I setup a new SharePoint 2013 farm, host-named sites under a single web application, claims authentication, everything was running pretty smooth.
I have a need to move over an exisiting SharePoint 2010 setup and incorporating it into the 2013 farm.
I created a new web application, completed the database-attach upgrade (It does say the upgrade failed because of a missing feature, but the status says 100% completed. I did run the Test-SPContentDatabase and this same issue came up but no others. This
feature is installed on the 2013 farm but only available in the 2013 environment, not the 2010, so I think this may be why this occurred? I have disabled the feature for now to continue testing this upgrade.). After the upgrade, I am able to login to the site
and access most of the content (I have a couple InfoPath forms that I need to update, so I cannot currently access any of those xml files.)
BUT - my current issue - I cannot access the upgraded site with SharePoint designer - It comes back with a 'The server could not complete your request'. I click on details and the box is blank. This message just keeps coming up, I have to end the SPDesigner
process in taskmgr to get out of it. I reviewed the SharePoint logs - nothing seems to stand out. I am sure it is in there, just not sure where to start. I am able access all the other sites on the other exisiting web application with SPDesigner no problem.
I have browsed through pages of topics on here and can't seem to figure out where to start.
Is there a log configuration setting I could set to figure out what happened? Or something I should search for in the log to know when SPDesigner is trying to connect? Could it be that feature is still causing trouble? Or the InfoPath forms (they are all
no-code forms so none need the elevated access)? Or something else to look into? Any help would be appreciated!
