Error:

E-mail to owner could not be sent.

You will get this error, when you are trying to send "Request Access" in SharePoint 2010. Because, the system could not send request to the specific portal administrator, since the email address of the portal administrator may be wrong or empty.

Solution:

1. Go to the "Site Actions" --> "Site Permissions" as per the below image.

2. Click on the "Manage Access Rights" option in the Ribbon Menu.

3. Provide the correct and valid email-id in the pop-up.

4. Now, you will be able to send request successfully and the success message will be displayed like below:

Thats it...

Reason:

You will get this error, when you are trying to create any site using "Access Database service"  like BDC or "Project Database" templates. The reason is Microsoft missed to update a patch in Windows 7. 

Solution:

So, download a patch from  https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=23806 (Windows6.1-KB976462-v2-x64.msu) and install this in your SharePoint machine. 

Note: Don't forget to restart the machine to take effect.

That's it...

Reason:

You will get this error while you are trying to add the content database in central admin for any of the existing website.

This is because of some bug in the MOSS 2007 SP2

Solution:

Anyhow you can easily add the content DB using the STSADM tool. Just go to the 12 hive folder in command prompt and type the below command.

stsadm -o addcontentdb -url "http://weburl:5005" -databasename "Your Content DB Name" -databaseserver "Your DB Server"

Error:

Your personal site cannot be created because the managed path "personal" has not been created for this site. Contact your site administrator for more information.

Solution:

Just follow the below steps to add "Personal" path as "Managed Path".

1. Go to "Central admin"

2. Select "Application Management" and select the specific "Web Application".

3. Type the 'MySite Host' URL as I mentioned in the above image. (I have created new site collection for MySite. So, I have added 'sites/mysite/personal' in the above screenshot).

Thats it...

In SharePoint 2010, MySite is not Working

Issue:

In SharePoint 2010, If you click on the "people", usually you will be redirected to see their profiles page (My Site). But sometimes, you will get "404 file not found" error.

Reason

The reason is, the "my site" may not be created for the profile or the created profile pages may not be crawled at this time.

Solution: 

To avoid this kind of issues, first we must ensure some of the mandatory points given below:

1. You must create a Site collection from central admin or web application with "Search Center" template.

2. Create another subsite with "My Host Site" template from "Enterprise" tab through Central admin. 

3. Then goto "User Profiles Service Application" home page and select the "Setup My Sites" from "My Site Settings" section.

4. In the next screen, type the search center web application URL under the "Preferred Search center" text box, which we have created in step 1. (Mandatory)

5. Under the "My Site Host Location", Type the URL which we have created in Step 2. (Mandatory)

6. Then Click OK.

3. Then, Start full import from Search service. (Mandatory)

Thats it...
