Access Denied When Trying to Create a New Page on a Publishing Site

According to my project. user have to created a new page on SharePoint 2010 publishing page them-self.
But when it the test stage. I got this problem when i log into SharePoint publishing site with contribution privileged.

The account can't create a new page and got the access deny pop up page.
I've found the solution refer to the following blog related with MOSS 2007 but it still works on SharePoint 2010 as well.

http://sharepointsharpener.wordpress.com/2009/02/06/access-denied-when-trying-to-create-a-new-page-on-a-publishing-site/

The solution is just to check the permission on the master page and page layouts document library that allow your user to access them.

XSLT on search results page

I spent a lot of time to solve why the value from managed property in Search results page doesn't appear in my XSLT template.
I just figured it out that xslt variable must be declared with the exactly same name with the managed property.

How stupid I'm.

from my recently post download SharePoint patch
I've got an failure update content database on my SharePoint server farm shown with below picture.

I searched for the solution and found some recommendation from the Microsoft websites

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262967.aspx

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff382638.aspx#FarmRestart

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff608074.aspx

then I checked the PSConfig.exe log file and found some clue why my upgrade was failed.

[OWSTIMER] [SPContentDatabaseSequence] [ERROR] [11/10/2011 2:23:08 PM]: Found a missing feature Id = [a18927ed-93e2-4dcb-be6d-56c469beb929]

[OWSTIMER] [SPContentDatabaseSequence] [ERROR] [11/10/2011 2:23:08 PM]: The feature with Id a18927ed-93e2-4dcb-be6d-56c469beb929 is referenced in the database [MYContentDatabase], but is not installed on the current farm. The missing feature may cause upgrade to fail. Please install any solution which contains the feature and restart upgrade if necessary.

the log file said, there's a missing custom feature i had deployed on MyContentDatabase. So I retracted and remove my custom solution and run this command to upgrade the content database again

psconfig -cmd upgrade -force -inplace v2v -passphrase < passphrase > -wait

the command will upgrade my content database then I redeploy my solution into the content database again.

Download and Update patch on SharePoint Farm

Microsoft has been released SharePoint 2010 patch update for a while refer to the following links.

• Microsoft Office Updates 
• Updates for SharePoint Products 

then I downloaded the SP1 and August CU updates from the above site. Service Pack1 for many products

1. Documentum Search connector SP1
2. FAST Search for SharePoint SP1
3. FAST Search for SharePoint August CU
4. Office Web Apps SP1
5. SharePoint August CU
6. SharePoint SP1
7. SharePoint Designer SP1

All of their size around ~2GB. the SharePoint August CU size is about 1GB. I though there's a lot of bug in SharePoint.

User Profile Sync Replicate Access Denied 8453

I've a change to sync 7 Domains with approx 30k users account. follow user profile sync for SharePoint on technet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721049.aspx

but there's a domain it's domain name doesn't match with user account domain. So, I've to enable NETBIOSDomainNamesEnabled to true

But it still doesn't work. it still error with replicate access denied. Finally, I've found another solution for this challenge. 1.uncheck all directory partition in Configure Directory Partition in AD Connection. only one left.

2.Check Configure Run Profile, does it has only one step. if not, remove all other step.

Then run full sync again and it works. Hope this post helps saving you time.

Filed to initialize session with document engine: Unable to resolve Contentdistributor

Error Message in event viewer
Failed to connect to servername.domain.com:13391 Failed to initialize session with document engine: Unable to resolve Contentdistributor.

I got this error log several times. One is from Office Web Apps installation.
I installed FAST for SharePoint before deploying OWA. after that i got this error.
the other one I think it occurs after FAST and SharePoint Server were migrated to a new server using vMotion.

Solution.
Just reinstall FAST Certificate into SharePoint Server again follow the step in the below link.
Configure SSL enabled communication

then restart both FAST and SharePoint server.

Cheers
