The most common causes of problems with Office Web Applications are:

  • OWA not installed (obvious, but it happens)
  • Word viewing/PowerPoint/Excel calculation service not started
  • Word viewing/PowerPoint/Excel calculation service application not created
  • OWA service account does not have db_owner rights on the content database

I would suggest checking through these first.

  • Good. If you are happy that this answers your question, please "accept" it (using the icon in the left margin - only the questioner is able to do this). Apart from rewarding the provider of the answer, this makes it easier for other users of the site. – SPDoctor♦ Nov 7 '11 at 14:41
  • A follow up with code examples might help others here Get-SPWebApplication | % { $_.GrantAccessToProcessIdentity((Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity "SharePoint Web Services" | select -expand ProcessAccountName)) } this will add the selected system application pool user as db_owner on all content databases in the web applications, grant user read access to config db, grant the user full control policy to all content in web app and add the user to WSS_WPG local group on all servers in farm. – Anders Rask Jan 25 '13 at 11:41
