SharePoint: The server block is not well formed

21 Jun 2010

In SharePoint we have a document library for OneNote documents. This morning we had a problem that our OneNotes did not synchronize anymore with the SharePoint OneNote library.

As we browsed to the library, we received the following error:
”The Server block is not well formed”

It had something to do with the default view, which was corrupt. To resolve the problem, follow the steps below:

  • Go to your document library and change the AllItems.aspx part @ the end of your url to webfldr.aspx
  • Click on [Settings] and choose [Document Libary Settings]
  • Create a new view, name it temp or so (you can use allitems as a start of your view)
  • Again go back to your document library and change AllItems.aspx again to temp.asxp (or the name you choose).
  • Click Actions and choose [Open with Windows Explorer]
  • Change AllItems.asxp to AllItems_old.asxp
  • Rename temp.asxp to AllItems.asxp
  • If you browse to your document library, you will now see that the view is still named “temp’, open [Settings] again and choose [Document Libary Settings]Settings]
  • Change the Temp view, make it default and rename the view name to AllItems
