Man I love SharePoint error messages! ;) Maurice wrote a nice article about how to deal with the “A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Web Part Page cannot be displayed or imported because it is not registered on this site as safe.” error, from a developers point of view. It made me think and realise that SharePoint error messages are the best. So here is a list with my best messages:
- Unexpected Error occurred. When you try to connect to a configuration database (KB827841)
- General error occurred. When you try to create a portal site (KB827391)
- Form Validation Error. When uploading files into SharePoint (KB894629)
- Your search encountered and error. If the problem persists, contact the portal site administrator. When trying to do a search in your portal (KB838223)
- 'Edit Document' requires a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater. When you try to open a document in SharePoint (KB8936989)
- Cannot complete this action. When trying to open a WSS site (KB834546).
- Cannot connect to configuration database. When you access a WSS site (KB833183)
I know there are more and better error messages out there, so feel free contribute on this list! BTW, good thing to see that most of the errors are listed in the MS KB
