SharePoint Patches Installed; Missing Patches??

SharePoint Patches Installed; Missing Patches??

During SharePoint patch installation, either manually or via cumulative update (CU), sometimes you may get a message that states some patches are required and/or missing; however, you may have just finished installing all the patches. Resetting IIS or rebooting the machine will not necessarily fix this (resetting IIS definitely won’t). So what do you do? Just run this PowerShell command in the SharePoint PowerShell window:

Get-SPProduct -local

New Web Application Does Not Create IIS Site

New Web Application Does Not Create IIS Site

New web applications created by PowerShell (e.g., manually or AutoSPInstaller in my case) or via Central Administration were not creating IIS sites on a small farm (2 WFE, 2 AS). While the web application and even the site collections were successfully created, the IIS site was not being created resulting in the infamous 404 IIS white page.

Here are the steps I used to troubleshoot:

  1. Checked ULS logs: No issues found or recorded
  2. Checked the Timer service: Timer Service was up and running on all servers, restarted anyway to be on safe side.
  3. Restarted IIS on Central Administration App Server.
  4. Checked Jobs and Job Definitions: Discovered one-time only jobs were not being executed. Tried to force run the one-time only jobs to no avail.
  5. Checked Central Administration > Manage Services on the Server: “Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Web Application” service was stopped on the app server. Restarted the service.

Now, all my IIS sites were populated and all the one-time only jobs successfully ran.

  2. Create new folder call bin at the root of your Azure website.
    Upload php_ldap.dll
  3. Upload the PHP LDAP file (php_ldap.dll) to the newly created bin folder.
  4. In Azure, add a new App Setting
    • key: PHP_EXTENSIONS
    • value: /home/bin/php_ldap.dll

    PHP_EXTENSIONS php_ldap.dll App Setting

  5. Click Save.
