SharePoint 2013 – Workflow Manager Not Connected

Hi,

I am currently installing SharePoint 2013 using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP2.

I am trying to setup Workflow Manager, but I receive the following error in central admin under Service applications. "Workflow not connected".

I have installed Workflow manager 1.0 with Service Bus 1.0 using Web Platform Installer 4.0. I have verified that I have not installed any beta products. So far so good. I can verify the workflow manager installation by hitting the url http://localhost:12291 which gives me an xml output. So far still good...

Then I configure the workflow manager to work with SharePoint 2013 using this command:
Register-SPWorkflowService SPSite http://myintranett WorkflowHostUri "http://myintranett:12291" AllowOAuthHttp -Force
The command completes with no error, which is correct. Everything looks good. I can verify the config by hitting the url http://myintranett:12291/SharePoint with gives me xml

I now open the SharePoint site and SharePoint Designer 2013. I click on new workflow and get the error:
"The option for the SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform is not available because the workflow service is not configured on the server."

I actually solved this one myself. I found out that by default, the Workflow Manager Config wizzard adds I workflow Service Application Proxy in central admin by itself. So when I registered the service, I ended up with 2 proxies.

The solution: Delete both proxies and re-run the register-spworkflowService command with the -force attribute

This is utter crap to be honest - I've spent 3 hours today checking that everything is correct and this was the same problem. Why is MS doing this to us? ....

Thanks for your fix! :-)

Hi, need your help. I'm trying to register workflow. Firstly, when I check on IIS and browse on Workflow Management Site, It says, "This page can't be displayed".

Sharepoint 2013 and Workflow Manager 1.0 was installed on the same server. I've configured Workflow Manager without error. Below is the error when trying to register in SharePoint.

Register-SPWorkflowService : Unable to connect to the remote service at http://workflowdev:12291/SharePoint/. See
InnerException for more details. Client ActivityId : 19efe93d-0aff-46a6-8efe-f6d5ce9d08e1.

Did you remember to check the "allow http" checkbox during workflow and service bus installation ?

Did you use AllowOAuthHttp in your command ?

Otherwise I would recommend you to uninstall workflow and the service bus completely. Reboot server and start all over again.
