Hi
I need to open the SharePoint 2013 documents (word, pdf, ppt, excel) in client browser. I have configured Office web app server in SharePoint server and set the following properties,
SPWOPIZONE is set to external-http
OAUTH is set to true
When i try to open the documents from client browser, it tries to open in client application (i.e. MS office installed in my client pc) instead of open the documents in browser mode even i enabled the document library properties to “Open in browser”.
What makes to work it in browser ? Please advise
Ok, step me through what you have done?
- Installed OWA on a different server
- Created a new OWA farm in PS New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL “https://YourSite.domain.com” -CertificateName “CERTNAME” -EditingEnabled -OpenFromURLEnabled
- Created a binding from your SP server to OWA server in PS New-SPWOPIBinding “owaserver.domain.com”
Hi Marc,
1. When i click on ‘add new’ it allows me to upload a document instead of creating a new document.
2. I am not able to preview the documents, it shows “Something went wrong”.
- What happens when you click ‘add new’ in a document library? Does the relevant office web app open in the browser and allow you to create documents
- Can you preview exisiting documents in a library via the ellipsis next to the document?
