So your Office Web Apps isn't working...Suddenly stopped working

This happened to me the other day.

So how to troubleshoot... Look in the ULS logs.

To configure office web apps you'll need:

-Office Web Apps Farm Internal URL:
-Office Web Apps Farm External URL
-CertificateName
-AllowHttpSecureStoreConnections
-AllowHttp

For me it turned out to be the certificate.

I found errors in Office Web Apps ULS logs, so I had also run Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm command which showed me the same error that the computer is not part of an Office Web Apps Server Farm. So I tried creating a new farm using New-OfficeWebAppsFarm comment yesterday where I used "*.domainname.com” as a certificate name in this command, but I got an error that certificate was not found. Then today I used the friendly name of the certificate and it worked.

Do you want Office 365 training?

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "https://sharewap.greenpages.com" -ExternalUrl "https://sharewap.domainname.com" -CertificateName " domainnameDigiCert Wildcard" -EditingEnabled

This problem usually happens due to windows updates getting installed on the Office web apps server.
