I installed Office Web Apps SP2 on our SharePoint 2010 farm this past weekend. I've observed that the service applications have been created and I've activated the feature at the site collection level. The word viewing service is started on all my WFE machines. When I access word documents from a library by clicking them or saying "view in browser", the site brings me to a blank document. No errors. I just get a blank document with a very basic ribbon that belongs to Word with buttons on it for 'file', 'open in word' and 'edit in browser'. However, if I hit "Edit in Browser", the site displays the document.
I'm not finding much interesting in the Sharepoint logs, even with OWA logging turned up to verbose. Excel documents come up fine in the browser without such a procedure.
I had no such issue when I installed office web apps in our TEST SP2010 farm.
Any ideas what I can look at next?
The powerpoint and word reader service applications had not been created as expected by the setup. Creating these solved our problem immediately.

I have a problem with Outlook 365 add-in we are developing. The add-in should accept files dragged from user desktop. The web page is working fine with Drag&Drop in any browser: IE, Edge, Opera.
Same web page in add-in accepts only files dragged from Office 365 Application and doesn't accept anything from Outlook, user desktop, any other website or app.
So in fact add-in is droppable and working fine, but only for files dragged from Office 365 App.
Is there any special security setting in place?
The web browser which hosts your web add-in doesn't recognize and understand the format which is used for dragged items from Outlook. On the page Upload fails when user drags and drops attachment from email client you may find the following explanation:
All browsers are only expecting the actual file drag/drop format (CF_HDROP), but when dragging from Outlook, there is no file on the filesystem. What you get is the CF_FILEDESCRIPTOR and CF_FILECONTENTS formats. No browser that I know of (not even IE), knows how to handle that.
As the name of the question states, I'm working with my company on a project in UiPath that is responsible for scraping a slurry of excel files from a SharePoint server. Unfortunately a decent portion of it is proprietary so I don't know how much of the actual code I can justifiably put here.
I have inside of UiPath (which is essentially a shell for vb.net and C# specifically tailored for automation) functionality to input a website url into the file explorer and have it navigate to the OneDrive folder for that SharePoint site.
This was working as expected until yesterday in the morning when it decided to brick itself and instead pull up the SharePoint site on the web browser.
Is there any way to ensure or otherwise understand why it won't open the folder path? I had it working before and I don't know why it doesn't work anymore.

This is my first time trying to edit a sharepoint file. It is used as a list of links in an iframe on a web site on another server. But this has nothing to do with the problem. I have been asked to modify the list of links and I just want to get to it and do it. But however one does this, it does not seem very intuative to me.
Let me tell you the steps I have taken and how things go wrong and maybe I can get some advice. The sharepoint file is on a server that I log into remotely. I run the "Sharepoint 2010 Central Administration". On the page that comes up, I click on "Manage web applications" under "Application Management".
From there, I see the page I want to edit. But when I click on the name of the item (which appears in red text) the area is hilighted but nothing happens. In the ribbon menu at the top of the page there is a drop down entitled "Site Actions" but there is no option there to "edit". Please advice.
I was given a username and password to "log in" because I was told I need that. The idea was that maybe I need a special admin account to see the missing menu options to edit a page. But at first I could not use it to log on to the server where the sharepoint system is. Then I found that I could try to use it to log onto the "Sharepoint 2010 Central Administration" program. But this did not work.
Then I tried to see if there was anything I could so from the desktop computer. I found "Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010"
I tried this and it looked promising"

But then eventhough I could see the file name, I could not edit the file:

I went back to the server and tried a few other things. I tried to switch my account in the Central Adminstration to this special account that someone suggested had more privledges but it did not work. The error said "Error: Access Denied". I tried putting the web page in the address bar and that just brought up the page without any way of editing it.
Please advise.
Central Administration is not meant for content editting. That is the core of SharePoint with all kind of configuration options.
You have to create a web application for content editting and create a site collection there. In that site collection you can edit the page, add webparts, etc. In your case you can try a Publishing Portal template for your site collection and add a content editor webpart. In that content editor webpart you can put HTML for your iframe.
I just migrated sharepoint site from wss 3.0 to SP2010 foundation.
The site is not rendering while the "lists" are visible. I want to open and edit the masterpage for the site first.
Opened site using Sharepoint designer 2010 and tried to open masterpage but kept on saying "master page editing disabled for the site. contact ...".
I am the site collection admin, farm admin etc and have all privileges.
Went to central admin, and SPD settings, switched to the web-application and everything was already ticked and I ticked again and saved. Did IISRESET as well.
I opened the URL
http://f2010:81/_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/AllItems.aspx
and it showed me all masterpages. Default.master has value of "3" in compatible UI versions while minial and v4.master have 4.
I can't open the default.master (or any masterpage including v4) from here. I can't even set any masterpage as default.
Below URL gives me 'unexpected error'.

Please suggest
LS,
I'm trying to open an sharepoint 2010 list with InfoPath 2010 but when I try this I get the following errormessage: "this feature requires sharepoint server 2010 or greater with infopath forms services enabled". Strangely everything works if I create an empty form with InfoPath, it even publishes to SP2010. My current license is "SharePoint Server with Enterprise Client Access License" so it should work.
Thanx in advance
Can you enable the "SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features" in the Site Collection features.
Did you happen to upgrade the farm from Sharepoint Standard to Enterprise?
Make sure that the InfoPath Forms Services are enabled, as the following post suggests:
Infopath 2010 Beta Sharepoint List
I had this same problem. Enterprise features were enabled, InfoPath Forms Services was setup correctly, etc...
What fixed my problem was navigating to the site collection, selecting "Site Settings" from the Site Actions dropdown, Navigating to "Manage site features" under the Site Actions section, then disabling and then re-enabling "SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features".
Tons information about this error, but all the fixes were already done on my setup, just needed to remind the collection it really did have these features enabled...
