog box is opened, keyboard focus remains in-place instead of moving to the opened dialog box. This limits the effectiveness of assistive technologies such as screen readers.
·         In the flat view of a discussion board, the Posted By column displays the user who edited the post instead of the original author.
·         In a list that uses many items that have unique permissions, a view that uses the Show all items without folders option will cause slow performance.
·         After you install the August 2013 CU or later versions on a SharePoint 2010 server, you cannot add new list items by using a list form that is created by using SharePoint Designer. Additionally, when you click the Save button, you receive the following error message:
The data source control failed to execute the insert command. 0a6efc0d-c1ec-4a5c-9201-579a6b0796da
·         The SPWeb.GetSubwebsForCurrentUser() method returns webs with an incorrect ParentWebid. This causes the Hidden items to not be hidden correctly during Global Navigation.
·         The SPWeb.FirstUniqueRoleDefinitionWeb() method throws ArgumentException when WebId is duplicated in the farm.
·         When you delete a document or a list item that has a broken security inheritance from the Recycle Bin, the corresponding RoleAssignment table row is not deleted. 

2863937 Description of the SharePoint Server 2010 hotfix package (Coreserver-x-none.msp): February 11, 2014

·         You have a SharePoint server farm.
·         You enable the Search components in the farm.
·         You remove one server from the farm by running PSConfigUI.exe.
·         You add that server back to the farm by running PSConfigUI.exe.
In this scenario, the Search components on that server do not work. 
·         Assume that you browse a SharePoint Server 2010 site by using a keyboard that uses a non-en-US keyboard layout together with an assistive technology tool such as Windows Narrator. When you type inside a rich text field, you cannot navigate to the contextual ribbon by using the Ctrl+[ keyboard shortcut.
Note After you install this hotfix package, you can use the Ctrl+F6 keyboard shortcut to navigate to the contextual ribbon.
