Form cannot be rendered – InfoPath Forms Services or while publishing Pages.
Yesterday ran into an issue with two different clients. If you did not run the configuration wizard while you have setup your SharePoint Farm it won’t Configure your State Service. You may see an error like –
“The form cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service. For more information, contact your server administrator.”
In order to resolve this issue please refer to the technet article or follow these instructions –
- Verify that you meet the following minimum requirements: See Add-SPShellAdmin.
- On the Start menu, click All Programs.
- Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
- Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
- To create a service application, type the following command:
$serviceApp = New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name “<StateServiceName>”
Where <StateServiceName> is the name for the service application.
- To create a State Service database and associate it with a service application, type the following command:
New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name “<StateServiceDatabase>” -ServiceApplication $serviceApp
Where <StateServiceDatabase> is the name of the State Service database to create and associate with the service application.
- To create a State Service application proxy, associate it with the service application, add it to the farm’s default proxy group, and type the following command:
New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name “<ApplicationProxyName>” -ServiceApplication $serviceApp -DefaultProxyGroup
Where <ApplicationProxyName> is the name of the application proxy.
The above should get this issue resolved.

Last week I was at a client site upgrading their 2007 environment to 2010 environment. I went the Database attach route. I got all the servers running and the upgrade went through without any issues. I asked them to point the DNS entry to the appropriate server and they should be up and running. I was WRONG.
As soon as they pointed their DNS entry to this new server. Some of the subsites started showing the wrong lists. The contacts list was showing some document library and some lists started giving errors that it does not even have the list. I was totally confused with this and after remoting in I started comparing and found out that the server url address would work but the actual DNS entry would not work. Thats when I started thinking about the Alternate Access Mappings.
So, I looked into Alternate Access Mappings and WALLA. There it was. The URL was still pointing to the server address instead of the Intranet URL. Changed the URL and it started working perfectly. Got all my lists back and everything was working as it was supposed to work.
Got one client happy. Few more to go 🙂
