OneNote Web App cannot open this notebook because the Office Web Apps Feature isn't activated on this site collection. Try opening the file in Microsoft OneNote.

After the SharePoint administrator has installed, configured, and activated Office Web Apps, end users might receive an error message when they try to view or edit Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft OneNote documents in the browser.


These errors might occur for one or more of the following reasons: (Microsoft recommendations)

  • The SharePoint administrator has run Office Web Apps Setup, which configures the default open behavior for SharePoint to open Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote documents in the browser by using their associated Web application. However, the SharePoint administrator has not yet started the services, created the service applications, and activated the Office Web Apps feature.
  • The Office Web Apps services are not started on the Web front-end server.
  • The Office Web Apps service applications and proxies have not been created.
  • The Office Web Apps service applications proxies are not associated with the proxy group of the Web application that the site collection belongs to.
  • There might be a problem with the permissions for the service account that is used to run the Web application or one of the Office Web Apps services: Excel Calculation Services, PowerPoint Service, or Word Viewing Service. The Web application and service applications must have the appropriate permissions to access the content databases and the configuration database.
Resolution:

  • The SharePoint administrator can avoid end users' seeing error messages while he or she finishes additional deployment tasks to deploy Office Web Apps on a live production server. We recommended that you enable the OpenInClient feature on existing site collections before you run Setup.
  • Activate the Office Web Apps feature for the site collection. For information about how to activate the Office Web Apps feature for a site collection.

    Generally page layouts are given by the site master pages so anybody can think that they need their own customized home page/I want myname.aspx, myprojectname.aspx, mydepartname.aspx Instead of default.aspx so requirements will be many but logic should be ready to answer the queries.

    I am highlighting some methods by which we can change the home page of the site but anybody wants to append something then always welcome J

    1.      If the publishing feature is enabled for your site collection then the process is very simple as follows:

    ·  Open the site collection that you are referring
    ·  Site actions
    ·  Site settings
    ·  Under Look and Feel
    ·  Welcome Page


    2.      SharePoint Designer: We all knows as how much powerful SharePoint designer is as compare to the default GUI.
