Strange Behaviour in WSS3.0
Hi there, My wss3.0 is driving me crazy:) I'm learning a lot about it at the moment, but the latest behaviour is something I can't understand. I'm running wss3.0 on win2008. 1)When creating a new new site collection in a new application, i get an unknown error. I know I can change my web.config for more detailed errors and I will do this after writing this post. 2)My SPD is unable to create a new worklfow. The workflow is generated, but doesn't start because of compile errors. Unexpected error on server associating the workflow. I tried a simple one step workflow and It generated the same error:( 3)When configuring a sharepoint filter for a simple list, it never gets connected. I'm not sure, but in my opinion these erros occured first, after I installed SP2. Has anybody an idea, how I could go on, fighting my problems. Thanks Stefan

I changed the web.configs on my server. The detailed error thats is thrown when creating a site collection starts like this: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Feature.WorkflowFeatureReceiver.FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFeature.DoActivationCallout(Boolean fActivate, Boolean fForce) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFeature.Activate(SPSite siteParent, SPWeb webParent, SPFeaturePropertyCollection props, Boolean fForce)

This blog entry will help you get even more useful diagnostic information: http://www.mstechblogs.com/paul/how-to-troubleshoot-mysterious-sharepoint-errors Something sounds pretty off with your environment. You think that SP2 caused this? Was it working before SP2?--Paul Galvin, Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) Microsoft MVP - SharePoint Blogging @ http://www.mstechblogs.com/paul Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/pagalvin

I don't know whats going wrong in my enviroment. I installed SP2 , another Service Pack for the SQL-Server and deployed a simple workflow to the IIS on an application different from Sharepoints That's really erverything I changed. I'm quite new to sharepoint and I'm currently developping webparts, but I can't imagine that my custom code changed something in my enviroment, because I always deploy my webparts to a working site collection. But also this site collection is running into the errors I stated as 2) and 3). As far as I know it is not possible to roll back a service pack in sharepoint, so I can't test, if the errors are caused by the SP. I will try to analyze the logfiles as the next step.

I created a new application as network service, a new site collection and a team site. There are several errors in the log.Starting with these: No document templates uploaded for list "Master Page Gallery" -- none found for list template "100". Failed to get all (feature-driven) content types. This web front-end is not joined to the farm. Failed to get the content type elements. #5008a: Failed to compare two elements in the array. Failed to get all (feature-driven) content types. This web front-end is not joined to the farm. When trying to finish a workflow in SPD the log shows following entries: RPC method = put documents RPC method = put document put file doc URL = Workflows/testWF/testWF.xoml.wfconfig.xml Cannot complete this action. Please try again. Thanks in advance Stefan

Your environment looks very sick. I'd give Microsoft a call and work with them to resolve it.--Paul Galvin, Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) Microsoft MVP - SharePoint Blogging @ http://www.mstechblogs.com/paul Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/pagalvin
