Accessing lists on a Sharepoint child site as opposed to the parent site

Thanks for replying.  I tried to do what you suggested however I get the same error "Server was unable to process request -> User cannot be found".  Is accessing a list from a child site not a common thing?  It seems this would be a common request.

Vernon,

Again thanks for your help.  You are correct in assuming I am experiencing these issues in Visual Studio.  When I select Users in the Object Browser I get an "Invalid Packet Header Received" and the information below when I hit details. 

To explain my environment I have a VPC as my development workstation that is connecting to the Sharepoint server and K2 servers also in my development envrionment.  The user that I log into on my VPC is joined to the domain and is named "Administrator".  This user however cannot log into Sharepoint and I have another user that I connect to Sharepoint with called "App_Admin".    In the k2 Workspace under the Security tab I was able to add both "Administrator" and "App_Admin" to the allowed users.

Try the following:

1.)    Browse to ‘[Program files]K2 blackpearlin’ folder

2.)    Open ‘configurationmanager.config’ file with Notepad.

3.)    Under the ‘plugin’ section look for ‘<add key="UserBrowserServer" value="Integrated=True;IsPrimaryLogin=True;Authenticate=True;EncryptedPassword=False;Host=167.0.0.2;Port=5555" />’

4.)    Change the Host value to your k2server’s ip address.

It seems to me you cant find the users.

What version of Blackpearl are you running? Can’t seem to recreate the issue.  Have you tried adding the child site as a service instance again? If possible can you provide the exact steps/settings/options you used when you created the sub site?

Vernon

It’s only a pleasure; can you maybe share with us what solved the Child site issue?
