Office Web Apps 2013 Error 500

Below I configured Office Web Apps 2013, on 2 servers,
SharePoint 2013 SP1 Enterprise Edition August 2014 CU on Microsoft Windows Server 2013 R1
SP2013ServerWFE-AppServer
Office Web Apps 2013 August 2014 CU on Microsoft Windows Server 2013 R1
OFFICEWEBAPP2013SERVER
After my install, I can see that the preview displayes for the site I am on I am NOT logged on as the System Account or Site Collection Admin, just a user.
I then try to display the file below it and this is where I get the error 500
This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.
The website cannot display the page
These are the steps that I have just taken to try to enable this process.
I went to SP2013ServerWFE-AppServer – SharePoint 2013 Server
SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as Admin
Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
Went to OFFICEWEBAPP2013SERVER – Office Web Apps 2013 server.
PowerShell, as Admin.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm –Verbose –InternalUrl "http://SP2013ServerWFE-AppServer" -ExternalUrl "http://SP2013ServerWFE-AppServer" -AllowHTTP –EditingEnabled
–ClipartEnabled -AllowCEIP
On the OFFICEWEBAPP2013SERVER server, open up IE
NETBIOS
http://OFFICEWEBAPP2013SERVER/hosting/discovery
FQDN
http://OFFICEWEBAPP2013SERVER.COMPANY.DOMAIN.local/hosting/discovery
Both worked!
Go to SP2013ServerWFE-AppServer – SharePoint 2013 Server
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName OFFICEWEBAPP2013SERVER –AllowHTTP
Worked, ran:
Get-SPWOPIZone
Set already but if needed to, could have changed, kept it as was below.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "Internal-http"
Now I get the error. Am I missing something?

Get-OfficeWebAppsMachine
MasterMachineName             MachineName                   Roles
HealthStatus
2013OWAOFFWA01                 2013OWAOFFWA01                 {All}
Unhealthy
It shows unhealthy, thanks to your having me check.
I just went and did Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine and
Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true and then tried what I have in my original post. Not sure why it is saying unhealthy!
Excel Calculation Services is running, I know that that will cause an issue with Excel Services and Excel Web Apps. Testing with Word Documents, and or putting in SharePoint to get to the main page, to see an image rendition in search.
I went to open a word document as search gave me an error message, so I thought I'd try, but I didn't see it in office web apps ULS but on SharePoint 2013

Office Web Apps 2013 Error

Hi all,
Currently we are facing a problem in our Sharepoint 2013 environment with Office Web Apps Server.
Initially we connected the Office Web Apps farm to the Sharepoint farm and it worked well, but suddenly, we are not able to see the previews of the documents in the hover pannel or openning the documents in a new window or same window (doesn´t matter). We
receive the following error message:
Sorry, something went wrong
An error has occurred on the server.
This with a correlation error code, if we search this error code in Sharepoint we find the following information:
WOPIFrame - Unhandled exception: System.ServiceModel.CommunicationObjectFaultedException: The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ConfigurationChannelFactory`1[Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityServices.IApplicationSecurityTokenServiceContract], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state. at System.ServiceModel.Channels.CommunicationObject.ThrowIfDisposed() at System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory.EnsureOpened() at System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory`1.CreateChannel(EndpointAddress address, Uri via) at Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityServices.SPApplicationSecurityTokenServiceClient.GetInternalAppStsChannel() at Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityServices.SPApplicationSecurityTokenServiceClient.<>c__DisplayClass2.<RequestSelfIssuedToken>b__0()

anyone has faced a problem like that?
Thanks in advance

Stephan,
1. with the Get-OfficeWebAppsMachine command I can see that Health Status report as Unhealthy, but the reason for that is the certificate, it does not include the fqdn of the office web apps machine (Yes, I know that this is not the optimal configuration)
2. If we try to navigate trought the URL
https://..../hosting/discovery it shows the xml file of the owa server, no problem here
3. Get-spwopibinding shows all the bindings configured as default, we haven't done changes here
4. get-spwopizone = external-https the sharepoint platform is published as extranet trought a TMG, office documents can be accessed externally by WOPI server
5. I have tried both methods, with true and false with the same result, I have tried to reboot several times the WOPI server.
And for the final question, yes I have checked the event logs, but shows nothing, I think that is more a problem of Sharepoint previews than other problems

Office Web Apps 2013 not loading Power Point

I installed Office Web Apps (2013) patched on a 2012 R2 server and I am having issues loading a power point onto the stage in a conference. It says "Loading..." for a few minutes and then eventually says "Either you've lost network connectivity
or our server is too busy to handle your request. Please check your network connection and try again later." Se the error below

Office Web Apps 2013

I've got a brand new Exchange 2013 CU2 farm set up, 2 CAS servers and 2 mailbox servers in a DAG and I'm trying to add an Office Web Apps 2013 server into the mix. First, can someone give me a reason why we would want or need an Office Web Apps server, if
all that's integrating with it is Exchange? From what I've read, it only offers Office document previews, but it appears to already have that functionality. Does it offer editing capability?
Second, I've followed all the guides I can find on integrating OWA (there has to be a better acronym for this) and Exchange, but I'm still getting errors when I try to preview an attachment.
For Word, it says "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document." For Excel, it gives an ASP-style error that says "Server Error in '/x' Application" behind the words "Excel Web App" and a continuous progress bar.
For Powerpoint, it says "Sorry, we couldn't open this presentation because we ran into a problem."
I've tried building a new OWA server, running 2012 R2 and all the updates, and the only commands I've run on the OWA server are "New-OfficeWebAppsFarm", giving the internal URL, the external URL, enabling editing, and giving the friendly name of
the certificate (which is a valid cert). On the Exchange side, I've run "Set-OrganizationConfig -WACDiscoveryEndpoint 'https://fqdn-of-owa-server'" and "Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -WacViewingOnPublicComputersEnabled $true -WacViewingOnPrivateComputersEnabled
$true -ForceWacViewingFirstOnPublicComputers $true -ForceWacViewingFirstOnPrivateComputers $true" for both CAS servers.
I've also tried it from different browsers, and added the OWA URL to the Trusted Sites in IE10 and IE11, but no dice.
Am I missing something? Even if I get the integration to work, what benefit does it give me?

Hi,
Office Web Apps Server Integration

Office web apps 2013 March update 2013....pdf preview

the web application is configured as permissive.
I did the following
Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
updated with the march 2013.
restarted the office web apps 2013 server.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "https://owa.domain.com" -ExternalUrl "https://owa.domain.com" –CertificateName "*.domain.is" -EditingEnabled
New-SPWOPIBinding –ServerName "OWA.domain.is" -Application WordPDF
word / excel preview works
(Invoke-WebRequest
https://wac.contoso.com/m/met/participant.svc/jsonAnonymous/BroadcastPing).Headers["X-OfficeVersion"]
gives an error
PDF does not open in browser.
The updates in January were installed automatically.
Is that maybe the problem?
I have seen this:
http://www.wictorwilen.se/sharepoint-2013-enabling-pdf-previews-with-office-web-apps-2013-march-2013-update

Is it not working only for PDF files? I only used the zone external-https as an example so please confirm that you set the right binding. After all applications have the correct binding you need to create a result type for PDFs:
Site Settings > (Search) Result Types and then finding the PDF Result Type. Choose to Copy the Result Type.
Give the new Result Type an appropriate name, “PDF with Preview” for instance. Then scroll down to Actions and in the “What
should these results look like?” drop-down, choose to use the Word Display Template.

We are trying to setup a new server (Server 2012 R2 Datacenter) (Servername: TEST022.domain.dom) to run Office Web Apps 2013 in our TEST environment to test the system before rolling in production and have had issues throughout the entire process.
The technet articles we have used are:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219435.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219627.aspx
We finally have what I thought was a correct setup but anytime we try to edit or view a word, excel, powerpoint document within SharePoint 2013, we receive "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening
the document in Microsoft Word."
We found a few How-To Setup Office Web Apps sites where other people provided step-by step instructions:

We reviewed the ULS logs and found the following error:

None of the article provide specific step-by-step instructions with using HTTPS in a test environment specifically when it comes to Self-Signed Certs through Active Directory Certificate Services.
We tried creating a Self-Signed Cert through IIS on the Office Web Apps Box which did not work.
We tried creating a Cert through Active Directory Certificate Services which did not work.
We tried adding the Cert through Central Admin > Security > Manage Trust which did not help.
We verified "get-spwopizone" is set to internal-https
We can access the Web Apps https://test022/hosting/discovery site and view the XML with no issue on any machine on our network.
We added our domain to the list of approved domains that can use Office Web Apps as well as add "Domain Users" as the security group that can "EDIT" Office Documents through Office Web Apps.
After each step, we tried performing either a system reboot or IIS Reset on the Office Web Appcs and WFE box.
My Question is how do we generate a certificate (either self-signed through IIS on the Office Web Apps Box or through AD) that will allow this application to work? I read that the Fully Qualified Domain Name needs to be in the SAN field of the Cert but when
we request it, I have no way of entering this information. I tried following http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625722 to manually request a certificate with a Custom SAN but that did not work either.
I am assuming the certificate issue is with the New Office Web Apps box. Is this correct?
-Chris

If internal cert then you will have to add certificate from OWA to tursted certificates in each sharepoint server plus add the certificate from central admin in Sharepoint through manage trust. Also you will need to install p7b file (file that contains
path to root certificate to verify each intermediate certificate) for internal cert to each sharepoint server to not get certificate error.

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.

Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 Server

Hi All,
I have installed a separate server for Office Web Apps 2013 on Windows Server 2012 VM. I have followed TechNet's article on
Deploying Office Web Apps Server & exactly followed steps.
On SharePoint Server 2013 (Windows Server 2012), I followed TechNet’s article on
Configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint. The Office Web Apps on SharePoint 2013 environment works for
Excel document that shows “View in Browser” but
no Preview.
However, PowerPoint and Word documents doesn’t show “View in Browser”. I thought Internet Explorer 10 has some issue with Office Web Apps and checked on Chrome and results were same.
On SharePoint Server 2013 environment, I have configured 3 services applications, MMS, UPS and Excel Service.
1.) Do I need any other service applications to be enabled for OWA 2013?
I read number of blogs,
Installing Office Web Apps Server for SharePoint 2013 (Steve Mann),
Install Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 (Max Melcher) and Spence Harbar
(Enabling Office Web Apps Preview editing with SharePoint 2013). and all these blogs give more or less same steps that I have followed.
Strange thing is that Excel documents on my SharePoint 2013 sites are working but neither word or PowerPoint documents are not showing option for “View in Browser”.
I am using HTTP and not HTTPS.
2. Can someone please advice how could I solve the Office Web Apps 2010 on Word and PPT?
3. How to can enable preview for Excel, Word and PPT documents.
Thanks you.
Regards,
Aroh

Hi Inderjeet and Olafur,
Thanks for your reply.
@Inderjeet: That site collection feature on SP2010 works on our production environment but on SP2013 site collection there is no OWA feature. Microsoft recommends to have a separate OWA2013 server and what I create
a separate VM for OWA2013 server.
@Olafur: Your suggestion looks spot on. The OWA server does show the discovery:
Our SP2013 development server has limited RAM (4GB) and it think is causing the issue.
Let me check if increasing RAM solves the issue.
Thanks again for your suggestions. (Interjeet and Olafur).

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.

Office web apps "Server error in '/wv' Application"

Hi, I successfully installed office web app for sharepoint 2013. However, when I tried to open documents, it shows the preview but once view/edit in browser, I got this error. What seems to be the problem?
Server error in '/wv' Application.
Unable to determine zone from request

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Server error in '/wv' Application. Unable to determine zone from request” when you open document using Office Web Apps.
Are you using https:// to access the Office Web Apps server? Is the default zone of your web application in Alternate Access Mappings using http:// ?
If so, you can change the default zone
of your web application in Alternate Access Mappings to use https:// .
Or set AllowOAuthOverHttp to true:
$config = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig)
$config.AllowOAuthOverHttp = $true
$config.Update()

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

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.

Office Web Apps 2013: SSLOffLoad, Cannot connect Sharepoint.

Hi,
Background.
We have a 2 machine SharePoint 2013 farm and a 2 machine Office Web Apps Farm, both of which are behind a load balancer. Our public DNS holds the records for the two farms: webapps.company.com and sharepoint.company.com. However these domains are not in
the internal DNS and cannot be resolved internally. I've put these in the hosts file on the respective machines, so they can talk to each other.
I'm now at the point where I need to connect SharePoint to the OWA farm. I've followed the guide here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455%28v=office.15%29.aspx
and setup the OWA farm by the specification under the heading "Deploy a multi-server, load balanced, office web apps server farm that uses HTTPS".
My creation string
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://machinename.domain.com -ExternalUrl https://webapps.comapny.com -SSLOffloaded -EditingEnabled
That went ok and the farm is created. I then added the second machine
New-OfficeWebAppsMachine -MachineToJoin "machinename.domain.com"
Now that the farm is created i went ahead and ran
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com
But that just gave me "WARNING: The Server did not respond. Trying again"
Adding the -AllowHttp flag let me continue, but that ended up giving me error when i created or opened a document in Sharepoint.
So my guess is that i need to figure out why i cannot use New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com without -AllowHTTP.
It was my understanding that we don't have to setup SSL on the individual farm server as the load balanser woudl take care of that.
Any ideas as to why New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com won't work?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post
Regards.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19039.sharepoint-2013-how-to-enable-office-web-apps-to-work-in-both-internal-and-external-environments.aspx
Because I’ve not configured my OWA machine to be published to the Internet so I have to use its Internet-public IP. It’s not a recommended best practice. In your case, the external URL would be http://owa.abc.com
. Above I’m not using SSL certificate
to encrypt data over the Internet. Just add CertificateName parameter if you want to use whether CA-issued certificate
or self-signed certificate. Finally, check both internal URL (http://app03/hosting/discovery
) and external URL (http://198.xxx.xxx.xxx/hosting/discovery
) to confirm everything is working
well. Your screen should display XML structure.
Now you need to re-bind all SharePoint machines to WAC farm using New-SPWOPIBinding (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219441.aspx
). Next, you just need to set the WOPI
zone for external use even there is an internal use in your SharePoint environment.
1
Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-http”
Finally, configure Excel service and then upload an Excel workbook into a document library and check it. Below are the screenshots of OWA working on both internal and external environment.

Office web app 2013 file not found

Hi,
Trying to access a document preview from sharepoint 2013 i get "file not found" from the office web app server.
In the OWA server uls logs I can see a messege "disk cache file not found" so i looked at the cachelocation and the renderinglocalcachlocation
directories and i can only find the doc preview files in the renderinglocalcachlocation dir.
I also made sure the identity of openfromurlhost and openfromurlweb application pools have access to this documend and i
run the openfromurlenable command.
any ideas ?
thanks.

Hi,
Try the following:
1- https://support.office.com/en-nz/article/Configure-disk-based-cache-settings-75429eaf-893a-4a27-bca7-bf75497091de
2-adding OWA
url to the "Trusted Sites".
3-Make sure you have followed the instructions for OWA installation configurations

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:
Subject Name: CN=<url>, OU=Domain Control Validated - RapidSSL(R), OU=See
www.rapidssl.com/resources/cps (c)12, OU=<OU>, SERIALNUMBER=<serial number>
Issuer Name: CN=RapidSSL CA, O="GeoTrust, Inc.", C=US
Thumbprint: <thumbprint>
Errors:
SSL policy errors have been encountered. Error code '0x2'..
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 2013 - Excel, fine, Word & Powerpoint, unable to view.

Hi All,
I am having an infuriating issue where by the following occurs when opening documents via OWA:
Excel - Preview, no problem, opening, no problem, editing, no problem (even when accessing oData connections for PWA).
Word - Preview, errors, opening, errors, editing (incredibly!!) works.
PowerPoint - Nothing works...
I think I have read every blog post on every error I am receiving in the ULS but nothing is resolving. It is on a VMware VM and I had to reinstall OWA after it was noted that it has rather surprising behaviour if OWA is not installed on the system drive.
I have installed each hotfix/update and tested after each with no joy...
Three (possibly misleading) error categories:
From OWA log:
Cannot create WOPI Proof Token - could not find valid old proof key;
From SP log:
WOPI Proof: Missing Header;
Useragent not available, file operations may not be optimized (doubt this is causing my problem but the quality of errors in the logs is so bad it may well be).
For context, the service account for OWA is local admin on the box and has full access to the content databases on the SQL server.
The symptoms of the error are the biggest concern given the degrees of success I am having with the different apps (kind of rules out security or setup if Excel works fine and Word sort of works).
Any help will be very much appreciated and may stop my increasing baldness with the amount of hair I am pulling out!!
Thanks in advance.
Sam

Hi Sam,
According to your description, my understanding is that Office Web Apps does not work for viewing Word & PowerPoint.
For troubleshooting your issue, please access the Office Web Apps Server discovery URL to verify that the Office Web Apps Server farm is working for Word & PowerPoint:
http://servername/hosting/discovery
Also please add the OWA url into your “Trusted Sites” in IE.
