Office Web Apps for Hosted Environments
Hi there,
I have a some servers that host two different SharePoint Farms and currently one is connected to an OWA server -
http://blogs.technet.com/b/justin_gao/archive/2013/06/30/configuring-office-web-apps-server-communication-using-https.aspx
I want my second farm to use OWA too and was wondering if it is possible to use the same OWA server for this? So, can I create two Office Web App Farms on the same server?
Yes you can use OWA for multiple environments. You can refer to below links:

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,
SherazadHi ,
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"

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:

Any idea what may have caused this issue all of a sudden?
Thank you.
YoshiHi 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 + could not establish trust relationship
We currently have a three tier SharePoint 2013 Farm:
1. Web Front End Server (Server 2008 R2 Enterprise) - Servername: TEST2SP013.domain.dom
2. Central Admin Server (Server 2008 R2 Enterprise) - Servername: TEST2SPCA013.domain.dom
3. SQL Server (Server 2012 Datacenter) - Servername: TESTSQL012.domain.dom
All Machines are in the same IP/Subnet.
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:
blogs.msdn.com/b/sowmyancs/archive/2012/10/29/install-configure-amp-monitor-office-web-apps-2013-for-sp-2013.aspx

http://blogs.technet.com/b/justin_gao/archive/2013/06/30/configuring-office-web-apps-server-communication-using-https.aspx
We reviewed the ULS logs and found the following error:
02/14/2014 13:38:40.24 w3wp.exe (0x1C04) 0x1BB4 Office Web Apps

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?
-ChrisIf 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 "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 requestHi ,
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()

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>

Victoria

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
Aroh ShuklaHi 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).

Exchange 2013 OWA published through TMG: Unable to preview documents with Office Web App server
We configured our Exchange 2013 servers to use Office Web App for document previews on OWA. Everything works fine internally, and externally also when we access OWA directly. But when from an outside network we open a OWA session through TMG and try to preview
a document, we get the error "Sorry we cannot open this document, an error occured . . ."
Did anyone experience such an issue ?
Thanks,
AntonioHello,
Since directing accessing OWA from CAS is fine and the issue only occur when involving TMG, I think the issue is more related to TMG settings. Please find more efficient support

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
MPHi,
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.

We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
I found a similar query from March 2014 found here
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281
Has there been an update released to resolve this
Cheers DHi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.

Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host
I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
If I disable editing I got this message:
I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server.Hi Gary Jiang,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing issues about
apps for Office.
Based on the description, it seems that you got an issue when you deploy the code sample. If I understood clearly, I suggest that you contact the author of the code sample from the "Q and A" tab.
Also if you have the question about WOPI, I suggest that you get more effective response from
Office
Protocols forum.

How can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling custom WOPI host?
I am getting an error when I testing my wopi host(which is the same as
example) with Office Web app server "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word."
1-how can find the log files of this error?
2-how can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling my WOPI host?
I am not sure about cumunication between owa to wopi host. I actually dont know how to implement checkfile and getfile functions to wopi host for waiting for call back from owa client.
Note:I am sure that office web app server is configured true. Because i test it with sharepoint 2013 and editing and viewing is working well.Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that
CheckFileInfo is how the WOPI application gets information about the file and the permissions a user has on the file. It should have a URL that looks like this:
HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>?access_token=<token>
While CheckFileInfo provides information about a file, GetFile returns the file itself. It should have a URL that looks like this:
HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>/contents?access_token=<token>
There is a great article for your reference.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/officedevdocs/archive/2013/03/20/introducing-wopi.aspx
You can also refer to the following article which is about building an Office Web Apps(OWA) WOPI Host.

Office Web Apps Load Balancing Configuration Issue for SharePoint 2013
I have load balanced servers dedicated for Office Web Apps with name “md1xxxwfe1” and “md1xxxwfe2”
, both this servers are load balanced by CISCO Load balancer. And I have mapped Load Balancer Virutal IP with host name officeapps.jda.corp.local in the DNS records.
Things are working fine if I add new farm by using New-OfficeWebAppsFarm

Please help me
Thanks, Ram ChHi Ram ,
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
Just about any load balancing solution will work, including a server that runs the Web Server (IIS) role running Application Request Routing (ARR):Install
Application Request Routing
Install the certificate on the load balancer as described under Securing Office Web Apps Server communications by using
HTTPS.
Make sure you have configured the cluster correctly for full internet name:
