SharePoint 2013 and MS Office Web Apps - error in sharepoint's url calls OWAps

I have new SharePoint 2013 Server farm and one dedicated Office Web Apps (OWAps) server.
This farm is placed in one domain (Acompany.local). There is other domain BCompany.local whitch has both trusted to first domain (two diffirent forests, two company's branches).
Users from second domain BCompany.local well see intranet portal, build in sharepoint in the first domain (url like http://intranet.Acompany.local).
But, when they try to use OWAps, f.e. whatching preview or try to open docs for edit in browser - they see error in frame.
I'm looked it in google chrome's developer tools and find' that sharepoint use wrong url to call OWAps - like http://owaps/... instead of http://owaps.Acompany.local/...
When I created new office web app farm by:
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL "http://owaps.Acompany.local" - ExternalURL "http://owaps.Acompany.local" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
And in sharepoint farm new SWOPI binding by:
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName "http://owaps.Acompany.local" -AllowHTTP
Get-SPWOPIBinding tell that all SWOPI bindings are http://owaps.Acompany.local, but in devtools I continue to see wrong http://owaps/... url
Any idea to fix this behavior?

The reason WAC is recommended to be installed on a dedicated server is that it recreates the IIS sites/settings. This is why you're seeing the setting reset itself after restart.
What I'd probably recommend is creating a script that queries the WAC URL on a regular basis.

  • Office web apps Server for Sharepoint 2013

    Hello,
    I used the following article to install office web apps server and hook it up to a test sharepoint server:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455(v=office.15).aspx. The OWAS service was verified as working by loading:
    https://owas.companyname.com/hosting/discovery
    For the sharepoint configuration phase, the following commands were run on the sharepoint machine:
    1) New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName "owas.companyname.com"   -- (owas.companyname.com) is the host name of the owas server)
    2) Get-SPWOPIZone
    3) Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-https"
    However, office documents are still launching in the desktop office applications, not in the browser. Any ideas of what else I may need to do?
    thanks,
    Sherazad

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you fail to configure Office Web Apps for your SharePoint 2013.
    How about run Get-SPWOPIZone? If you can get a result, it says that your  SharePoint  have connected with Office Web Apps.
    Then you can run below command to  change the zone to internal-https.
    Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "internal-https"

  • Using Office Web Apps Server with SharePoint Foundation 2013

    I want to know whether I can configure Office Web Apps server to edit Excel documents on a SharePoint Foundation 2013 site.
    I came across a TechNet article that states that "When used together with SharePoint Server 2013, Office Web Apps Server provides updated versions of Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App".
    However, later in the same article, it states "If your organization licenses Office 2013 through a Volume Licensing program, you can enable Office Web Apps editing for SharePoint 2013 on-premises" (without mentioning Foundation or Server).

    Hi Lemesnil,
    The Office Web App server should support the Edit licenses for SharePoin Foundation 2013, Office Web App is free to
    download, you can also try installing and configuring in a test environment, see more from the below article applied to SharePoint Foundation 2013.

  • Office Web Apps Error

    hi -
    I have Office Web Apps 2013 installed and configured on my dev server.  It's set to allow HTTP.
    When I try to preview a Word document, the frame displays the following message:
    This content cannot be displayed in a frame. 
    To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame.
    According to this
    link, low memory conditions can cause this error in the preview.  I have checked that and we are OK with memory.
    For Excel documents, I get the following error in preview:
    The website cannot display the page
    Most likely causes:
    •The website is under maintenance.
    •The website has a programming error.

    HI,Seems to be issue with the connection between sharepoint and office webapp.Check the below URL to get the connection successed and work succesfully.

  • Office Web Apps 2010 on SharePoint 2010 site running in SharePoint 2013?

    We're in the process of moving a SharePoint 2010 site over to SharePoint 2013.  The SharePoint 2010 site is using classic authentication, and it's not in scope to update this to claims-based authentication.
    I'd like to continue running the site in SharePoint 2010 mode without upgrading it to 2013.  In this case, can I continue to use Office Web Apps 2010 for this SP2010 site?  I've already installed Office Web Apps 2013 on another server but just
    read that it needs claims-based authentication.

    If you want to use OWA once the site has been moved to 2013 you will need to change the web application to use Claims. OWA in 2013 requires that and will not work in classic mode.

  • Office Web Apps Error after SP 2013 September 2014 CU

    Hello  Everyone,
    I have a single front end and single SQL server for my SharePoint 2013 deployment.  I also have Office Web Apps setup and running.  However after installing SP 1 and the latest September 2014 CU it appears our users are seeing the below prompt
    when open a Word doc in Office Web Apps.
    However I am finding that if they use IE 9 or 10 and even Firefox everything works normal.  This appears to be affecting just Word.
    As for my Office Web Apps server it is still at Version 15.0.4420.1017 (RTM) 
    If I need to update my Office Web Apps server what order should i do.  SP1, July, then Sept?  
    Thanks,
    Ian...

    You need to apply office web app update. 
    It should be in below order.

    Connected to VLCS, I'm trying to find the download from the tree / using filter..... I'm not finding anything.
    Was the product renamed / not available at this time ?

    sachin

    Hi sachin,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you created a new document using OWA in the extended zone with FBA.
    The issue stems from SharePoint and is due to an error in the access token generation when a user tries to load a document in the Office Web Apps.
    The current workaround is to configure FBA authentication in the Default zone of the effected web application.
    More information, please refer to the link:

  • Office Web App error - unable to open PDF after multiple trials

    Hi, we are using Office Web App server 2013 on win server 2012 (NO Sharepoint installed) to preview files (doc, docx, pdf, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx), OWA is set as http, wopihost
    is http as well under different from HTTP80, HTTP809 application pool
    File conversion if fine for small files and large files to some point - we can process same large pdf (100MB) 30-50 times, but after that there is a message
    "Sorry, Word Web App ran into
    a problem opening this document. To view this document please open it in Microsoft Word."
    Server has plenty of free space, PerfMon
    does not show spikes, no memory spikes in Process Manager. ULS logs do not provide any good info either...
    No errors in event log under Applications,
    System, or Microsoft Office Web Apps sections.
    That error will be shown if we process
    the same file. if try to process different file it works fine (again - few dozen times), but if after that I try to process first file - it shows error again.
    Documents
    are located on the same server as OWA installed, same machine has wopi site in non owa application pool (from Microsoft demo
    - C#)
    The only resolution i found is to reset
    WAC server from PowerShell or restart IIS - after that it starts to process original file...
    If I just recycle OWA application pools
    - HTTP80, HTTP809 it does not help. (tried to change Recycling condition in IIS for those pools - it slightly improves situation but does not resolve).
    I can reproduce such pattern with different file types, it just matter of number of hits.
    Same error present if we use OWA and wopi on machine as https with certificate.
    We use VerboseEx option for logging - no errors in ULS log files, but multiple Sync exiting
    early records similar to 
    Sync exiting early: LastSyncTime = 09/16/2014 14:52:07

    ---------------------------------There are some paired records
    Cached service list has 39 service instances before the update
    Cached service lists has 39 service instances after the update
    So it goes as follows: OWA processing all formats fine, after trying same 100mb pdf file 50 times (it is possible to get same error with docx, just bigger number of trials) it does not process that pdf file, but processes others.
    After IIS reset it works as usual again. After trying another 100mb pdf file 50-60 times OWA stops to process that another file... We are expecting large number of hits and resetting IIS every 30min is not a good solution...
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi ,
    Thank you for your post.
    Whether the issue occurs with different file types or only the PDF.
    Based on your description, when you reset WAC server from PowerShell or restart IIS, the issue is solved temporarily.
    I recommend that you check the application account, re-enter the account, then reset the IIS.
    whether the issue occurs with different file types or only the PDF.

  • Office Web App error

    I have setup my Office Web App Environment following the following article. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#oauth
    This is a production environment with HTTPS.  I can go to
    https://URL/hosting/discovery  and it pulls up the XML like it should.
    The setup seemed to go well but when I try to open the docs up from SharePoint I get he following errors.
    When opening a Word Doc: "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word"
    When opening a PowerPoint Doc: "Sorry, we couldn't open this presentation because we ran into a problem. Please try again."
    When opening a Excel Doc: "We couldn't find the file you wanted. It's possible the file was renamed, moved or deleted."
    I see suggestions for AllowOAthOverHttp but did not set this because it is HTTP.  I also have the zone set to external-HTTPS.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
    Thank you,

    Try to restart IIS. Then check if your domain
    is is allowed to connect with office web apps server by running Get-OfficeWebAppsHost
    cmdlet.
    If your domain is not the the allowed list, add it by New-OfficeWebAppsHost -Domain <String>.

  • Single Reverse Proxy and multiple Office Web App Servers

    Hi all,
    I have recently installed a new office web apps server pool in my new location and configured it in my Lync topology as well. 
    I have a single Reverse Proxy (IIS ARR). Inside my Reverse Proxy I have created a new web farm for my new web apps server. The configuration of old web apps server. I have copied the settings from my old web app's web
    farm in IIS including its Inbound rule regular expression.
    Now when I try to upload a powerpoint as an external guest hoping to hit my new web apps server, my reverse proxy tries to hit my old office web apps server and no traffic is sent from reverse proxy to new web apps. 
    my reverse proxy shows the health of the new farm as healthy.
    should the inbound rules be different for these farms in reverse proxy? 
    Any suggestions are welcomed.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    In addition to Luca's comment in order to determine if the farm is actually working correctly in the first instance, did you disable or remove the old server farm?
    Can you also confirm that there are no static routes in place on the IIS ARR box?
    Kind regards

  • Files are not getting updated in sharepoint 2013 because of office upload center error

    Dear Team,
    I am getting upload failed/upload error in Office Upload Center.
    Scenario: I opened excel(version is 2013) file from sharepoint 2013 application and closed and after updating. Later when I opened the file I got error like "UPLOAD FAILED We are sorry this didn't work. Try saving again later and if that still doesn't
    work, click save a copy."
    I found the error is because file is getting upload failed / upload error in microsoft office upload center2013. 
    Please let me know if anyone know the solution for my issues
    Thanks in Advance
    Girish

    Hi Girishkg,
    The default IIS limit for the upload file size is 30MB. If the selected files are larger than 30MB, the files are not uploaded.
    The limit can be set in web application’s web.config file or in IIS .
    There are two detailed articles about setting the limit:

  • Office web app error for one note only

    There is strange error in my SharePoint 2013 farm with OWA. Everything works fine except for one note.
    If you click in the notebook on the left hand side of the site, for first time everything works fine. When you try to click the same link second time, either server error comes up in chrome and nothing in IE. If i deactivate the web feature one note and
    reactivate it, it works again for first time and nothing comes up for the second time. Error i see is 
    WOPIFrame -Unhandled exception: System.TimeoutException: The open operation did not complete within the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. ---> System.TimeoutException: The read

  • Should the Edit in Browser link appear when Office Web Apps is read only?

    Hi,
    We have deployed an Office Web Apps farm in read only mode for licensing reasons.
    There is a binding between SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps farm, everything is working well, except the option to Edit Office documents using Office Web Apps is quite prominent on the ECB menus and document previews.
    Is anyone able to advise whether this is expected behaviour? When the link is clicked a friendly error message states that licensing doesn't support editing, which is correct. I'm just trying to see if the user experience can be improved by a setting that
    we've missed somewhere along the line.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Per my knowledge, if you have configured Office Web Apps for SharePoint, the Edit in Browser option will appear in the ECB menu regardless of the licensing of the Office Web Apps.
    So I recommend to use CSS code to hide the Edit in Browser option if you do not want the user to use it.
    Edit the page of the document library view page, and then add a Content Editor web part to the page.
    After that add the code below to the Content Editor web part:
    <style>
    a[Title="Edit in Browser"]{
    display:none !important;
    </style>
