SharePoint 2010 Central admin - create new web application screen throws 404 error

We faced this issue today after completing SharePoint 2010 installation on windows 7 machine.

After debugging we found that we were facing this because of Office 2013 installation on system.

So after uninstalling office 2013 the screens started working. :)

SharePoint 2010 central admin showing blank page

One of my team mate faced this issue few days back, After installing SharePoint 2010 when he tried to open central admin he got blank page.

We checked for all app pools and services but everything were fine, But after some googling we found solution that:

He forgotten to tick the Windows Authentication box when installing the IIS7 features. So:

Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off >Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Security >tick ‘Windows Authentication’

After doing this our central admin was working as expected

Event Receivers vs Workflows SharePoint 2010

Event Receivers	Workflows
Can execute either before or after the operation	Always executes after the operation
Can cancel the operation	Cannot cancel the operation as the item will have already been created
Cannot be launched manually by the user	Can be started manually by the user
Not designed for user interaction	Specifically designed for user interaction
Can execute in response to many different actions, including deletes	Can only execute in response to one of four events – Manual, an item being created, an item being edited, and an item being submitted for approval
Must be created in Visual Studio	Can be created with Visual Studio, Visio or SharePoint Designer

Workflows are mostly used for business process implementation and Event receivers are mostly used for one time activity based on trigger.

What is difference between Event Handler and Event receiver in SharePoint (Event Handler vs Event Receiver in SharePoint)

The below image answers the questions :

According to lot of articles on internet Event handler and Event Receiver are same. In SP2003 it was called as event handler and SP2010 it is called as Event Receiver.

But as per my understanding individual overridden method are called Event Handler and whole class is called Event receiver.

Comment out your thoughts on this.
