Error “Sorry, apps are turned off”: what to do

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 18:38:24 +0000

If you are trying to install the web part on a SharePoint 2019 server, you may encounter the following error when adding it to your site: “Sorry, apps are turned off. If you know who runs the server, tell them to enable apps.”

Here are the possible reasons and solutions for this error:

Apps are not enabled in your farm	Ensure you have Apps enabled in your SharePoint 2019 farm.
Subscription service is not setup	The first and most likely problem is that the subscription service is not configured in your farm.Please configure it.
The app management service is not associated with your web application	Make sure the app management service application is associated with the web application where you want to add the SPFx web part.
App URL is not configured	If you have not configured the app URLs, please ensure you have given values to App Domain and App Prefix in your App Store settings.

If the error persists after following the above solutions, please create a ticket so our technical support team can analyze the problem.

Installing the Virto Calendar SPFx web part and Mini Calendar

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 18:38:20 +0000

To start using the Virto Calendar web part on modern sites/pages of SharePoint 2019, please follow the steps below:

Create a Tenant App Catalog in your SharePoint if necessary.
To install the Virto Calendar web part, run the Setup.exe file under the farm administrator account (right-click the Setup file and choose “Run as administrator”).

The .sppkg file will be automatically uploaded to your Tenant App Catalog under **“Apps for SharePoint.”**However, please verify the existence of the .sppkg file in your app catalog. Alternatively, you can download the file directly from https://virtostorage.blob.core.windows.net/download/addin/virto-calendar-modern-webpart.sppkg.

Installing the Virto Calendar web part

Before you begin, ensure you have access to the server and that your account has the necessary administrative privileges to install applications.

To access the Virto Calendar setup program, download the Virto.SharePoint.20XX.CalendarWebPart.zip file from the product page and unzip it (using “Extract All”). Run the extracted Setup file.

The installation process is the same for all SharePoint versions. If you’re installing Virto ONE, follow the same steps.

The setup wizard window will appear.

Expected outage

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 18:38:10 +0000

The expected outage time ranges from two minutes to several hours, depending on your hardware and the number of SharePoint sites. We recommend that all Virto users perform upgrades or installations of the web part over the weekend.

For users with 100+ site collections, we suggest using PowerShell for the setup instead of setup.exe. Please contact our technical support for further details.
