Issue with office web apps sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document.

Hi All,
i am having issue when trying to open the word file using office web apps farm. i have multi-tier farm (2 wfe, 2 apps and 2 owa). is that something wrong with certificate or the way AAM configured. Can anyone give me some direction please?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you failed to open the word file using office web app.
Please open the word file using office web app in other SharePoint sites and test whether this issue occurs. Also, please test whether all words have this issue.
Please reset IIS on the OWA server.
Please disconnect the SharePoint Farm from Office Web Apps and reconnect it. Then check the WOPIZone and TMG server.
Please created certificate for your PC and update mappings of IP addresses.
Some useful posts for your reference:

  • Office Web Apps 2013 - Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word

    Hello
    I had configured Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013 which was working fine for about 2 months until this morning.
    The error message I get for WORD, PDF and Excel files is:
    The ULS logs on the WFE give me this:

    Hi Waqas
    Thanks for your help with this. I had a look at both posts, the URL works fine from the WAC server and I am not using a System account to test docs.
    Also, this is a production site that is accessible over the Internet, so we are using https therefore the WOPIZone is external-https.
    Issue #3 in the above blog link does not reflect the same error I see on my servers.
    I also had a look at the information in this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#oauth
    Problem: You receive a "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document" error when you try to view an Office document in Office Web Apps.
    If you added domains to the Allow List by using the
    New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet, make sure you’re accessing Office Web Apps from a host domain that’s in the Allow List. To view the host domains in the Allow List, on the Office Web Apps Server open the Windows PowerShell prompt as an administrator and run
    the Get-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet. To add a domain to the Allow List, use the
    New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet.
    I have not added any domains to the Allow list so this did not help either. Should I add the domain?
    Any further help with this is much appreciated.
    Thanks again.

    Has anyone else seen or have an idea on what the problem could be? 
    It's running on a server that has no SharePoint or SQL binaries installed, all on the same domain, including the win7 machine I am testing from with Office 2010.

    Sorry, I should have said that this is an HTTP connection, not an HTTPS.  There are no Certificates showing when I browse to the server.
    Additionally I found in the ULS logs on the server the line

  • SharePoint 2013 cannot view PDF documents in mobile browser with office web apps

    Hi,
    I'm receiving the following error when viewing SharePoint 2013 PDF documents in a mobile browser after clicking on the filename:
    "Viewing of .pdf files has been disabled in Microsoft Word Mobile Viewer. Please get in touch with your helpdesk."
    My Question
    Is viewing PDF documents in mobile browsers with Office Web Apps SP1 actually supported?  If so, how can I enable it?  I've already have pdf viewing working in non-mobile browsers. Word documents open just fine on mobile browsers too.
    I'm getting conflicting answers for pdf mobile viewing support from various sources:
    You've got Microsoft toting that they've added in PDF viewing on any device for Office Web Apps
    http://blogs.office.com/2013/07/03/pdfs-in-the-word-web-app/
    A MS support person saying saying it is not supported
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_web_apps_server_2013_support_blog/archive/2013/12/31/enabling-pdf-previews-in-document-libraries-with-office-web-apps-2013-in-sharepoint-2013-open-link-does-not-work-from-preview.aspx
    Another person implying that it should work because you can disable pdf browsing for mobile browsers only
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/07/24/control-whether-pdfs-open-in-word-web-app-or-the-default-pdf-reader.aspx
    What I've tried
    When I started looking into this there was a mobile WOPI entry:
    Application     : WordPdf
    Extension       : PDF
    ProgId          :
    Action          : mobileView
    IsDefaultAction : False
    ServerName      : 20SP8
    WopiZone        : internal-http
    I tried experimenting with tweaking this binding by changing the DefaultAction to true, and even removing it altogether via:
    Get-SPWopiBinding -Action "MobileView" -Application "WordPDF" | Remove-SPWopiBinding -Confirm:$false
    But I still get the same message.
    I removed all the WordPdf bindings and re-added them via:
    New-SPWOPIBinding –ServerName "<myserver>" –Application "WordPDF" -AllowHTTP
    No dice.  In fact the mobileview binding doesn't even come back... but I guess that is a different issue altogether.
    Version
    SharePoint 2013 (SP1)
    Office Web Apps Server (SP1)
    Farm Setup
    Internal facing only
    2 front end servers, 1 app server, 1 office web apps server

    I think the PDF support, if it exists, in only in Office 365. Always remember that the Office 365 and on premises versions will never be in sync. On premise is updated using periodic service packs and Office 365 has continuous updates. (I've heard every
    10 days.)
    In my Office 365 / IE 10 tests, the PDFs open in the browser's default PDF viewer, in my case FoxIt Reader. So I can't prove one way or the other about support in Office Web Apps.

  • When I tried to update my ipod touch, there was a problem and i don't get to restaure the softwere

    I was updating my ipod touch 64gb with the new operation softwere, there was a problem, and the itunes message showed that I had to restaure. When I try to restaure the follow message appear '' The apple site is not available" I tried to use the existent procedures without sucess. What sould I do?

    If the message said can not contact the update server:
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Otherwise I do not understand the problem.

  • Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

    Hi,
    I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
    The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
    Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
    If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
    The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
    In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
    While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
    Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Dear Wendy,
    Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
    Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
    Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
    - First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
    - The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
    - Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
    to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
    - Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
    I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
    - Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
    http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
    - I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
    I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

  • Is there any solution for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

    Hi there!
    Is there any solutions for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, there is no build-in feature that convert Office file to image format in Office web app yet.
    I'll collect the information, and submit it with internal ways. Then, we could also submit the feedback here:

  • Open Documents with Office Web App - SharePoint 2013

    We have configured Office Web App for our SharePoint 2013 Farm and in Site settings, Site Collection Features,  have disabled "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" . Out of 15 sites, all documents in 13 sites open in Office
    Web App. One of the 2 sites where the document still open using Client Application is a Wiki site.
    Advanced propertied for the libraries settings has been set to "Use the server default (Open in the browser)". Anything else to check to open documents in Office Web App?
    Thanks
    MP

    Hi,              
    As I understand, you encountered the issue when you want to open documents with Office Web App.
    Check things below:
    1. In the library setting->advanced setting, you can choose the open in the browser to see if the same situation will occur.
    2. Check if you have not enable the Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature.
    If you choose Activate to enable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the client application), or
    Deactivate to disable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the browser).
    You can go to Site setting->site collection administration->site collection feature->Open
    Documents in Client Applications by Default to set the feature.
    The article below is about how to set the default open behavior for browser-enabled documents.

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

  • Word Web App (2013) can't open this document ... Because the service is busy

    I have just set up Office Web Apps Server in a SharePoint 2013 test environment as per document here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx
    Although I had some issues with Excel Web App at first, I've solved this and excel seems to work ok, However, the Word Web App just sits there spinning and ultimately give the error dialog:
    "Sorry, Word Web App can't open this document because the service is busy. Please try again later"   The Same link as above has a simple solution :
     Did you install Office Web Apps Server on a domain controller? Office Web Apps Server cannot run on a domain controller. Office Web Apps Server must be installed on a separate server that is part of a domain. For more information, see
    Software, hardware, and configuration requirements for Office Web Apps Server.
    I certainly did not install on a DC - its a standalone server.
    ULS Logs are growing by 2K per second even when I am not doing anything on the server.
    VERY FRUSTRATED!

    So after further research we have found the following:
    Un-bind and unindstall Web Application Server
    Clean Server
    Reinstall (by Mistake to the C: Drive)
    Bind and Provision
    WOW it works!
    Un-bind, deprovision, Uninstall, Web Application Server
    clean Server
    Re-install to the D: Drive
    Provision and Bind
    wow - it DOES NOT work
    Again - repeat the first scenario
    and once again IT WORKS
    SO Why doesn't it work on the D Drive - We've checked IIS Setting and Permission - there don't seem to be any differences.
    SO - Why isn't this working when changing the default installation location, is it just me?   Has anyone gotten this working installing to another drive?
    Thanks

    It worked for some time, less than a week, I made phone calls and all, and all of a sudden the problem mentioned above happened. Now I can't make any phone calls. I can go online with it, even with my Data plan, I can go to the app store (of course) but can't make any phone calls.
    Please help, this is frustrating.

    Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned here? http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
    Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple lo comes up again. You will not lose any data doing this.

  • I was sent a .pages doc.  When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?

    I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x?  If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1.  Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1.  5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format.  Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents.  Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.
