Office Web Apps is HTTP, But, Want to change it to HTTPS - How ?

Forum,
We have deployed and configured a single Office Web Apps server farm to use HTTP, Using TechNet instructions e.g.:
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL "http://servername" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName <WacServerName> -AllowHTTP
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "internal-http"
AllowOAuthOverHttp to True
And everything is working perfectly fine !
We now need to change it to use HTTPS and we have a certificate for that. But, Since it has been already configured with HTTP and it already has a configured binding, How can I change all this to HTTPS ?

you can try rebuilding the binding at SharePoint server -
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687
Remove-SPWOPIBinding -All:$true
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName <WacServerName>
Get-SPWOPIZone
// Take note of the WOPI zone that is displayed.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-https"
//If the results from Step 3 show that internal-https and the SharePoint farm is internal only, you can skip this step. If you have a SharePoint farm that’s internal and external, you need to run the following command to change the zone to external-https.
Or try by Rebuilding the OfficeWebApps Farm -

Take farm offline
Remove each machine (parent and child) from the farm
Recreate the farm - New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "https://server.domain.com" -EditingEnabled -CertificateName *.domain.com
Rebuild the bindings on SharePoint Server : As explained above

Office Web Apps is not working

Hi,
We have tried to deploy Office Web Apps Server but, after a number of tests, we haven't been able to view PowerPoint presentations. We tested "everything" but it didn't work.
Finally, to simplify and focus the problem, we just deployed Office Web Apps Server "on its own", that is: just Internal URL, HTTP, Open From URL Enabled and sharing docs from a shared folder in the same server. So we have:
\\wacserver\share\<Docs> (Excel, Word and PowerPoint)
http://wacserver
They work both "/hosting/discovery" and "/op/generate.aspx".
If we try to view Excel doc, it works. If we try to view Word or PowerPoint, id doesn't work.
For PowerPoint, it appears the PowerPoint Web Apps frame (FILE, START SLIDE SHOW, SLIDE - OF -, NOTES...) and, in the center, an animation
"PowerPoint Web App .....". After a couple of minutes, it stops with "Either you've lost network connectivity or our server is to busy to handle your request".
What we have seen from different sources:

but SYSTEM, we have checked, has "Full control" permissions in those keys or folders.
These errors appear by Office Web Server running itself, although we are not making a PowrPoint file request.

Several times, it tries to find the PowerPoint presentation in the caché, doesn't find it, manage to get it but, when trying to put it in the cache, it receives a disk space error:

The cache folder has enough disk size and PowerPoint.pptx file is just 30 KB.
It repeats this flow 3 times (as for the first HTTP requests).
During the 2 minutes test (until it fails) there are 14 traces like:
Failed to create process object for pid 7780 with exception System.ArgumentException: Process with an Id of 7780 is not running. at System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessById(Int32 processId) at Microsoft.Office.Web.Common.RequestPipe.ProcessManager.TryGetProcessObject(Int32
pid).
We have tried a number of things but none has worked. The farm has just one server and it says ist's unhealthy. We have Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. We have read some ways to fix the health, like HTTP Activation feature, but it only works
for Windows Server 2012 as fas as we know.
Has anybody experienced something like this or have a posible solution? Office Web Apps Server should be so easy to deploy but we have spent a lot of time with this.
Thank you very much. Your help will be very appreciated.
Kind regards.

Hi John,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot view the PowerPoint files in Office Web Apps in SharePoint.
Was there any error when you view the PowerPoint files in Office Web Apps?
You can troubleshoot the error following the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#tshoot
I also recommend to re-configure SharePoint to use the Office Web Apps Server to see if the issue still occurs.

Office web apps is working in Chrome not in IE

When I attempt to open a document using office web apps in IE, its throwing error like "sorry there was a problem and we can't open this document", I I open the same document using google Chrome I can able to open and edit the document too?
Any help please?
Thanks,
-Sendil

Hi,
I understand that you fail to open a document using office web apps in IE, but the document can be opened in Google Chrome.
I can suggest you to reset Internet Explorer settings. If system is Windows 8, we can
follow these steps:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap or click
Search. Enter Internet options in the search box, and then tap or click
Settings.
In the search results, tap or click Internet Options. Tap or click the Advanced tab and then tap or click
Reset
In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings window tap or click Reset
Close and then restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.
If system is Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP, we can reset Internet Explorer automatically.

Office Web Apps issue

Ive got an issue where Office Web Apps has stopped working if you access Sharepoint via the external url of the Sharepoint site, it works fine internally and externally from Exchange and also internally from Sharepoint.
As soon as i browse to the external url it fails with "Sorry there was a problem and we cant open this document. If this happens again try opening the document in MS Word" (Same issue with all apart from Excel which shows an IIS config page).
Ive unregistered and reregisterd OWA in Sharepoint but the same result.
It may be worth adding that at around the same time the server lads disabled SSL 3.0 on the servers, ive had them change the reg key back to enable it again and tested if it is working but it may have caused some other issue in IIS im unaware of, they also
did this on exchange but OWA is working fine on this.
The above issue happens in chrome so im asuming there is come caching going on, in IE i get
Sorry, something went wrong

OWA 2013: Load unsafe script in Google Chrome when attempting to launch Edit in Office Web Apps 2013

Team
As we have On-Premises SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps 2013 server. SharePoint site is running over https and office web apps running over http. Everything seems to be correct and able to view documents in browser.
Once we tried to edit the document in browser (Chrome/IE and Firefox) we getting the pop up "Load unsafe script " in Chrome Firefox and in IE with "This page includes script from unauthenticated sources"
Please help me on this i tried to disable pop-up in chrome/IE/Firefox but did not get success in Chrome/Firefox and we can't do this on each and every machine.
Thanks Ranveer Katiyar

Use fiddler to analyse what is causing this issue. You can share traces with me as well.
It might some compatibility issue with browser
It may also be issue because you are trying to execute a HTTPS content in a HTTP online editing tool.

What can I do if I have changed my DVD regions 5 times but want to change it again

I have changed my DVD regions 5 times but want to change it again. How can I get back to my own region which is 2?

Sorry, not possible.
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
It may be possible to make your Matshita Superdrive region-free by the methods describe here:
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=43082
but please note: you USE THE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!. The operation isn't officially allowed or sanctioned, which you're supposed to know when you do it.
To make any free=standing DVD player region free, go here:
http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/info/multiregion/
In the meantime you can use VLC to play DVDs from any region.

I switched to excel services from office web app, and i want to revert my changes. remove-spwopisupressionSetting doesnt work!

I originally had excel web app working on prem, but since it didn't support powerview I tried my luck with excel services.
I switched to excel services by using the new-SPWOPISuppressionSetting cmdlet.
I figured to return to excel web app, I would just use the remove-SPWOPISupressionSetting cmdlet, but I removed the suppression setting and even reboot the server and it's still using excel services!
What do I have to do at this point, reinstall office web app completely? Its still working for word and powerpoint, why didn't it take back over for excel? Any tips?
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to
remove the suppression settings for excel.
I could try these point below:
1.
Test the issue with another browser.
2.
Test the issue with another computer.
3.
Try to clear the cookie of your browser and test your issue.
4.
Try restart the IIS with command iisreset.
Please try command
Get-SPWOPISuppressionSetting to get
all the suppression settings on the current SharePoint farm to check if the excel is suppressed or not. You could refer to this article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219445.aspx.
As word and PowerPoint work well, you could try command
Remove-SPWOPISuppressionSetting -Extension "XLSX" -Action "view" that you could refer to this article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219452.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.

Office Web App - Use for viewing but not for editing

Hello,
i'm searching for a possibility to use the web app server only for viewing documents but not for editing.
I want to accomplish this for docs and ppts.
So the possibility to edit in Web App should be greyed out or even better, vanish completely.
Best regards
Stephan

You can remove the bindings for OWA for some actions.

Office Web Apps - Preview not appearing when acccessing via HTTPS

I have installed Sharepoint 2013 and Office Web Apps, set the wopibinding, and set the wopizone to be https-external. Everything seems to work fine if accessing the web app using HTTP (can open, edit, preview office web app (WAC) documents)... but if
I access via HTTPS then I run into a mixed content error when trying to preview the WAC documents... I can open them and edit them without issue using office web apps inside the browser though just not preview.
If I select "New document" it also takes a while to load and displays a blank pop up window... assume it must be related
Error message:

Hi ,
Before you configure SharePoint 2013 to use Office Web Apps Server via HTTPS, make sure that you have set up Office Web Apps Server by following the steps in Deploy
a single-server Office Web Apps Server farm that uses HTTPS or Deploy a multi-server, load-balanced Office Web Apps Server farm
that uses HTTPS.

Office Web Apps 2013 installation issue in HTTPS

Hi,
I'm trying to install Office Web Apps Server in HTTPS mode but keep getting an error. When I run the command New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owaserver, it says "WARNING: The server did not repspond. Trying again (attempt 1of 5)." When I go into Event
Viewer, I see this error for each attempt:
An operation failed because the following certificate has validation errors:

I've installed the Root CA from the provider, registered the .cer files in CA -> Security -> Manage Trusts, and via PowerShell. I've reset IIS multiple times and rebooted the OWA server and the WFE. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the cert or a
SharePoint issue.
Thanks

Did you register your certificate with the New-OfficeWebAppsFarm command (-CertificateName) when you set up your Office Web Apps farm?

Office Web Apps - working in other browsers but not Internet Explorer

Hi there,
I have office web apps on my SharePoint 2013 environment. The previews work file when hovering next to a document but if I try to open it, I get "Sorry, we ran into a problem". It looks as though Excel files open okay but I
have tested Word and Powerpoint documents and I get this error. Also, it only appears to happen in Internet Explorer - Google Chrome and Firefox are okay. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice. I installed the hoftix (on the OWA server) and now it appears to really be broken - nothing is opening using office web apps anymore.
I found this blog with the same errors I am getting - I'm guessing I will need to uninstall etc. too??

Office Web Apps 2013 - Word app not working on Sharepoint 2013 but Excel does

Hi there!
We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.
We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.
We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:
* Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
* Installed the november update
* Restarted OWA server
* ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURL
https://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
* Restart-Service WACSM
- checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate
Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:
* Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
* New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
* Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”
Now here are the funny things:
* Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
* Word APP not working (screenshot)
* Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
* status of OWA is healthy

Hi,
The Friendly name field must be unique within the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store. In -CertificateName, enter the friendly name you gave your
certificate earlier.
Validate the configuration by navigating to the discovery URL of the Office Web Apps server. Like
https://xxx/hosting/discovery
Meanwhile, the issue is related to Lync, I recommend to you to post the question on Lync Server for further discussion via the link below.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=ocsclients
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction

Office Web Apps HTTPS setup

We are trying to setup SharePoint 2013 and WAC 2013 servers in a test lab that uses HTTPS to communicate, however we're experiencing issues trying to connect to it from SharePoint 2013. We setup the internal and external HTTPS urls on WAC and provide the
wildcard self-signed certificate, setting AllowHTTP to false, then rebooted. The bindings on the IIS Site then update to include 443.
However, when we try to create the wopizone on the SP box, using new-SPWOPIBinding -Servername xxx it can't seem to see the server properly. We get:
WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 1 of 5).
WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 2 of 5).
WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 3 of 5).
WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 4 of 5).

We've rebooted both boxes and can browse to https://xxx/hosting/discovery fine from the SP box. We've also checked the Certs and tried doing self signed certs for the FQDN instead of wildcards, with no effect.
We can't use HTTP in the test lab for WAC because SharePoint 2013 is using HTTPS. Is this a common issue and has anybody seen a fix for it?
Thanks,

Take a look at the following walkthrough. I suspect your problem is using self signed certs and wildcards. this article will give you the specifics.
