Internet access to new sharepoint foundation 2013 site collection

I had sharepoint 2010 installed on my WHS 2011. I successfuly created a new web application and site collection. I created a new SP default site on a port different from 80 and restarted the WHS 2011 default site in IIS. I could
see both the WHS 2011 and SP 2010 default sites from the server, my client PCs, and from my office. Great!
I uninstalled SP Foundations 2010 and installed SP Foundation 2013. I successfully created a web application on the same port I had used for SP Foundations 2010 because the firewall rule on my server and the port forwarding on my router
where already in place. I again restarted the WHS 2011 default site in IIS. I can see the WHS 2011 and SP 2013 Foundation default sites from the server and my client computers. However, I can't see the SP Foundation 2013 site from anywhere outsite
of my home network.
Help someone?

1. I removed the IIS bindings to port 80 for the home server default site. Now, I can reach my share point default site remotely on port 80 by going to
http://x.home server.com and I can reach the home server default site by going to
https://x.homesever.com/remote on port 443.
2. Using Power Shell I created 3 host named site collections. I put the URLs to those collections in the server hot's file and disabled loopback. I can see the sites on hte server. However, how do I make my sites accessible remotely or maybe the correct
term is publicly on computers outside the network?
3. I started down the road of host named site collections because I want to make them accessible remotely or publicly without using the x.home server.com domain name. However, I am starting to think that I am missing an important piece to making this work.
Thanks

  • Error Accessing Host Named Site Collections In SharePoint Foundation 2013

    We have a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 server that has one web application two host named site collections. We get the "This page can't be displayed" message when we try to navigate to either of the site collections. Adding the server's IP to
    the host file on the machine we are testing from doesn't help. We can ping the new sites from that machine. The web application does not have a host header.
    Web application URL = http://servername
    Site collection #1 URL = http://customer.company.com
    Site collection #2 URL = http://vendor.company.com

    Hi,
    I recommend to verify the things below:
    Check if site can be accessed with site collection administrator.
    Add the SharePoint sites to a trusted zone to see if the issue still occurs.
    As this issue can be caused by many reasons, you may check the ULS log for more detailed errors.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    Best regards.

  • Newsfeed with SharePoint Foundation 2013

    Hi,
    I want to have a couple of news feeds on my SharePoint Foundation 2013 Sites. I want everyone to comment on these news feeds. Which list/web part would do the best jobs?
    Each individual user should have the ability to have an aggregated view of a subset of these feeds. Which technology would be available for this?
    Thanks for any advice

    If you are looking for utilizing the OOB features of SharePoint Foundation, Discussion board is the only option which provides commenting on items.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2013 User field issue

    Guys, I have an issue with Sharepoint Foundation 2013 site that we have created some custom workflows for. We have a couple required fields that we type in a users name and it automatically pulls up a user based on Active directory. once we choose that name
    and then save the form. the field immediately becomes blank when i open the workflow item back up. I'm kind of at a loss. I've already totally hosed the server once and was forced to restore.  This seams to have started when we installed share point server
    patch KB2881077 but i cannot uninstall or roll back the patch as there is no option to.
    Thoughts?

    If you're using SharePoint 2013 April 2013 CU or higher, this is a known issue where the People data is missing in Edit view. There is a separate issue that is resolved in the September 2014 CU:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2995905
    Consider the following scenario:
    You create a SharePoint 2013 list that contains a Person or Group (people picker) column.
    You create or edit an item, and then you select a person whose name contains a comma in the Person or Group field.
    In this scenario, the value of the Person or Group field is lost when you save the item.

  • 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.

  • Sharepoint foundation 2013 : After doing backup cannot access the site "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you"

    I am using SharePoint Foundation 2013 , i have backed up the site using powershell with the following command:
    -backup-spsite -identity http://dmsserver/sites/demo/ -path C:\SPSiteBackup.bak
    After backup finished, i can't access the site, the message "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you" appears, even the site administrator collection is configured coorectly, with the  Administrator account.
    Whats the problem?
    Please Advice.

    Hi husseinsa,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not access the site after backing up the site collection in SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
    Could you access other sites at the same site collection?
    Let’s do a troubleshooting for this issue:
    Please delete the IE cache:  IE options->General->Delete, select all checkboxes, and click Delete.
    Go to CA->Application Management->Manage web applications, select the web application which hosts the problematic site .
    Click Permisson Policy, make sure there are not any deny policies for site collection administrator and site collection auditor.
    Back to the web application list page, click User Policy, check whether there are any user policies for denying permissions.
    Change the site collection administrator or add a secondary site collection administrator in CA, then use the new site collection administrator to log in the site, compare the result.
    Open IIS, expand the server, and click application pools.
    Find the problematic web application pool, make the identity of the pool is correct, then do an IISRESET, compare the result.
    If this issue still exists, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is
    : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    Or you can use Event Viewer(Start->Run->event viewer) to find the log.
    I hope this helps.

  • Users in new OU in Active Directory have to enter credentials when accessing SharePoint Foundation 2013

    Hi,
    We have a SharePoint farm consisting of one web front end server and one database server, running SharePoint Foundation 2013.  This farm has been up and running for over a year and uses AD for authentication, and SharePoint groups for authorization.
    The problem we are seeing is when we create a new Organizational Unit in AD, and add users under this new OU they are prompted for their credentials when trying to access SharePoint.  We've done the below tests to narrow the issue down:
    1) New user (xxx) in new OU (111) logs into Windows PC and tries to access SharePoint via IE 10 -- they are prompted for their credentials. They are required to enter their username as 'domain\username' to be able to log in successfully to SharePoint.
    2) Existing user (yyy), in existing OU (222) logs into same Windows PC and tries to access SharePoint via IE 10 -- they are NOT prompted for their credentials and get into SharePoint successfully.
    3) Existing user (yyy) is moved into new OU (111), logs into same Windows PC and tries to access SharePoint via IE 10 -- they are prompted for credentials and need to use 'domain\username' to log in to SharePoint
    4) Existing user (yyy) is moved out of new OU (111) and back into their old OU (222), logs into same Windows PC and tries to access SharePoint via IE 10 -- they are prompted for credentials and need to use 'domain\username' to log in to SharePoint
    Note: both the new OU (111) and old OU (222) are within the same parent OU.
    1 & 2 combined tell me that it's not a PC or IE issue. We've also tried 1 & 2 on multiple PCs so that would eliminate a profile issue as well.
    To me it seems that SharePoint doesn't know that the new OU is in our domain, so it doesn't think the users within the new OU are in our domain, which is why they have to supply the domain with their username when logging in...but I'm not exactly an expert
    when it comes to AD so this is just a guess on my part.
    As a long shot, what I thought may fix it would be by syncing AD with SharePoint by using User Profile Synchronization, but it's not offered as part of SharePoint Foundation, so I used this nice solution at CodePlex (https://foundationsync.codeplex.com/),
    but that did not fix it.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?  Or what the issue may be?
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    Hi Christopher,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I feel very stupid right now -- I did look at this before posting this question to the forum, but it seems I didn't look far enough. 
    We have a GPO that enters our domain into the 'Local intranet' of IE.  Our SharePoint site's URL is "http://sharepoint.ourdomain.com" and we've got "*.ourdomain.com" under Local intranet sites.  But, I also found the FQDN "sharepoint.ourdomain.com"
    under 'Trusted sites' and that seems to confuse SharePoint because once I moved the FQDN to Local intranet, and removed it from Trusted Sites, the user is now not prompted for their credentials when going into SharePoint.
    Thanks for your reply in making me take a second look.
    EDIT: We've just removed the FQDN from Local intranet, so all we have is "*.ourdomain.com" under Local intranet and it works as well.
    Regards,
    Shaun

  • Site Login Behavior For SharePoint Foundation 2013 Users With Expired Passwords?

    What are the most user-friendly ways of getting external users with expired AD passwords back into the SharePoint site with a new working password?
    We already send automated email notifications to users reminding them to change their soon-to-expire passwords.  However, sometimes they miss seeing the email notifications before the password expires (such as after returning from vacation or just carelessness
    and lack of attention to email messages) or they see the warning messages and forget to act on it.
    When this happens and they try to log into the SharePoint site from the Internet, their login fails without telling the user the reason they can't log in is because their password expired.  So, they end up confused and call the help desk to get their
    password reset.
    Is there a way to set up SharePoint Foundation 2013 login in a similar way to the OWA login so that, when a user with a correct but expired password tries to log in, it gives them a prompt to set a new password right there rather than just an error indicating
    their login failed for unknown reasons or password is "incorrect?"

    It could be done. You get a different event log entry for an expired login attempt than for a wrong password, 4625 events denote a login failure and an error ID of 23 denotes a logon failure.
    A naff, but simple, approach would be to create a tool that checks your server logon event log for 4625 entries and then emails that user, or the help desk, or security, that they're trying to get onto your system with expired credentials.
    For a more polished experience you've got a lot more work and bluntly it's going to be impractical for you. You'd have to re-write sections of the SharePoint authentication process or intercept the process, both are risky and not a good idea to try.
    There's a really interesting paper here that might be of interest, it won't help you in your current situation but it might shed more light on the overall authentication/authorisation process.

  • "An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files" connecting site with SharePoint Designer

    I have a SharePoint 2013 environment with 1 AD Server, 1 DB Server and 1 APP Server, with 13 Web Applications running under the SharePoint.
    Recently I rebuilted the application because of some infrasctrucutre problems, and I was able to solve all of them, except one. I can't connect to any of those 13 Web Apps with SharePoint Designer. When I try to connect, it always ask credentials, then it
    seems like loading the site, then the error appears:
    "An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files. Authors - if you are authoring against
    a Web server, please contact the Webmaster for this server's Web site. WebMasters - please see the server's application event log for more details."
    I've spent hours troubleshooting it, but none of the information I found was valid. I've already tried to clean the cache, but didn't work. I found plenty of related data of this
    error with FrontPage and old versions of SharePoint, but nothing helped. All the Web Apps are SPD-Enabled at Site Collection Administration. I've tried connecting from many different PC's. The 15/LOGS folder doesn't get any data from this error, neither the
    Event Viewer.
    I really don't know what else to do. Please Help!

    I found the answer of my issue was in a .NET Agent installed by NewRelic on the server. I found a connection trouble with Fiddler, then I end up figuring this out:
    This can be the result of Real User Monitoring so the first step in troubleshooting would be to disable it and see how it affects the application. The .Net Agent injects snippets of javascript into the header of pages sent to the users browser to measure the
    page load time on the user's end.
    You can disable RUM by editing newrelic.config and changing this line:
    <browserMonitoring autoInstrument="true"/>
    to this:
    <browserMonitoring autoInstrument="false"/>

    Hi Reinhard ,
    According to your error message, it says that no data is available after  encoding the social notification mail message. It  should be caused by the E-Mail encoding setting.
    For troubleshooting your issue, please check the character set of your E-Mail Settings:
    Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group.
    On the Central Administration Home page, click System Settings.
    On the System Settings page, in the E-Mail and Text Messages(SMS) section, click Configure outgoing e-mail settings.
    On the Outgoing E-Mail Settings page, make sure
    Character set setting is  65001(Unicode UTF-8).

  • Anonymous Access Sharepoint Foundation 2013

    Is it possible to allow anonymous access in Sharepoint Foundation 2013?  I've enabled anonymous access at the site level as well as via central administration but users are still prompted for login when browsing to the site anonymously.  I'm
    more curious if this is an issue with the Foundation version specifically at this point.  Thanks.

    Hi mtrosper,
    Please disable anonymous access via the UI, then enable it using PowerShell, compare the result.
    You can use the following PowerShell command to enable it:
    $webApp = Get-SPWebApplication 'http://someurl:9999'
    $webApp.IisSettings['Default'].AllowAnonymous=$false
    $webApp.update()

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 Feature Pack and Site Templates

    I have created a site using a site subscription and a SharePoint Foundation 2013 Feature Pack ( used the SP Foundation Feature Pack Script here http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/SharePoint-2013-Foundation-d3d1637f that
    was created by Spencer Harbar)
    When I go to create a sub-site, there are 3 site templates that are available that strictly speaking should not be for Foundation edition. When I try and create sites using those I get errors because the features needed from them are not part of the subscription.
    The site templates available are:
    Collaboration > Project Site
    Enterprise > Document Center
    Enterprise > Records Center
    Does any one know why these would be displaying?

    Hello, if I remember correctly the issue was that I created the form with InfoPath 2013 and was trying to test using InfoPath 2010. This does not work.
    Did you create the form using InfoPath 2013?

  • MasterPages and SharePoint foundation 2013

    Hi
    I have created a web application in SharePoint Foundation 2013. I also have created multiple subsite.
    I want to change the visual (branding) of the website (and all subsites).
    I have created a custom masterpage and wanted to set it as the default master page. But when I do that, everything is now set with that custom masterpage (even the site setting pages, the viewlsts.aspx, settings.aspx).
    Is there a way to bind masterpages only with the content pages of my website ?
    Any links for info about that ?
    Thanks
    Richard Martin Web Developer / BI Developer

    Hi  marric01,
    All of the site setting pages, the viewlsts.aspx and settings.aspx is the application page. An application page is an ASP.NET Web page that is designed for
    use in a SharePoint Web site. Application pages are stored on the file system of the front-end Web server in the %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS directory and exist for every site in a Web application.
    This folder is mapped to an Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual directory called _layouts. Every site and subsite will have access to the application pages by using the _layouts virtual directory. 
    The scenario you have seen is what SharePoint will do when set the master page through Site Settings->Master page. All the pages on the site will apply this master page. 
    The settings.aspx, viewlsts.aspx and upload.aspx. etc. are application pages, the difference between application page and content page is that: application page store in server 15/Template/Layouts folder, all applications in the SharePoint farm use the same
    application page, while content page store in content database, each site use a unique page of them, you can update the page content in different site as you like.
    SharePoint by default doesn’t provide a method to set different master page for application pages, and this is not recommended, even if you can change this through update the page directly in the layouts folder, whenever you change it, it will affect the whole
    SharePoint farm, on all web applications.
    If you really need to this, I would suggest you to custom the ribbon button to direct to your custom specific application page like settings page. The concern by doing this is the default settings page is still available, and if users access the page by typing
    the url directly, he will see the default settings page.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the information. While waiting for help with this forum, I was playing with SharePoint Foundation 2013 and SharePoint designer 2013. I saw that I can bind custom masterpage for each page that I create.
    (Style => Attach => Custom masterpage)
    I also managed to bind subsite pages to that same custom masterpage. 
    Is this a good way to customize the look and feel of my SharePoint foundation 2013 website (We are building a small intranet for about 100 person).
    Users are only gona be able to modify content inside the pages. We are (IT dept) the only one that can modify structure, add new pages and modify the look for the website.
    Thanks again !
