Missing "Sharepoint web services" in iis

Question

Hi.

I connected to an existing sharepoint farm, by running the sharepoint 2010 products configuration wizard, and the Central administration og sharepoint sites were created in the iis. But the Sharepoint web services site is missing. I have rerun the configuration wizard several times, without any luck.

Any ideas?

 

Best regards

Peter

Answer 1

Hello,

 

Are you trying to add a SharePoint server to existing farm and SharePoint web services site is missing in the new server? How about SharePoint Web Services Root application pool?

Please see if there are service applications that had already been created and started on the farm.

 

Thanks & Regards.

The existing farm you connected to, were the SP services already configured? If they were then you may already have an application server configured and the new server may just be a WFE. When you join a WFE to a farm only the Web Application's are replicated to it, not the CA or Web Services.

For future reference if anyone comes across this error, you can find a handy powershell script here:

Note, however, you will need to recreate the root directory FIRST, if it does not exist located at:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebServices\Root

You can create a root folder (right click new folder) and then copy the aspnet_client folder from another site in your farm (usually located at: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\<port>).

Thanks Vangrat! You saved my life!

I accidentally extended the SP Webservices to a new test app that I created. When i removed the test app, the SP Webservices Root folder went with it.

I was able to fix it using your recreate and copy suggestion, then running the provision command in your link, and restarting the server!
