I ran in to this error the other day. The reasons to why it started happening I don’t know.

Symptoms

You cannot open documents via the Office WebAccess (OWA). The documents are fine and downloading them and the opening them works just fine. If there is no other errors and you are not trying to open documents, while loggin in as a system account, assume that the OWA install works fine. You are most likely experiencing problems with workflows as well. If you try and publish workflows in SharePoint 2013 you might get errors like:

“Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : 10fb8c9c-74dd-e058-687d-57f284abd171. —> System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. —> System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/SecurityTokenServiceApplication/appsts.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.”

This is what I found in my logfile:

WOPIFrame - Unhandled exception: System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listeningThere was no endpoint listeningat net.pipe://localhost/SecurityTokenServiceApplication/appsts.svc that could accept the message.

Solution

Start Windows Services -> Net.Pipe Listener Adapter service and make sure it is set on automatic start. Do this for all servers in the farm and you should get it to open documents again.
