Uploading files seems to be working fine.
Wiki will show me a preview of files like pdf, image files etc but not of Microsoft related files like doc(x) and xls(x).
Before upgrading (from 2.2.2) this worked fine.
It looks like this (it stays this way endlessly)
I hope somebody can point me in the right direction to fix this.
Thanks!
Pepijn.
Still struggling wit this.
Here some log data:

This goes beyond my level of knowledge. What's going on?
Can't help you directly, but just to let you know I'm having the same problem - but with Pages documents. So I guess it is not MS Office per-se, but the bit of server creating the quick-look that is in trouble.
No idea what to do to fix it though 😟
Thanks for your reply!
I tested it with .pages documents and encountered the same issue as with Microsoft documents. I just had contact with the server helpdesk. I send them an EDC server rapport. Now we have to wait for feedback.
P.
Bril. Do post news on whatever you hear from Apple.
Talked to support. It is a known issue. Mavericks server 3 broke (complex) document previews in Wiki.
It seems not many people noticed yet. Support needs feedback to increase the customer impact number so they can put it on the agenda for a fix. Please call support or send feedback to www.apple.com/feedback!
The more people do this the sooner the issue will be fixed.
Thanks.
Thanks - helpful.
I've already logged a bit of feedback on this - not encouraging though, as the OS X Server feedback page only goes up to Server 10.6 in drop down for 'what OS are you using'. Suggests that the Server team are not paying it a lot of attention.
At least in the UK, the Apple Server team (at least the ones you get to via an Apple Care call) are totally unhelpful in my experience... 😟
Server appears to be a software offering from Apple that is doing well to survive rather than develop.
Does anyone have an update on this?
If they haven't fixed this yet, could anyone direct me in the right way to disable the doc and docx preview? I went to the quicklook confing, deleted the doc and docx preview code, restarted the wiki, but I'm still getting the same page as pepmachine had..
Thoughts?
I've not seen or heard of any movement on this issue. It is not fixed in Server 3.0.1 and I've not seen any working 'work arounds'. My best guess is that we'll have to wait for some update to Server. It is at times like this that Apples policy of saying nothing about what they plan to do is irksome: it seems that there is nothing at all that can be done about this right now until Apple do something to fix.
I am experiencing the same. So I state here *push* to Apple
I would note that their recent update did not fix this issue. It is very troubling to my user base. I made the request to www.apple.com/feedback in November. Please do likewise.
I'm having the same problem as discussed here and have filed a bug report at apple.com/feedback hoping to see this resolved in the near future.
I would like to specify that Wiki is still showing previews of documents uploaded prior to upgrading from Server 2 till Server 3. It's only documents uploaded after the upgrade that doesn't get the preview generated. A bigger problem still is that documents uploaded now doesn't get parsed and indexed. Before the upgrade using the search field in Wiki would show results for matches in .doc document's text/body. That doesn't happen anymore.
pepmachine, any luck having the problem fixed? I still struggle with the issue..
I'm affraid not. Maybe 10.9.3 will fix it.
Cannot load preview for Microsoft documents in wiki
