Environment set up for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 with search server express

In the SharePoint world, Many a times after installing everything including search server express, when you tried to crawl the contents, it may give some nonsense error  and you may not be able to understand what it is.
The solution i have come across is , during the installations of required software you have to take care . The search server  express might not be having certain files which is required for search to work properly.  For that you need to install service pack .

    Here are the procedure to set up the environment for SharePoint :


  1. Download Microsoft SharePoint Foundation from the below link:


     2. Download Search Server express from the below link:
          http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18914
     3. Download the SP1 for Microsoft SharePoint foundation:
          http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26640

After installing MS SQL full version ,( it will install .net framework also. If you want visual studio for developement , then install visual studio 2010, else no need) , start installing the following  software in the given ORDER

  •  Microsoft SharePoint Foundation
  • Search Server express
  •     SP1
Now once again re-run the SharePoint configuration wizard.  We have to re run the sharepoint configuration wizard because after installing SP1 for sharepoint foundation 2010, it will fix certain bugs which search server express has with it. 

Now continue with the configuration of your SharePoint site.

Hope this may help some one
 Cheers

The Fastest way to Export Schema of Sharepoint List

Many of my SharePoint Developer friends are struggling to get the Schema.xml file of a newly created list. The schema.xml file has the list's metadata information, by using the schema.xml, we can create the lis definition and paste this contents of Schema.xml to the Schema.xml file of the newly created List definition, so that you can deploy the list definition on another site. In order to do this, you guys might be following the procedure bu saving the site template and get the site definition solution. After this, you will open visual studio and import this solution and wait for few minutes. THIS IS A CRAPPY PROCEDURE..Why do you invest your time to get a schema of one or few list  by taking entire site definition?..If that site has lots of lists, then it will take lots of time. In my Research, i have found a the BEST  and quicker way to get schema.xml file of a particular list which you need Schema.xml. Follow the following procedure : Go to your site  click on the lis

By looking at this bug you may get shocked and may not understand why this is happening. I can say, you have developed a wsp of farm solution, not the sandboxed solution  using visual studio and added some OOTB webparts such as visual webparts and trying to deploy the solution via solution gallery directly on to the sharepoint site. It is so simple.Understand that, when you create a .wsp file using visual studio, you deploy as farm solution. But when you try to deploy the same solution from site settings-> solution gallery, you deploy it as sand boxed solution. In this situation ,the "TemplateFiles" elements refers to the items that will be copied into the web servers. This is allowed only in farm solutions , not in sandboxed solutions. I suggest you guys to deploy the solution either using stsadm command or powershell command, so that it will work fine.If anyone wants to know about how to deploy using powershell command you can refer the   techNet  document for
