OS X Server 2.1 kills every MySQL web app

Earlier this week I installed the Mountain Lion 10.8.2 update. This morning I installed the OS X Server 2.1 update. Yesterday all of my MySQL web apps were working fine; this morning, after the OS X Server 2.1 update, they all fail. Every one of them. It appears they're unable to establish a database connection. Needless to say, the wiki - that'd be Apple's wiki running on PostgreSQL - seems to be working fine.
Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?

Did you backup before installing the update? Maybe a Time Machine update?
That way you can retrieve the php.ini file. If you modify anything havely in a succesfull way, always save it to a secure location.

Server communications error in Sharepoint365/Access web app

I'm having a similar issue to this post using Office365 (academic). I have an
Access web app that was working fine until about 1 week ago when suddenly became very slow to start on a web browser, and then any changes I make in Access 2013 and then attempt to save results in a dialog box "Please wait while we attempt to save changes"
followed by "Please wait while we attempt to contact the server. Press Esc to quit". Finally, it sometimes fails with "An error occurred in the client while attempting to communicate with the server 'https://<url>.sharepoint.com/sites...
Please contact your system administrator of technical support". If I wait awhile and try again, it usually succeeds. If I try too quickly, then I get the dreaded " '_AppHomeForm' cannot be saved because someone else has made changes to it."
I end up having to discard changes and start over again.
I've already deleted the local cache to no avail.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems? The other post indicated that the problem magically went away after awhile - I'm hoping for the same but it's been more than 1 week now.

Glad to hear that. If the problem came back, please feel free to contact us. We'll be happy to help.

Accessing an SQL Server Database created by MS Access Web App

1.I have tried to use MS Access Web App which has created an SQL Server Database. I would like to access the database using SQL Management Studio Express 2014. In access I can see the server name on windows.net and the database name but I do not know
how to connect to this using SSMS Express 2014. Can you please help?
2.I also want to view our emails on MS Exchange in real-time. In MS Access Jet I can do this by linking the folders as tables. Is there a way of doing this in SQL Server? If not can I have a separate MS Access Jet with linked tables which I can then link into
my SQL Server as an OLEDB Linked server?
3. If going for the Linked Table in Jet solution where can I store it so that my MS Access Web App will have access to it?

Hi gkounis,
I don't think it support link MS Access Jet with linked tables in SQL Server.
Can you share some info about your MS Access Web App?

Show different content after every 5th web app listing

I have a web app that list products. I would like to show different content after 5th item from the web app.
So, it might look something like this.
<div class="wrapper article-single-wrapper">
Web app product 1
Web app product 2
Web app product 3
Web app product 4
Web app product 5
</div>
<div class="wrapper sponsored-post-list-wrapper">
Advert
</div>
<div class="wrapper article-single-wrapper">
Web app product 6
Web app product 7
Web app product 8
Web app product 9
Web app product 10
</div>

You can only do that with javascript, Say you had a hidden contentholder with the add on it. You could use jQuery for example, store the .html() into a variable and then every nth-item (4th) you could .insertAfter()

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.

How to Upload Web App images to different server?

Hello,
is it possible to configure web app item submission so images are uploaded to a different server (not BC)?
Customers are uploading lots of images with their web app items and I'm really getting short on server storage. Buying extra space in BC servers is a bit expensive, especially when I need loads of it. Smart thing would be to AUTO resize images to take much less space in the server but this is not possible with BC as no back end is allowed (maybe this could good improvement in next releases? "Auto resizing images to the value indicated"). Some customers are uploading images of up to 9 MB size X 20. I could limit upload size (i guess), but thats a big hit to UX, they should then bother resizing their images on some software before uploading.
So far my solution is to simply download images from the server, resize them manually with PS and then upload them back again. Maybe someone knows better solution than photoshop to automate the resizing process? I actually can automate the process with PS but image names changes and this is another problem. So a program to auto resize loads of images and keep their original names?
Another solution could be manually storing images to another server and retyping the links in web app items, but its a bit too crazy
Thanks

Hi Ray,
Indeed, this is not possible as an 'out of the box' feature and looks like a long-shot if attempting to use a separate server for storage.

Office Web Apps server / Lync server 2013

Hi I have installed a Lync 2013 Server and Office Web Apps Server. Configured Lync topology, Office Web Apps farm and certificates.
However when i start the services i get this error message in the log saying Office Web Apps discovery failed.
Event ID: 41033
Description:
Office Web Apps Server (WAC) discovery failed, PowerPoint content is disabled.
Attempted Office Web Apps Server discovery Url:
Received error message: Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration
The number of retries: 1,
Cause: Office Web Apps Server may be unavailable or network connectivity may have been compromised.
Resolution:
Check HTTPS connectivity from this box to the Office Web Apps Server deployment using the discovery Url.
I can access the OWAS server Url from Lync Server
Connecting to the HTTPS discovery URL is working fine, and brings up the XML-page (after i click "show all content").
The two servers are located on the same internal network, DNS resolves fine both ways, and no firewall rules blocks any connections between the two. Can anyone please help me figure this out?
Only identical problem found online is here (Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration):
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2012/09/10/office-web-apps-server-amp-lync-server-2013.aspx
He resolved the problem by assigning a new OAuthTokenIssuer certificate. This however did not fix the problem in my case.

Hi,
In addition, please make sure you have restarted front end and office web apps server after reissuing the certificate.

Office web apps server 2013 install issue

Dear All,
when i install office web apps server in a new server(OS:Windows Server 2008 SP1) with PowerShell Scripts it keep the installing status for more than four hours .
what should i do now ,i think it should not take such long time as i do the same installing in the other server before which takes less than 1 hours.
beg your suggestions!

Hey
please take these points into your considerations:
- OWA server can be installed on Windows server 2008 R2 or Windows server 2012
- Log in as administrator and preferred to use domain administrator account specially to create new office web apps farm
- run the script

OWA Blank Attachment Preview with Office Web Apps Server

Environment: Exchange 2013 CU3 / Office Web Apps Server 2013
OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
After implementing Office Web Apps server per the Integration with Exchange 2013 instructions, attachment previews in OWA show up as blank windows. The pop up says Opening your mailbox, then goes blank. I have the WAC endpoint configured in Exchange,
I can access the discovery URL from the Exchange servers, and I am seeing event 142. Some forums say that these events should be in the CAS application logs. I am seeing mine in the Mailbox server app logs. Has anyone seen a similar issue.
I have also attempted to view the ULS logs on the Office Web Apps server, but I don't see anything that looks like a rendering request. But, I also don't know what that request would look like. The Exchange and Office Web Apps server are
in the same network with no firewall in between them The local firewalls have also been turned off, so any type of blockage should not be the issue.

I dont want to be happy too soon, but i think for me this did the trick:
from time to time, this event appeared in the application eventlog:
Source: MSExchange Certificate Deployment
Event ID: 2005
Task Category: General
Level: Warning
Keywords: Classic
Description:
Federation or Auth certificate not found: ED2C3E86EBE821AAC2C0DEA85CAB5787E2CAC5F3. Unable to find the certificate in the local or neighboring sites. Confirm that the certificate is available in your topology and if necessary, reset the certificate on the Federation
Trust to a valid certificate using Set-FederationTrust or Set-AuthConfig. The certificate may take time to propagate to the local or neighboring sites.
The solution was found here: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/512374-missing-the-microsoft-exchange-server-auth-certificate
1. New-ExchangeCertificate -KeySize 2048 -PrivateKeyExportable $true -SubjectName "cn= Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -DomainName "*.yourdomain.com" -FriendlyName "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -Services smtp
Do not accept to replace the SMTP certificate when prompted
2. Note the thumbprint of the new certificate. Let us assume it is 7A39541F8DF58D4821967DD8F899B27410F7C081
3. $a=get-date
4. Set-AuthConfig -NewCertificateThumbprint 7A39541F8DF58D4821967DD8F899B27410F7C081 –NewCertificateEffectiveDate $a
Accept to continue despite the fact that the certificate effective date is not 48 hours into the future
5. Set-AuthConfig –PublishCertificate
6. Make sure to remove any potential reference to the previous certificate (which might not exist anymore) by doing Set-AuthConfig -ClearPreviousCertificate
Maybe this helps some of you too.

Update config testsuite on 4.0.0_fixes branch to force kill the app server before running any tests when the app server is Tomcat. The regression runs were hanging on this branch when going to run the config suite because the Tomcat server isn't shutting down cleanly at the end of the MXUnit run. I believe this is an issue with the version of ActiveMQ we are using. Since I don't think we want to update ActiveMQ on this branch force killing the Tomcat server will workaround the problem.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried this on another machine running the same version of Blackboard. It works fine.
Only difference is that the machine that has the JVM crash is running on Fujitsu PrimePower and the OS is Solaris 9 (but twigged for PrimePower).
The one where it runs and starts up successfully is running on SunFire (OS is Solaris 10).
I am wondering if there is a problem with the JVM loading required libraries because of the OS being different versions.
Any leads on this is welcomed. Thank you.

Hon Peng

Need somone to code web app mysql-php

the static pages are mostly done. was hoping to do the
dynamic stuff myself, but just started learning web apps and we
need it now. want to hire someone with experience doing web apps.
its a professional directory with search results pages that work
like (but dont look like) hamptoninn.com. we want to use sugarcrm
to manage the accounts too. (moderator: sorry if this is not
allowed, dont see it prohibited in terms).

Hello 6fingers,
1. When you say that you successfully migrated the application, how exactly did you do this, did you use the Web Apps migration assistant?
The error message indicates to me that the issue is with the Access database. Even though your website has migrated successfully with the respect to the IIS server configuration.
It is failing to connect to your Access database. Azure websites supports Access databases after converting it to Azure SQL DB.
When you migrate your website, it would have created a database for your Access database under MYSQL Database, I suggest that you check if you have that linked to your web application.
If you do not find any database under the linked resourses for the web application, you can create new azure SQL database.
You can refer to the link below that will give you instructions on 'Migrating Access Databases to SQL Server/Azure SQL DB (AccessToSQL)':

SharePoint 2013 Anonymous (public) site and Office Web Apps Server 2013 issue with download.aspx

Our organization has a public facing anonymous site in SharePoint 2013 which allows access to documents (docx) in a library. ViewFormsLockdown is activated as we present the documents via CQWP / custom template. We are combating the usual
issue of multiple login prompts when using Internet Explorer when a user accesses said document. We also have tried using the Word Viewer (view only mode) from Office Web Apps Server 2013 which works well, but ...
the problem stems from the fact that users can go the file menu from the word view and choose to download the document (which is what we want), unfortunately it looks like the link redirects via /_layouts/15/download.aspx which also presents a login
prompt. Much has been written out there about doing direct links for documents via /_layouts/download.aspx to address multiple login prompts when the document is opening in word (from IE).
I've tried nearly every combination of recommendations (disabling client integration, browser file handling (permissive/strict), ViewFormsLockdown feature, web.config modifications with options and propfind verbs and more) all to varying levels of success,
but never totally getting rid of the prompt. It has been stated that because the downloads.aspx inherits from Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.Download this will not allow anonymous access. We really want to use the word view from the Office
web app and have the file download functionality work from the menu there ... can anyone suggest an alternate fix? I might be wishing but will appreciate any guidance offered ...
cheers,
Dean

Recommended OPEN CURSORS setting for Oracle serving a web app

G'day
Hopefully Phil is still lurking here, so might see this. Or anyone else that knows about Oracle.
I've always thought the default for "maximum pooled statements" setting for an Oracle DSN - which is 300 - is way too low to be sensible for a web app (which, let's face it, any CF DSN is going to be used for!). I usually find I end up with it up around 1000-2000, depending on the sizeof the app, and how busy it is.
I'm adequate with monkeying around with Oracle, and have needed to do a moderate bit of that sort of thing in our dev environment, but I am by no means a DBA, so it's all very seat-of-the-pants.
So I'm keen to know what other people have their maximum pooled statements / open cursors setting set to for their Oracle-driven web sites/apps.
One of the reasons I'm asking is that I wonder if it might be worth while to suggest the default for CF9 is upped to 1000 or so..?
Thoughts / comment?
Adam

I personally would not set the limit any higher than 300, and I'd consider keeping it even lower.
Each pooled query / open connection is imposing resource-burdens on both the CF and the Oracle servers by creating what might be thought of as "a very crowded restaurant." Most of them are just standing around, but they nevertheless are occupying the restaurant, and the potential exists that every one of them might try to order a burger-and-fries at exactly the same time.
The "number of pooled statements" should be such that your SQL-server can actually handle that number of simultaneous requests, both in terms of active searches and of maintaining the still-open result sets. Beyond that point, incoming web requests should be forced to wait. Set an "occupancy limit" to your proverbial restaurant such that everyone could come in and be timely served at the same time.
Categorically, if you plot out response-time graphs about such things (SQL servers, virtual memory subsystems, and so on), they exhibit a fairly-linear performance curve up to a point, after which "the elbow- or knee-point is reached" and beyond that point it becomes exponential in a very, very bad way. I saw this happen in a batch-processing subsystem long ago on a very small mainframe: (yeah, I'm makin' these numbers up...)
Number of Jobs at Once
Completion Time per Job
1
30 seconds
3
40 seconds
8
9 minutes
12
4.5 hours
It was just-about that bad. And what I did to (dramatically...) address the problem was to impose simultaneous-job limits on that subsystem. As long as the number of simultaneous jobs was constrained to "less than 3 at a time," a workload of 12 jobs could be reliably completed in (4 * 40) seconds, whereas if all 12 jobs tried to run at once, the computer would have reason to file a lawsuit for abuse.

Can I install WSUS alongside Windows Essentials Experience Role without killing IIS & Remote web access?

Can I install WSUS alongside Windows Essentials Experience Role without killing IIS & Remote web access?
I have recently installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, but I want to use WSUS on the same server. Is this possible, if so how? Last time I tried this I lost my Remote Web Access.
I did post this in the Windows server 2012 essentials thread but didn't get any replies so thought I'd try posting it here to see if I got any hits here?
Is there a way to get WSUS to install to different web ports i.e. 880 & 8443? Or can I get it to install in a new site in IIS? Its just I know that the Essentials Experience role sets up RWA in IIS and installing the WSUS on top just overwrites
the RWA site & settings? I assume this is also why Remote Desktop Services does the same?
Thanks
JK MCP

Last time I tried this I lost my Remote Web Access.
Remote Web Access uses the Default Web Site. If you install WSUS to the Default Web Site, it will break things. Install WSUS to the alternate "WSUS Administration" site on port 8530.
Is there a way to get WSUS to install to different web ports i.e. 880 & 8443?
No.
Or can I get it to install in a new site in IIS?
Just select the option during the installer to do that.

Hosting a SaaS PHP/MySQL web application

Hi
I am building a PHP web application ( to be used by about 5 customers ) with MySQL database using partitionning strategy for scalabilty purpose.
Customers list can grow up to 100, so I pre allocated 100 partitions for the MySQL database.
Can I host my web app on Window Azure?
If yes, what pricing plan should I choose to start my business? (I mean Server requirement : Memory, number of core, espace disk)
Is MySQL partitionning a good strategy for such app?
Thank
Have a nice day
