Hi All,
I have configured Office Web App Server 2013 with SharePoint 2013. It was working fine. Yesterday my system gets shut down all of sudden due to some reason. When I tried to open office documents in our SharePoint Site in browser it gives below error. I have checked "http://servername/hosting/discovery" also, its working fine. I am unable to fine the problem where it occurred all of sudden. I am also not logged in Site with System Account.
Please help.

Hi Everyone,
I got the solution I first reviewed the CPU and memory usage which shows unexpected results. CPU usage was very high and memory usage low. Then I check to Event logs, in which I got that some applications related to office web app server gets terminated unexpectedly. Then I find out the solution at http://mmman.itgroove.net/2013/03/fixing-our-office-web-apps-2013-server/ site. After creating OWAFarm again it works fine as previously.

I have exactly same problem suddenly. OWAS (WAC) 2013 was working just fine for many months and now it does not work anymore - I get the same error. I have Windows Server 2003.
I tried:
1. Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine and then New-OfficeWebAppsFarm ...
2. Repair OWAS installation, and even install June update/fix
3. Completely remove OWAS, reboot and re-install from scratch
4. Recycle service, restart IIS, reboot server - many times
I need solution ASAP - this is production environment.
Anybody knows the fix? Help!

What error is showing in your event log of OWAS? After reinstalling OWAS refeconfigure your SP 2013 with new OWAS after removing the old OWAS. Then restart the SP Server.

There is no SharePoint - we use OWAS (a.k.a. WAC) 2013 for Lync 2013 (share PowerPoint presentations).
When I try accessing any of the 4 URLs that Lync is checking for I get this error:
On the OWAS server itself in the Event Log under OWAS logs there is lots of errors, and all different, so I cannot find the right one. But there are lots of errors. Most of them mentioning watchdog though...
I have a feeling that Microsoft does not like 2008 R2 any more, there are lots of signs everywhere proving that 2008 R2 is no longer favorite OS, so I guess we will be moving to Windows 2012.
The best part in OWAS is that re-deploy brand new server takes only minutes, and there is no data to migrate, no applications to switch etc. Just point same FQDN to new IP address in DNS and use the same SSL certificate and we are done.
If any ideas how to fix it will be great, otherwise most likely will be re-installing OWAS on new server today.
Thanks!
