I’ve created a new sharepoint application so I could use the my site feature. For that i’ve followed this tutorial:
http://odole.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/how-to-configure-shared-service-provider-and-mysite/
which made me create an application for the sharedservices provider (http://moss2k7:50000/)and another for the my site (http://moss2k7:1/).
But when I try to access the my site application I get the sharepoint error:
The evaluation version of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for
this server has expired
although my license is valid and I can do other stuff with sharepoint.
I’ve search for a solution and find out these ones:
-
Add read permissions to WSS_WPG and Full permissions for WSS_ADMIN_WPG – which they already had;
-
Add “%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Bin;%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Bin;” to the MIDDLE of the PATH environment variable
But none of those worked.
Any Additional solutions?
I’m going to assume that you’re running MOSS and not WSS (if you’re using WSS, you’ll need to upgrade to get the my site feature). However I remember back when the first service pack came out, there was a little surprise where it sometimes deleted your key (happened to us and we couldn’t figure out why our search stopped working for about three days). Double check in Central Administration > Operations > Convert License Type. If it says evaluation, just reenter your product key and it should work again.
