WSP Builder Error 1 – Microsoft SharePoint Services Timer is not running on ”Server Name”

Posted by Rajanihanth in SharePoint 2007, Webpart, WSP Builder on March 7, 2012

I was developing a Webpart using WSPBuilder (SharePoint WSP tool) in my new development server (SharePoint 2007, Visual Studio 2008 and Windows 2008 R2) and was trying to deploy the solution then I have got the following error message!

I have checked the “Windows SharePoint Services Timer” on the Windows Services and it was running! I tried to re-build and re-deploy the solution again and I have got the same error message again. 😦

Start –> Administrative Tools –> Services

After spending several minutes and I have found the solution here!

If we want to deploy a solution using WSPBuilder, it needs the Administrative privileges, so we need to run the Visual Studio as Administrator.

That’s it, I was able to deploy the Webpart successfully!

You do not have permissions to open this file on Excel Services OR Excel cannot load the workbook that you requested –SharePoint 2007

One of my colleagues sent an error message while using the development site of SharePoint 2007 in my office and I figured out the configuration of “Excel Calculation Services” was not done properly. It’s a very simple set-up, here we go:

1. Make sure that “Excel Services” (Actually “Excel Calculation Services”) is running. To check this out please do the following steps:

Central Administration –> Operations under “Topology and Services” click “Services on server”

On the table below we can see the “Excel Calculation Services” is started. So it’s running 🙂

2. Make sure that, file access method of “Excel Services Settings” is using “Process Account”, instead of the Impersonation. To do this, follow these steps:

Go to Central Administration –> Home

On the left menu, under “Shared Services Administration” Select your “Shared Services” (for me SharedServices2 but default SharedServices1)

Under “Excel Services Settings” click the “Edit Excel Services Settings”

Change the file access method to “Process Account”.

3. Finally make the following changes on the Trusted file locations under “Excel Services Settings”. Here are the steps:

Go to the “Shared Services” under “Excel Services Settings” click the ”Trusted file locations”.

You will be navigating to the “Excel Services Trusted File Locations“ page. Then click “Add Trusted File Location”.

In the Location pane, do the following:

– Address: In this field we can enter a Document library or full portal Url (I have given Document library path). Please note: Don’t use like http://server:1010/documentlibrary1/forms/default.aspx instead of http://server:1010/documentlibrary1

– Location Type: For this field we have to select the “Windows SharePoint Services” option

– Trust Children: Ensure whether we need to be trusted the child libraries or directories, here I selected “Children Trusted”
