Sharepoint: end of “exception state”

Good morning,

this weeks starts brilliantly thanks to the help of Chris Winebarger. He gave me a solution to put an end to the most infamous sharepoint 0×80020009 exception when trying to activate Sharepoint Publishing Infrastructure on a site collection. Here is the solution with stsadm :


stsadm -o activatefeature -filename publishing\feature.xml -url http://URL -force
stsadm -o activatefeature -filename publishingresources\feature.xml -url http://URL -force
stsadm -o activatefeature -filename publishingSite\feature.xml -url http://URL -force
stsadm -o activatefeature -filename publishingweb\feature.xml -url http://URL -force
stsadm -o activatefeature -filename publishinglayouts\feature.xml -url http://URL -force
stsadm -o activatefeature -filename navigation\feature.xml -url http://URL -force


(Obviously, replace the URL above with the URL of the site collection)

Many thanks to Chris for saving my day!

Sharepoint Exception 0×80020009

It’s been now several days that I’m fighting against this error when trying to activate Sharepoint Publishing Infrastructure at the site collection level.

I’ve posted something about it in Technet Forums @ Microsoft, see the following link:

Any help is welcome

Cheers,

Sharepoint permissions reset

Morning folks, this morning a weird issue (no, really?) some permissions simply disappeared during the night on some of our Sharepoint lists. No reasons for that, nothing in event logs. Classical. Had to set them back again, now it works fine.

Sharepoint – SQL Server – Error 18456 eventlog

Whenever you run into repeating error 18456 / Anonymous Logon failure on your SQL server, be sure to check that Single Sign-On has been set up properly on your Sharepoint farm. To set up SSO, you will need to log into the server (and also into central administration) not with your admin account, but with the service account under which sharepoint is running.

Expect to see more sharepoint related tips as i’m having a lot of fun with it at the moment

Cheers!
