Sharepoint 2010 Web databases – Preparing site wait a moment and refresh your browser

By peter.stilgoe









If you are trying to deploy a Sharepoint 2010 site template based on a Access Web Database & you see the following error:

Preparing Site …

Someone has recently made changes to this site and the site is being updated. If the site remains offline for an extended period of time, contact a site owner.

Wait a moment and refresh your browser

You probably havent set up your Access service application:

Create a Access Service Application
(Central Administration –-> Manage Service Applications –-> New –-> Access Services)

Started the Access Database Service
(Central Administration –-> Manage Services on Server)

Now open the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell and enter:

enable-spSessionStateService –DataBaseName <NameOfYourNewDatabase>

This creates a session state database and turns on the session state service.

    Thanks, this info helped. BTW, my session state service already existed (and was started), so I skipped the last step.

    Central Admin > Manage Service Applications > SharePoint Server ASP.NET Session State Service > Status = Started.
