Question

installing Sharepoint team service 3.0 template

Asked by: marrowyung

Dear all,

I found that there are a lot of problem when installing installing Sharepoint team service 3.0 template. When I follow the instruction in readme.txt for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Application Template Application Template Core, it works: "stsadm -o addsolution -filename
   ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp" , I have to include also the full path name for ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp.

 I found that if I have to install the .stp files, it works from within the sharepoint central administration console by "uploading" it.

  But some template is the same .wsp format as the Template Core, but when following the instructions from readme,txt, it doesn't work after importing :

run "stsadm -o addsolution -filename
   <template_name>.wsp"

the stsadm commands show me that the command is not working, which I just copy and paste the same command from readme.txt

Any reason why I can't import any sharepoint template in WSP format?

Could you past what exacly the stsadm is returning after you paste the command that is not working

 

by: marrowyungPosted on 2009-09-27 at 22:29:22ID: 25436865

parameter is incorrect.

Just don't know why doing for application core template.wsp everything is ok.

 

by: dp_expertPosted on 2009-09-28 at 00:57:41ID: 25437393

Can you also paste the command itself. Also, are you sure both wsp are in the same place on the drive?

 

by: marrowyungPosted on 2009-09-28 at 01:48:43ID: 25437611

yes, both wsp are in the same place on the drive.

I just follow the command list in readme file.

Let me do it in here again:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"stsadm -o addsolution -filename
   ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp" , I have to include also the full path name for ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp.

 I found that if I have to install the .stp files, it works from within the sharepoint central administration console by "uploading" it.

  But some template is the same .wsp format as the Template Core, but when following the instructions from readme,txt, it doesn't work after importing :

run "stsadm -o addsolution -filename
   <template_name>.wsp"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

by: dp_expertPosted on 2009-09-28 at 02:38:13ID: 25437806

Can you tell me what is the solution you are trying to import? I would neet the exact command that returns the error, maybe something is missing in it. Also, are you sure that the solution is working properly (that is - was working fine somewhere else and that the problem does not lay in the solution itself)?

 

by: marrowyungPosted on 2009-09-28 at 03:12:36ID: 25437950

Yes, this solution is working fine for applicatoin core.wsp, it just don't work for the rest of the .wsp files.

 

by: dp_expertPosted on 2009-09-28 at 03:44:36ID: 25438078

i'm not asking if the addsoultion or the stsadm is working properly. I'm asking about the solution you are trying to depoly (the wsp file). What is the name of the wsp you are trying to setup?

Can you paste the full command you are pasting into the stsadm (please do not paste the "stsadm -o addsolution -filename  <template_name>.wsp" - paste exacly what you are pasting into the stsadm. If you could tell me what solution you are trying to add and where you got it form, then I could try to recreate the error.

 

by: marrowyungPosted on 2009-09-28 at 08:51:13ID: 25440364

Dear Dp_exert,

I try to copy the command from other link from Microsoft, it is the same thing but this time it works.

I have 2x question:
1) If I want to deploy the GroupBoard Workspace 2007, it seems that I can only create a site first and then extend the web using the GroupBoard Workspace 2007 template, this one is different again even it is WSP file.
2) I find that SSO and form authenication doensn't work, I think I can only modify the web.config and let hte sharepoint use SQL server login, anyway I can do this?

 

by: dp_expertPosted on 2009-09-28 at 09:03:35ID: 25440474

I think you should post a new post about the GroupBoard - I don't know anything about it.
