Hi All,
If you have skipped the Farm
Configuration Wizard when you installed SharePoint 2010 you might come across
this error trying to publish a page or stating a workflow. “The form
cannot be rendered. This may be due to a misconfiguration of the Microsoft
SharePoint Server State Service. For more information, contact your server
administrator”. The State Service is a shared service that is used by
some Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 components to store temporary data.
The State Service is automatically
configured as part of the Basic SharePoint Server 2010 installation.
Advanced installation of SharePoint
Server 2010 requires separate configuration of the State Service. You can
configure the State Service after installation of SharePoint Server 2010 by
using one of the following one of below way:
1. Configure the State Service using
the Farm Configuration Wizard
If the State Service check box is
unavailable, it has already been configured. After initial configuration, you
can only configure the State Service by using Windows PowerShell.
On the Central Administration Web
site, on the left navigation at the bottom, click Configuration Wizards.
SharePoint Central
Administration àConfiguration Wizards àLaunch the Farm
Configuration Wizard
On the first page of the Farm
Configuration Wizard, click Start the Wizard.
On the services configuration page,
in the Services section, select the State Service check box (and/or any other
services you might be interested) and click Next.
If you set-up a top-level site already
click on Skip button if not go ahead and create it now by clicking OK.
On the final page of the Farm
Configuration Wizard, review your freshly installed services and click Finish.
2. Configure the State Service using
Windows PowerShell
On the Start menu, click All
Programs >> Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products >> SharePoint 2010
Management Shell.
Run the following command
$serviceApp = New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name
"State Service"
New-SPStateServiceDatabase -Name
"StateServiceDatabase" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp
New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name "State
Service" -ServiceApplication $serviceApp -DefaultProxyGroup
After set-up make sure you verify
that your Web Application is associated with the new State Service Service Application
by going to Central Administration >> Service Application Associations.
Click on your Web Application and a window will pop-up with all associated
services. State Services should be checked.
