Errors after installing Infrastructure update for MOSS 2007

 

During last month, I applied Infrastructure udate of SharePoint 2007 in my development envrionment and everything was working like a charm. So I decided to apply the same fix in my production environment this week.

Here I will like to mention one thing. I started this project as migration one where we were supposed to migrate MOSS 2007 + Windows 2003 environment to MOSS 2007 SP1 + Windows 2008 environment. So it was basically a restored farm.

After applying the Infrastructure upgrade, I started facing the issues:

"The resource object with key ‘S2SearchAdminDashboard_Title’ was not found" for Search Administration site

and

"The resource object with key ‘S2LeftNav_Administration’ was not found" for other search links.

After searching a while on Google, I was able to find the solution. Solution is quite simple. Sort all files within App_GlobalResources folder based on the date in the development environment where everything was working fine. Copy files which were modified on 3/25/2008. These will be the most new ones. Copy them over to the SSP virtual directory of your troubling farm within the same App_GlobalResources folder. These files are:

searchadmin.en-us.resx
SearchAdmin.resx
sps.en-US.resx
and sps.resx

Then if you will try, you will get the following error:

Could not find the sitemap node with URL ‘/SearchAdministration.aspx’.

Now this time, copy layouts.sitemap file which will be the most latest modified file within _app_bin folder from the development environment to production environment. As soon as that was copied over, the search administration page appeared fine.

You cannot upload files that are larger than 28 MB on a Windows Server 2008-based computer that is running Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

 

In the morning, I was asked to upload a file of 110 MB in our picture/vedio library. When I tried to do it after chainging the maximum file size in Central Administration, I started getting following symptoms:

• Single File Upload via Document Library — Nothing happens, you get a 404 page.
• Multiple File Upload via Document Library — It seems to upload the file but then after the page refreshes, the file is nowhere to be found.
• Single or Multiple File Upload/Copy/Paste using open with Windows Explorer — The file begins uploading but then towards the end you get the following error:
  Could not find this item
  This is no longer located in C:\filepath. Verify the item’s location and try again.

To resolve the above error, go to web.config of your web application and add following tags at the end of web.config:

 

<system.webserver>

 <security>

  <requestfiltering>

   <requestlimits maxallowedcontentlength="file size in bytes">

  </requestfiltering>

 </security>

</SYSTEM.WEBSERVER>
