SharePoint 2013 installation headacks

This blog describes some problems that I faced when installing a SharePoint 2013 server


Errors encountered

The following error showed up

When creating a site collection with a custom solution

Unexpected Exception in SPDistributedCachePointerWrapper::InitializeDataCacheFactory for usage 'DistributedViewStateCache' - Exception 'System.InvalidOperationException: SPDistributedCachePointerWrapper::InitializeDataCacheFactory - No cache hosts present in the farm.


The solution for this problem is to create a new Server AppFabric Cache host and can be found on  msdn .

First I created a new SQL database with the name CacheClusterConfigurationDB

After that I used the following powershell scripts to create a new Server Appfabric on the server.

New-CacheCluster -Provider System.Data.SqlClient -ConnectionString  "Data Source=ServerName\SQL2012;Initial Catalog=CacheClusterConfigurationDB;Integrated Security=True" -Size Small

Register-CacheHost -Provider System.Data.SqlClient -ConnectionString  "Data Source=ServerName\SQL2012;Initial Catalog=CacheClusterConfigurationDB;Integrated Security=True"  -Account "ServerName\cachehost" -CachePort 22233 -ClusterPort 22234  -ArbitrationPort 22235 -ReplicationPort 22236 -HostName  ServerName

Add-CacheHost -Provider System.Data.SqlClient -ConnectionString  "Data Source=ServerName\SQL2012;Initial Catalog=CacheClusterConfigurationDB;Integrated Security=True" -Account "ServerName\cachehost"

Add-CacheAdmin -Provider System.Data.SqlClient -ConnectionString  "Data Source=ServerName\SQL2012;Initial Catalog=CacheClusterConfigurationDB;Integrated Security=True" -Account "ServerName\cachehost"

Add-CacheAdmin -Provider System.Data.SqlClient -ConnectionString  "Data Source=ServerName\SQL2012;Initial Catalog=CacheClusterConfigurationDB;Integrated Security=True"

Use-CacheCluster

Set-CacheHostConfig -Hostname ServerName -cacheport 22233

Also I changed the user under the AppFabric Caching Service to an local account that I used for the scripts

Hi Thanks for the post. I exactly followed your steps but unfortunately my issue did not solve. I am also unable to start Distributed cache service from CA. Even i can not see the defaults websites (SharePoint-80 and SP Central Administration) in CA. I even can not do anything (add managed account etc etc) after installing SP Foundation 2013 on stand alone installation. Please help.

System.Net.Http dll version problems

Last few weeks we had problems with referencing the correct System.Net.Http version. This is probably because some components use internally higher versions (.NET Core with System.Net.Http 4.2.0.0) compared to the versions that are available in NuGet. Frequently we got errors like: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Http, Version=4.1.1.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) What is the solution.... That is a great questions. But we do not have the satisfying answer yet. What we currently do is the following. - Use in all projects the same System.Net.Http version, currently we use v4.3.3 from nugget - Compile the code and check in the resulting Bin folder what the resulting System.Net.Http version is - Use this version as BindingRedirect in the app.config / web.config like <dependentAssembly>

SharePoint Survey Back Button

On Internet I could not find a correct solution for implementing a back button in a survey. After some search I found some near implementations but not an implementation that fully worked. One that inspired me was http://sharepointbender.blogspot.nl/2012/04/creating-back-button-on-sharepoint-2010.html but I found the history.back(-2) not satisfying. I wrote my one version in Javascript that uses the FirstField parameter of the survey to implement a correct behaviour. I hope it makes you happy. In the edit form I added a script link to the code below and i added the following statement spbackButton.init("Name of list"); In an javascript file I included the following code. var spbackButton = (function () { var _prevFieldsArray = new Array(); var _currentStep; var _prevPageStep; function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays) { var exdate=new Date(); exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays); var c

How to set up AD FS for a development machine

Image
In this article I will describe how you should set up a development computer to use an existing AD FS. First thing we need to do is to create a trust between the ADFS server and the development machine. You can do this by login in with RDP at the server that is running ADFS and start up the "AD FS 2.0 Management" that is found under the Administrative tools. When the AD FS 2.0 Management studio is started you need to navigate to the "Relying Party Trusts" in the left folder structure. Then you nee to select "Add Relying Party Trust..." in the right menu. This will open the "Add Relying Party Trust Wizard" as shown below. When clicked on "Start" the following screen will open. Here you can specify how the relying party configuration is configured. For a development machine it is most easy to select just the last option "Enter data about the relying party manually" In the next screen you can fill in a name and descr
