InfoPath Dev

I'm trying to publish to a Form library, but I keep getting this error message... "InfoPath cannot save the following form: https://testNet/teams/ms/MyNewFormLibrary This document library was either renamed for deleted, or network problems are preventing the file from being saved.  If this problem persists, contact your network administrator". I'm not publishing from the same server as SharePoint is located because I've read a few fixes for that scenario.  I'm using InfoPath 2013 and SharePoint 2016.

Please note that I'm able to publish to a List, without any issues.

I've been working with InfoPath for quite a few years, so this is really stumping me.  I've tried creating the Form Library, then publishing the form to it.  I've tried creating the Form library at the time when publishing, but receive the same error message for both attempts. I've selected "run as Administrator" when opening InfoPath Designer.   I'm the Admin, so I can remote into the server where Central Admin is located.  I tried to make it an admin approved form, but when I try to active the Form Template it says "This form template cannot be activated because it is still being uploaded to the farm. Wait until the form template's status is Ready and try again." This is a test form, so it only has a couple fields. tried to active it a few days later, but received the same message.

I highly appreciate any help in solving this mystery!  

I would try running Fiddler while publishing, finding the publish request / response & see if there is any better info there. Another place to look is your SharePoint ULS logs. Is your SharePoint server up-to-date on patches?

Hi Hilary,

Thank you so much for taking a peek at this!  All of our server patches are up-to-date. 

So after some digging I was able to narrow down info from the logs.  The log is very long, but I thought these first 4 lines might provide a clue. On a side note, all of these lines started with "SharePoint Server Distributed Cache Unexpected".  The first line says "Ensure that security permission has been granted for this client account" which might be my best clue.  Does this ring a bell?  I thought I had Full Control everywhere, but could there be somewhere that you could think of that I am missing permissions?  ....or could it be something else?

Thank you! 

 

It doesn't - let's try the Fiddler trace approach. You would need to have Fiddler installed on your machine & open while you publish - once publish fails, you can look at the list of the URLs in the left pane of Fiddler for the publish URL - it will likely be red, since publishing failed. Then you could look at the request & response (I can help you with that). Here is a link to info that looks to be the same as the error in your first line: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/brian_farnhill/2014/06/24/exception-microsoft-applicationserver-caching-datacacheexception-errorcodeerrca0017substatuses0006/
