There was an error opening the document. The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved PDF Error 

                              

When opening a pdf file from SharePoint, you get an error message and the file will not open. "There was an error opening the document. The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved".

Issue: This is caused by a download limit in the registry settings.  It is not related to the file size upload limit set in SharePoint central admin.

Solution: Make a change in the registry settings.
 

·         Go to run and type regedit.

·         Find this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

·         Right click on the FileSizeLimitInBytes and click Modify

·         Click on Decimal

·         In the Value data box, type 4294967295, and then click OK. Note this sets the maximum you can download from the WebDAV to 4 gig at one time,

Note: restart your computer if necessary or re-start WEBCLIENT service

People Search Not Working SharePoint 2013

People Search Not Working SharePoint 2013                  

               

No people show up in the people search.  You have everything set up correctly for User profiles and search application.

Issue: In my case, it was that the default content access account did not have correct permissions set in the My Site service application.  It was also that I didn't tell the search content sources that there was a My Site. I also added a crawl rule, but I suspect this was overkill and would have worked with the first two steps.

Resolution:

Set the permissions for the search crawler to Retrieve People Data. Go into Application Management -> Manage Service Applications page.  Highlight the User Profile Service Application line.  In the ribbon, click on Administrators.  Add the Default content access account (check what it is on the front page of the Search Administration page) and make sure that Retrieve People Data for Search Crawlers is checked.  Click on OK.

Make sure you type the sharepoint://hostname into the content sources.  This tells the search that this is not just content - it is a My Site service app.  If you don't add it, but just list the URL of the My Site Host, the crawler will crawl the content, but not the profiles.


Create a crawl rule. Go to Search Administration -> Crawl Rules -> Add Crawl Rule. In the Path box, type sharepoint://<hostname>, where <hostname> is the URL for the Web application where you deployed the My Sites site collection.

Do a full crawl.

SharePoint default page not loading by default.aspx

I find that I can't browse SharePoint 80 or SharePoint Central Administration v4 or any sites using the default URL (http://webserver/). I’m trying to do this locally from the actual server SharePoint is running on. It gives a HTTP 404 'Webpage cannot be found' error in IE. If I want to view either of these, I have to specifically type default.aspx manually:

http://webserver/default.aspx to view the SharePoint 80 site
http://webserver:port/default.aspx to view central admin. 

                       

It is the same when using local host instead of web server. I again will have to enter default.aspx to come the pages up.

Here are some things I've tried already but had no luck:

Added http://webserver and other relevant names in Alternate Access Mappings
Ensured Default.aspx is top of the list in 'Default Documents' in IIS7
Checked the hosts file
Set DisableloopbackCheck in registry and restarted.

Solution: I resolve the issue once I run the products and technologies wizard. Once the wizard is successful, All the sites including central admin came up by default without manually typing the default.aspx.
