Problem



During the creation of a Site Collection in Microsoft SharePoint 2010, custom solutions can be activated (WSP files, e.g. from a Solution Gallery in SharePoint).

With these solutions activated, custom templates become available to be loaded. Loading the (custom) templates results in an error “An unexpected error has occurred”. The status shows “Site creation failed”.

Errors also appear when scan on upload in SPSS is disabled, and Scan engine does not show any errors.
No errors appear when SPSS is not installed.

Environment



Windows 2008 R2 (Hyper-V image)

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 RTM

Symantec Protection for SharePoint Servers (SPSS) 6.0

 

 


Cause



 

 

 

 

During the activation of the solution, SharePoint calls the AV scanner. Whenever AV scanner calls our SPSS component it acquires a TCP channel however the same channel is also required by the activation process of the solution.

 

 

 

 

 

This is causing a  TCP Channel conflict between SPSS and SharePoint.

Solution



 

This issue has been resolved in the Symantec Protection for SharePoint Servers 6.0.1 build.  Please upgrade to SPSS 6.0.1 to resolve this issue.  If upgrading from SPSS 6.0 to 6.0.1 is not an immediate option, below are the steps to patch build 6.0 (Code was modified in 5 DLLs and 1 EXE file.
