I have gone through the Walkthrough example in the help documentation. I have been able to do all the steps up to Starting the Process from the process properties in K2 studio. The infopath form opens, I fill in the first and last name, start and end date, and click sumit. I get an error message stating..."Infopath cannot submit the form. An error occurred while the form was being submitted". No error messages in my event log, and no error messages in the K2.net Server Manager.

Any ideas on what to check or what this could be?

I have studio installed with infopath on a windows xp client, and K2 server installed on a Windows 2003 Server machine.

I am just trying to evaluate this product, but can't get a simple example configured.
This could mean one of a few things,
can you give us a bit more info on the error "Infopath cannot submit the form. An error occurred while the form was being submitted" try expanding the box and telling us what the message says.

I'm guessing its because you havent added domain users the 'start' permission for your form in the k2 user manager.
The error message cannot be expanded. I also verified that my user has all permissions including start in the k2 server manager. you mentioned the user manager. is this something different. i don't have that option. i can work with users in server manager.
It is possible that your problem is related to the fact that the InfoPath doc cannot be submitted due to a security issue in IE.

Try adding your site (Windows 2003 environment) to your trusted sites list in IE:

- Click on Tools and Internet Options.
- Click on the Security tab.
- Click on the green Trusted Sites icon (this will enable the Sites button)
- Click on the Sites button.
- In the Add this Web Site to the zone text box, enter http://<machine name /URL>
- Uncheck the Require server verification (https:) check box.
- Click on Add.
- The URL should be listed in the Web Sites list
- Click on OK.
- On the Internet Options dialog box, adjust the Security Level for the Trusted Sites zone to Low
- Click Ok

Note: You can also cover the entire domain, by using a wildcard character, and entering http://*.<domainname>


The Security settings should now allow IE to submit to the aforementioned URL. Within InfoPath, simply resubmit the form, it should now be allowed.
Hi,

For these kinds of debugging issues I've had good success by stopping the service in the Services MMC and then going to the K2 .Net 2003 program group, right clicking on K2.NET 2003 Server and doing a Run As the service account. Atleast this will let you know if it's getting to the K2 server, it'll (hopefully) also let you know what the error is. My gut is that you don't have your server as a trusted site, or you didn't give the submitting user the Start permission on the Process.
