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

That means, the data which is present in the list is not being retrieved. Don't be panic. Just open the LOG file which is present in 14 hive folder. You will come to know about this bug with the statement -"The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator". Now what you have to do is, go to central administration site.  1.Click on Manage web application 2.Select the web application on which your sitecollection is created. 3.Click on General settings and select Resource throttling 4.by default list view threshold would be 5000. your list might have data more than 5000.

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.
