I am attempting to make a copy of a SharePoint 2010 web application and I can get it to the point where I have imported the content from the source site. At this point I hit the login page and that works fine but it then loads the "File not found" error along with a correlation id. Everything I have found on this error seems to point to there being some custom feature on the source site that I don't have on the copy. The question is . . . how can I determine if a SharePoint site has any custom features and what those may be?

Thanks, Doug

Use the Get-SPFeature and Get-SPSolution PowerShell cmd-lets. 

Get-SPFeature –Limit ALL | Where-Object {$_.Scope –eq "SITE"}
Get-SPSite http://somesite | Get-SPWeb –Limit ALL |%{ Get-SPFeature –Web $_ } | Select DisplayName,ID -Unique

  • Migeul . . . Thank you for the help. This combination of cmdlets is great. They showed me exactly what I needed. Unfortunately they also showed me that the list of features for both sites are exactly the same which means the problem lies elsewhere. I do truly appreciate the help. I will definitely be hanging on to this script.

  • Great! I recommend you have a look at the IIS logs on the server you are hitting and last but not least Fiddler is your friend!

It seems that some file is not provisioned like master page, page layout, CSS etc. Check all the custom features/WSPs are being deployed.

If you're unsure about custom features, you may attempt to clean up the faulty feature with SharePoint Feature Admin / Clean Up.

  • Falak . . . Thank you for the reply. I am thinking that I need to generate a list of all items that the source site has and compare it to the same list for the copy. I'm guessing that there is a way to do that using PowerShell but I am just beginning with this whole thing and am not fluent at all with it. I would love to create a script that will generate a list of all of the items that are included in a SharePoint site so I can compare two sites. Are there any good references, that you are aware of, that could help me in doing that?

  • You need to define the scope of troubleshooting. The issue you're facing is likely to be cause by a Master Page url error. Can you do check the site settings page by accessing _layouts/settings.aspx?
