SharePoint Server not redirecting to default page (Needs Full url to open site)

Our SharePoint 2013 Enterprise server all of a sudden stopped redirecting to the actual .aspx pages of the site when we have navigated to just the server name or folder names.

When I go to “http: //myservername: port/sitepages/home.aspx” the page appears. If I go to “http: //myservername: port/” the page does not redirect, and instead shows a 404 error in Internet Explorer and shows a blank page in FireFox and Chrome.

Some googling led me to this answer, which worked for me, but I realized there really wasn’t good documentation that could help me in solving this. Finally, I found a solution that worked for me.

There are some deals that are added to IIS few of those are related to SharePoint and few related to.Net. I am not sure about the reason why SharePoint DLL’s are removed from there but adding those DLL’s back resolves this issue.

Following are the steps that are to be followed to resolve the issue:

1.          Open IIS Manager (Start > Run > inetmgr)



2.          Click on the server node

3.          Click “ISAPI and CGI Restrictions”



4.          Verify that you have the following web service extensions allowed:



5.          If they are not all allowed, right click + add the missing DLL’s.

6.          That’s it reset IIS and try to open your site.

Business Data Connectivity

I came to a requirement wherein I was supposed to get data from an 3 rd party portal using API’s and then bring them to SharePoint server. The first approach that I finalized was just to make BDC solution that will get data from 3 rd party portal and will deploy it to SharePoint. How to Create BDC solution in SharePoint? I found below link that is having really great description about hot to create and deploy the BDC solution to SharePoint. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/hung123/creating-business-data-connectivity-service-using-visual-studio-2010/ After creating an POC I came to know that BDC model cannot be deployed on Multi tenant farm. So what can be done next? After some amount of googling I came to know that we can create BDC solution using WCF services also. So I created a WCF service solution that acted as a wrapper that used to fetch data from the portal. We can them publish that service to IIS or Server and use the servic...

Dataverse Multi Choice Columns in PowerApps

We have been working with PowerApps, PowerApps and Dataverse and now I thought of sharing a few tips to ease your work if you are new to PowerApps + Dataverse as a combination. I will be sharing a few more tips in my upcoming blogs but to get started, Let’s take Multi Choice Columns this time. Unlike SharePoint or any other data source, Dataverse Multi choice columns are different so basically, I cannot go to my PowerApp and directly print selected value in a label. So, this is how you can show multi choice values in label. You need to use concat that allows to concat multiple selection. PowerApps has concat function that takes. Concat function syntax :  Concat (  Table ,  Formula  ) In my case I am trying to render a multi choice column values into a vertical gallery webpart. I have added a label control to a vertical gallery and then added below code.   Concat(ThisItem.ColumnName,Value & "") Hope this helps, Thanks, Keyur

SPGridView control Example

We normally use asp.net gridview control as substitute to SharePoint gridview Control. Compare to asp.net gridview control SharePoint gridview provides rich functionality. Below two are the reasons that I feel to use SPGridView control instead of asp.net gridview control. 1.        SPGridView is inherit from GridView, so it will have features of GridView and also some special features that suite for SharePoint environment, so for a SharePoint web part, I suggest to use SPGridView. 2.        Also SPGridview control supports built-in SharePoint cascading style sheets, menus, sorting in SharePoint manner. In this blog I will try to show, 1.        Create SPGridView. 2.        Bind data source to SPGridView. 3.        Apply paging to SPGridView. 4.        Allow Filtering. ...
