  Solving yet another "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException: Unknown Error"

  There are a thousand possible things that can throw a "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException", but fewer things, that are ambiguous enough to be called "Unknown error". This post describes one fairly usual fix for this issue! But let's get back to the beginning for a second - you get what and when now? When running any code, that provisions new sites (much like https://www.koskila.

  #Hacktoberfest 2018 - a fun way to encourage Open Source contributions!

  This post is about the Hacktoberfest event in 2018. I contributed to Microsoft's repositories and a couple of other ones - and it was a lot of fun! Wow - I'm quite behind on this post, but thought it's worthwhile to give credit where credit is due. Even if that credit comes woefully slowly! In 2018, Microsoft took part in DigitalOcean's Hacktoberfest -challenge.

  Oh no! PowerShell cached my Azure credentials and I messed up wrong customer's environment!

  Whoops. This could happen to anyone since the Azure PowerShell (approximately) version 6.3.0 will cache your credentials between sessions without warning you. It's really easy to run your commands with cached accounts and end up executing your scripts against the wrong environment. In less serious cases, this means that you'll end up running commandlets twice against the test environment, while you think you're running them first against the test, and then production.

  Fixing "-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException" when accessing SharePoint SOAP Web Services

  This article explains how to fix error 2147024891 (or sometimes -2147024891), "System.UnauthorizedAccessException" when accessing functionality in SharePoint that's built on top of SOAP Web Services. In a sense, we're delving into some legacy stuff - Microsoft has still kept SOAP-based SharePoint Web Services included in the product, since a lot of functionality has been built on top of them.

  "500 Internal Server Error" after updating a WordPress site to PHP 7.3

  Now for something totally different - for a change, I got to fix an issue with my own blog, so I had the chance to delve into PHP and WordPress configurations... :) PHP is an ever-evolving language - even if it might not always feel that way. The old workhorse has been powering most of the internet for a couple of decades, and weirdly enough, doesn't really show signs of going anywhere.

  Azure Functions failing on "OPTIONS" call? Quick fix!

  I recently ran into an issue when developing Azure Functions locally. My SPFx webpart was configured to request information from my locally running Azure Function but suddenly started ending up in error. Browser only showed 404 for the first request (OPTIONS) the SPFx webpart was sending - although I knew the function was up and running! So what to do?
