I can open the Staging website pages in the CMS context (frame). I can edit pages using XPM functionality. I can see items being created in the Preview Session DB. But when I select the "Update Preview" button, it says "Loading..." and afterwards I see the exact same page as before, without my change . I am getting the following error in preview log file.

Explanation: When I start the XPM first time on my pages,I got the following errors.

Error 1 comes only first time, later I don't see this error but Error 2 keeps coming and my update session doesn't work . Error 3 also keeps coming frequently. It also tries to write a temp file into the local image and local aspx folders respectively(ERROR 4)

ERROR 1:

On Tridion GUI

Unable to update the changes using OData Service. The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

  • possible duplicate of XPM "Update Preview" not working
    – Hiren Kaku
    Commented Jun 8, 2015 at 3:16
  • I have seen this "error" quite often in my logs files in both working and non-working instances of XPM and it can be very misleading. I would suggest disregarding this message from the log file and looking at other posts that explain what the steps to determine the real problem are.

  • DD4T or Tridion Templating? Same across a range of page/content types/fields? perhaps check this albertromkes.com/2013/01/24/… (old post but still useful as an initial steps to test)

    Commented Jun 9, 2015 at 13:14
  • Mark : The post above doesnt help as I have configured all okay I guess. Now I am getting some other errors also. I will update the question with errors again. Can someone please tell me where all XPM tries to create temporary files while exceution.

I see two problems in your log files which I will address below.

Unable to update the changes using OData Service. The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

When Experience Manager tries to save the updated preview rendered output in the Preview database (via the OData service) the OData service generates a 500 error. You will want to examine the content delivery log files of the OData service to identify what went wrong. My first guess would be that the extensions for Experience Manager for this service have not been properly installed or configured...

Note that it is perfectly possible to have a "working" OData web service and still get this error due to the mentioned extensions required.

Lots of error for creating temp files in local folders and we dont have permission to do so. Can we map it to some other temp folder ??

No. In order for Dynamic Preview to work properly with a statically published page solution (i.e. pages are published as .aspx files on the filesystem of your CD server) SDL Tridion uses an HttpModule to intercept the request for the page, get the modified page content from the Preview database and create a temporary .aspx file next to the original file and executes that file instead of the original one.

This architecture relies on the web application's ability to write to its own root folder (which is inherently insecure but that's why this feature is activated only on the staging environment and never on the live environment!).

If for some reason you have a security restriction that disallows this you can simply not use dynamic preview. You can disable dynamic preview from the content manager in that case.

I got it working by giving permission to IIS Users on published data .

"icacls **:*\tridion published Content path" /grant:r "BUILTIN\IIS_IUSRS:(OI)(CI)(M)"**
