Code blocks are not allowed in this file

One of my user has opened a ticket with my team by mentioning “He is not able to browse his SharePoint Team Site and getting the below mentioned error message.

Problem Description: Not able to browse the SharePoint site

Error Message: An error occurred during the processing of /site/My Documents/Forms/Alldocuments.aspx. Code blocks are not allowed in this file.
Here is my analysis regarding the same:
    1) Check the site settings page is opening or not.
   How to check that? - Site URL/_layouts/settings.aspx
   2) If you are using any specialized master page in your environment then make sure it is properly selected under the master page galleries
How to check that? – Site actions-site settings-Under look and feel-master page galleries
   3) Check the default.aspx page is existing or not
How to check that?

-Open your site, it’s quite obvious that you will get error message
-Be on that same page
-Control + O (from your keyboard)
-This will open the shared view of your site
-if you see the default.aspx page their then go ahead and take the backup of that page in the same location
-It wills create-default1.aspx—this is fine and we are on right track
-In this same shared location, you can see the created subsites i.e. the child sites which are created underneath
-Go to any of the subsite by means of shared drive and copy the default.aspx and paste it at the root location
-Try t browse the site and check the results
-Your site is up and running without any issuesJ

If you have any queries/questions then please let me know.
I would be more than HAPPY to help you as well as RESOLVES your issues, Thank youJ

  2. Hello,

    -Open your sharepoint site on which you are working
    -Open the home page of the site
    -Make sure that the cursor is in the blank area of the site and not on any task bar
    -by means of your keyboard functions- CTRL O and it will give the option to enter the site URL as well as please check the box adjacent to it.
    -click ok
    -and it will open the shared view of the site
