SharePoint – cannot complete this action error

sharepoint

Really wish i was God, then I would understand what this means:

The element 'MyList' of type 'ListInstance' for feature 'MyLists' (id: f3981600- c824-4f88-85ce-94d049ba63ee) threw an exception during activation: Cannot complete this action. Please try again.

Anyone know what this error "really means". Its happening when i try activate the feature.

The feature on activated code is pretty straight forward:

    public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
    {
        using (SPWeb site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb)
        {
            SPList list = site.Lists["My Messages"];
            list.ContentTypesEnabled = true;
            list.Update(); 
        }
    }

There was an error somewhere in either the list instance, list definition, list schema or the feature receiver, unfortunately with MOSS - you don't always get real error messages or an easy way to debug... So I ended up starting over... completely and building in functionality 1 line at a time....

Ssl – Trouble configuring apache server to proxy an SSL connection

The error you're getting is probably due to the fact that your client (Firefox) is trying to use SSL, but you Apache virtual host does not have SSL enabled.

In order for your clients to be able to communicate via SSL with your front-end proxy, you're going to need to do SSL on the front-end, not in Tomcat. You gain absolutely nothing by using SSL between Apache and Tomcat.

In your <VirtualHost> block, you're going to need at least:

SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile ...
SSLCertificateKeyFile ...

Also, note htat SELinux has absolutely nothing to do with SSL, other than the fact that a misconfigured SELinux environment could prevent Apache from being able to read the necessary SSL certificates.

If you're not using Apache as anything other than a simple proxy and you're really not comfortable with Apache configuration you could in theory get rid of it and just have Tomcat listen on port 443 (by modifying the appropriate Connector block).

Sharepoint Error: [COMException (0x80004005): Cannot complete this action

I know this is late, but just in case it might still help someone, I came to find that the odd exception is probably due to a miss-format in the CAML query that is sent to interrogate the list.

In my case, I forgot to add the /> tag closing at the end of an FieldRef tag.

Here's my stack trace:
