Trouble while dealing with Share Point Object Model

Question

Hello everybody,

 

I am getting some trouble around SharePoint Object model. I was intended to write a console or windows application that will connect two SharePoint site (One is SharePoint 2003 and the other is SharePoint 2007) and will move/copy documents from one to another. I have tried to connect to the SharePoint 2007 first and it was connecting fine. (I was running my application into the same machine where the SharePoint 2007 is installed). The application was retrieving the Document from the SharePoint 2007 as expected but the trouble raised when it was trying to connect with the SharePoint 2003.

 

The error was

The Web Application at could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.

 

Then I was running the application from the machine where the SharePoint 2003 installed and here it was connecting to WSS 2003 fine but failed to connect to WSS 2007. Here the error is different then the earlier.

 

The server instance specified was not found.  Please specify the server's address and port.

 

I have searched the web for this error and found a support article in MSDN.  But I have not found any good by following the approach that the article specified.

 

Can any body help me to get rid of this trouble?

 

 

One more thing, Can you help me to find out the answer for the following question,

 

Is it possible to connect to a SharePoint site and retrieve a document from a machine where the SharePoint is not installed by using the SharePoint object model?

 

 

Advance Thanks for all kind of suggestions 

 

Answer 1

>> Is it possible to connect to a SharePoint site and retrieve a document from a machine where the SharePoint is not installed by using the SharePoint object model?

 

It looks like it's not possible.

 

I need to do a similar thing (connect via OM on Sharepoint from a machine where Sharepoint is not installed) and after my researchs, it appears that it's not possible: you need to use the Web Services.

Answer 2

Hi!

I have the same problem. My web page running on the same web server with WSS v3.0 beta2 and trying to use the WSS OM to retrieve some data from root site. But it fails with the message:

The Web Application at could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.

 

I worte simple console application. It runs Ok without any problems and failures. It seems that this problem is accuring only in web applications. I have hard coded IP on my computer and I've done all stuff, discribed in that MSDN article with mapping virtual server name to IP. It doesn't seem that problem with users rights and impersonation.

 

Does anybody knows how to fix it?

Answer 3

I passed this issue to a Microsoft support engineer, and here is what he said:

Based on what I gather from the case notes and the article that was pointed out, I think the customer is running into a known problem when connecting to SharePoint 2003. There is a bug in the wss object model code when connecting to a site using the fully qualified domain name. The problem arises under this circumstance because wss does not go out to the DNS server to do name resolution.

The scenario of using a fully qualified domain name in the code will only work if the host header is local to the IIS metabase, this is easy to do in a test environment where everything is in the same environment but will not work in a production environment with a DNS server.

 

The only workaround to this is to use either the IP address or the netbios name of the server rather than passing the fully qualified domain name to the object model when referencing a site.

So instead of writing code like this:

SPSite site =new SPSite(http://test.domainname.com);

 

You need to write it like this:

SPSite site =new SPSite(“http://<IP address>”); or

SPSite site =new SPSite(“http://<Server Name>”);

 

A good way to approach this is to have the IP address encrypted as a key in the configuration file, read the key and decrypt it in the code and use the value to establish the connections to the sites. The advantage of this is that you won’t need to hard code any values in the code.

 

I think this will take care of the problem for the customer but please let me know the results.

The customer also had the question of “Is it possible to connect to a SharePoint site and retrieve a document from a machine where the SharePoint is not installed by using the SharePoint object model?”, I have address this below.

Yes, there are ways to connect to a SharePoint site from a machine which does not have Sharepoint installed, however, you cannot use the object model directly. You will need to create an application (web or console) that will make use of the SharePoint web services hosted on the SharePoint server machine. There is also the option of using FP RPC to connect to and manipulate document libraries.

Hi,

My environment is this standalone instllation of MOSS 2007 Beta 2  (No TR) at W2k3 sp1  (Virtual PC)

My client environemnt is win xp.

I hav an Web Service app hosted in to w2k3 server where MOSS exists.

When i try to add a file thru Web Service using object model i get the following errors.

when use machine name for opening spweb (SPWeb site = new SPSite(AbsoluteURL).OpenWeb();)

But when i use thesame code inside a Winforms application at running from server it works great!!!

Please show my some light...

i am held up with a lot behind this trial...

I have tried the following,

1. I have proxy server configured at our network tried removed that setting at IE also.

2. I hav given permission to NETWORK SERVICE ASPNET IUSR Administrator of W2k3 accouts for Sharepoint Web Application (admin site)

3. Also given permission thru SP Admin website for adding documents to "Shared Documents" for the above accounts.

Answer 6

I'm having the same problem... i wasn't the one who installed sharepoint on the server... so i have no idea if sharepoint was installed using the OM or not... (How can i tell without asking him? office politics hah)

i tried using the machine name

i tried using the ip address

i tried using the fully qualified domain name

I still get filenotfoundexception as described by the OP (original poster)

Answer 7

Did you ever figure this out?  I am having the same problem and it is driving me crazy.  Thanks!

Answer 8

I too am running into the same issue.  Just wondering if anyone has come across a resolution.

Thanks.

Answer 9

I have the same problem. Try to set the same ApplicationPool as use WSS for the web-application that use WSS object model.

Answer 10

any updates on this?

 

 i tried ("machinename") ("machinename.domain.com") and ("ip address") none of them have worked as i stated above. Do we have any further information about this? Are we only to be using the WSS OM from the server machine?

Answer 11

 

I want to use a web service to connect the sharepoint 2007, and then call the sharepoint object model to do some operations, such as adding web in a specific site.

But it's running the "SPSite site = new SPSite(http://shareserver:65432/sites/portal)", the system throw a System.IO.FileNotFoundException. The error message just like the post 1 showing.

I don't know what's wrong with it and how to solve it. Please help me.

 

 

Thanks.

Answer 14

Not sure if this been answered already or not but if you are running sharepoint object model code from IIS then make sure you are using the same application pool ID as your portal. i.e. SERVICE ACCOUNT.

Answer 15

Hello everyone,

I have tried everything mentioned here but nothing changed. It is still the same. My web application is using the same application pool as Sharepoint services but I am still getting the same error:

The Web Application at could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.

When I run the website loged as administrator user to the computer it is fine and that web application works right, even if I log to sharepoint as regular user. As soos as I log to the computer as regular user the web application throw this erorm even if I am loged to sharepoint as administrator. I do not get it. How this can happen? What the user logged to the computer has to do with the web application? This is serviced by IIS and should use the user specified in the application pool for that web application. Or am I missing something here?

Please any other suggestions? I would be happy for any other comments.

Thanks,

Roman

Answer 19

 

In the IIS, you need to open the property page of the web appliction that you host the web service. under "Home Directory" Tab, you can chose the appliction pool. make sure that your sharepoint web appliction and your webservice sharing the same application pool name.

I still didn`t manage to do anything...(
i made a very simple application on the windows xp system(whici is in the network with my sharepoint server)

  try
            {

               SPSite mysite = null;
                SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                 {
                mysite = new SPSite("http://spectradan/");

                 });
                MessageBox.Show("it works...i`d wish...");
               
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Source + " - " + ex.Message + " - " + ex.InnerException + " - " + ex.StackTrace);
          
            }

with this code i get the following exception:

Answer 21

I had the following error.

 

The Web application at http://vm-ut-sp07-ces5/ could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.

 

It was a security issue. I marshalled my apllication to the sharepoint server where a custom service was to answer me back with the instantiated objects that can modify the web application. However, by default, it was the NT AUTHORITY that ran the service, not my user. Therefore, it didn't had the access rights to the web application and couldn't connect to it.

 

Hope it helps.

Answer 22

 

Hi Guys,

Greater problems will have smaller solutions.

Even I was facing the same issue it has been resolved by changing a settings in IIS.

1. Go to the properties of the application pool where your service is running.

2. Click on Identity Tab.

3. Application Pool Identity - >Predefined->Select 'Local System'.

 

Hope this works.

 

 

 

Answer 23

Hi, Universe8883:

 

I tried your advice once time, but the error is still over there.

 

Is there anyone who can explain what in cloud leads to such error?

Answer 24

Well the solution is actually quite easy. I want almost cry when I realize that I've spent three days searching the
Internet and trying different solutions. I had to write maybe 20 MB of code and no success. Then I tried one thing, from despair more likely and I did not believe it will work, but miraculously it does.

The only thing to do is to get SPSite in RunWithElevatedPrivileges relation and then close RunWithElevatedPrivileges and the rest of the code to update put behind that.

So the following code:

SPSite site = null;
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
site = new SPSite("http://sharepointsrv"))
});
... some other code ....
Guid listGuid = new Guid("0f4ec74e-3338-4ff9-991b-1b8a83af56a7");
SPList list = lists[listGuid];
SPListItemCollection items = list.Items;
SPListItem listItem = items.Add();
rowNo++;
listItem[0] = idNo.Text;
listItem[1] = rowNo;
listItem[2] = description.Text;
listItem[3] = qtyNum;
listItem[4] = unit.SelectedValue;
listItem[5] = priceNum;
listItemDevil <img src="/> = currency.SelectedValue;
listItem.Update();

... works beautifully. The Udate comes through without throwing the
exception and everything is right. Wow, how easy. I am really narky that I
have spent so much time solving this but happy at the same time that it
works. I do not know which feeling dominates right now - well probably the
happiness. ))

Hi,

 

We are trying to file a document in the sharepoint through a stand alone windows application.

 

We tried basically everthing that was mentioned above except for the security (which we didn't understand). But we couldn't get it connected. We are still getting the error message

 

"The Web application at http://<servername>:50000/sites/<listname> could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application."

We are able to connect to the sharepoint server only when it is running in the same server. But when we run the application from different server / client pc, we are getting the above message.

 

Our need is to connect from different server. Is there any settings that we are missing. Can somebody help us on this.

V.Bhaskar.

Answer 27

 

From all of my research thus far, the AppPool that WSS is running in seems to be the solution to this problem, however, what about Unit Testing?  When running tests from within VS2008, there is no option to specify an Application Pool.  How are people unit testing code that uses the Sharepoint OM?  If anyone out there has experience, in this area and can speak to this pitfall, please share your wisdom..  Thanks..

Answer 28

Just to add to this thread, I found that I saw this error on 64 bit systems, when I compiled my application for the x86 target platform.

 

I created a console app that opens an access 12 database, and then opens an SPSite on the same server and adds new discussion forum threads based on the content in the Access DB. The server was 64 bit, and to connect to Access 12, I needed to install the Office 2007 Data Connectivity Components. These components don't have a 64 bit version, so if you compile using x64 or Any CPU platform, you get an error that the components are not installed. To get rid of that error, I compiled as x86 platform, and then all of a sudden started getting the "WebApplication at ... could not be found" error.

 

I guess you can't use the object model on a server that is x64 when you compile your application using x86 target platform.

 

Hope that helps someone in a similar situation.

Answer 29

All, The best solution for this kind of scenario is as follows,

To interact with a SharePoint Server from out side the SharePoint web server it self, you need to write a SharePoint web service. SharePoint web services are nothing bur regular web service, only difference is that they are configured into the SharePoiint site configurations. And from inside the Web service you can do whatever possible with the Object model. To get the SPSite instance from inside the web service, you even dont need to specify domain names, ip etc. Just doing the following you can have an instance of SPSite

SPSite siteCollection = SPControl.GetContextSite(HttpContext.Current);
or
SPWeb subSite = SPControl.GetContextWeb(HttpContext.Current);

After creating and deploying a web service into the SharePoint you can talk to the web service from anywhere of the world and the web service will actually make use of object model to talk to SharePoint.

How to create and deploy web service for SharePoint ..?

Same here. I have tried all the suggestions and still getting the error. Please help. Thanks.

Answer 31

You can take a looksee at http://www.portalsolutions.net/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=d03af188%2Da06f%2D4be1%2D99e9%2Dd18606093b99&ID=28
 but that was not my issue.

I had two servers, one was a newer server (64 bit) that I wanted to use, vs the old 32 bit. Even though it should also have the web app it was still having troubles. So what I did was add an Internal URL in Alternate Access Mappings to point to the new server with the correct port. *Presto*, it started working. I then REMOVED that Internal URL and it continued to work.

So it appears that it just needed that *bump* to get it going...

Answer 32

I had the same problem

 

The Web application at http://targetfarm/ could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.

 

 

 i am importing from one farm to another farm both both farms or hosted on MOSS 2007.

 both farms are in the same Windows Server 2003 Domain.

 

I was running my application on a mchine on the source farm when i got the error. when i ran my application on a machine of the target farm it worked fine. 

 

My this will give some clue about the problem.

Answer 33

 

I experienced the exact same error message when attempting to add a new custom Web Part to the

page on my production server. No Web Service involved. This Web part accesses an xml file as well as a database using the

following delegate construct:

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
    // Opening sharepoint server at the relevant address
    using (Site = new SPSite("http://...sitename..."))
    {
        // main body of code
    }
});

In our scenario, the production server has an alternate access mapping: originally called "abc"

and now called "def". The SpSite constructor expects the machine name to be passed as a string.

Unfortunately, it does not resolve to the new name ("def"). This is where it bombed out.

 Since ours is a single server MOSS 2007 WFE farm, I was able to hard-code the name of the target

server when attempting to resolve a path to the virtual directory. Not perfect, but it worked.

Hopefully, this will be fixed soon... the messages to this forum go back to 2006?

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at? I'm using IIS7 on Windows Server2008. Currently the bindings for the SharePoint 80 site are: http::80:,http::80:def

Should I add ,http::80:abc??

Answer 36

This Worked for me.....


Thanks Man

Answer 37

There are a few steps that should be kept in mind:

1. Any file system access for the web service you wrote requires impersonation in your web.config file.
2. If the above is not required and you simply need to interact with the SP Object Model then go to IIS.
- Match the Application Pool of your SP portal site to the Appliation Pool of your WS. This is very important.

But it won't work yet, you need to go to the security tab in your web service and check 'Allow Anonymous Access' to this website. This will ensure that it runs the WS smoothly without prompting your clients with a user name and password.

Try it! It worked for me though.

SPSite site =new SPSite(“http://<IP address>”); or

It doesnt matter, the only thing you need to do is:

Go to Project Properties -> Build -> Target Platform -> Make it Any CPU. (It worked)

It will definately Work.

ByDefault, the value is x86, so u need to change it to x86 or any cpu. Any CPU is prefered. Sharepoint gives a very misleading exception.

The reason my code was returning this error was due to Code Access Security and the trust level.

ByDefault, the value is x86, so u need to change it to x86 or any cpu. Any CPU is prefered. Sharepoint gives a very misleading exception.

Mine worked fine :) :)

Answer 49

Hi All,

I want to try this AppPool solution since many responses says it works. However I am not sure where to change it. I have one Win2003 Server where sharepoint is installed. On this server for SharePoint webapp I have set SP-80 app pool.

Now I have one webservice which is hosted on same server. This webservice actually uses Object model to create SiteCollection. If I invoke this webservice on same server my CreateSiteCollection method works fine. But when I try to use this web service from another machine(WinXP). I am getting "The Web application at http://ServerURL/ could not be found." error.

So I have already checked Apppool of SharePoint web app on Win2003 server in IIS. Now can someone tell me which is another location to set the same Apppool.

Thanks,

SP
