Office Web Applications 2013 - Unhealthy farm; Excel Calculation Services failed to convert the foll

[News Bot]

Hello!

I have a fresh deployment of Office Web Applications 2013.

I ran New-OfficeWebFarm with following arguments:

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm-InternalURLhttps://the.internal.url-ExternalURLhttps://the.public.url-AllowCEIP:$false-AllowHttp:$false-CacheLocation"D:Cache"-CacheSizeInGB30-CertificateName""-ClipartEnabled:$true-EditingEnabled:$true-LogLocation"D:Logs"-LogVerbosity"Unexpected"-MaxMemoryCacheSizeInMB8192-OpenFromUncEnabled:$true-OpenFromUrlEnabled:$true-Proxyhttp://the.proxy.url-RenderingLocalCacheLocation"D:Rendering

Cache"-SSLOffloaded:$false-TranslationEnabled:$true

It ran OK, I can see the discovery XML.

Ever since then, an warning and several errors are logged in the event viewer:

Excel Web App, warning, ID 7914:

Excel Calculation Services failed to convert the following file: http://internal/ecsxlstest.xls

Office Web Apps Monitoring, error, ID 1043:

and Office Web App Monitoring, error, ID 2043:

 

 ExcelServicesEcsWatchdog reported status for ExcelServicesEcs in category 'EntireService'. Reported status: ECS watchdog test failed. Got CommunicationException System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.ExcelServerMessage]: We couldn't open this workbook in the browser. (Fault Detail is equal to Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.ExcelServerMessage).

I connected Office Web Apps with Sharepoint 2013, the conenction is OK, the zones match, the integration is alive, but I can't open any document in the web apps.

I made a repair, reconfigured the office wep apps farm, and now it have following configuration:

 

PS C:Windowssystem32> Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm

The error remains. I tested manually to open the ecsxlstest.xls file, and it doesn't open indeed. Any xlsx file opens OK, but any xls file - does not.

The machine is reported "unhealthy", I guess, because of the error:

PS C:Windowssystem32> Get-OfficeWebAppsMachine

MasterMachineName                              MachineName                                   Roles                                                                          HealthStatus
-----------------                              -----------                                   -----                                                                          ------------
THESERVER                                         THESERVER                                        {All}                                                                             Unhealthy

 

What can I do, to make the farm "healthy"? And what I need to do, to be able to open Excel 2003 files in web apps?
