July CTP of Team Foundation server error...

I Lost my previous posting....

Basically, I installed the develpoer edition and got that working.
I'm now failing at about 4/5 of the installing with a "ecountered server error" problem. There is no retry option. When I click ok, I'm returned to the team services page that says "Installation successfull".

It does appear in the add/remove applications and I can see the new web-site it sets up.

In addition, I can connect to it with the team foundation client.

The error that was in the tmp file the crash error sends
  P6=Creation of Windows Shaprepoint Services Admi
  P7=BASERET_UNKNOWN

When I try to create a new project with the team foundation client, it says it failed to connect to the sharepoint services at http: <myserver>

Any ideas

    Where does Developer edition fall in that description

  • richqwerty

    Yes - a very good idea :)

    We aware of this and talking about our options right now.  One of the features we depend on (metadata translations) depends on the enterprise version of sql.  It allows us to abstract the physcial column names.

    We are addressing this but likely post beta3.  Our options are to (1) if you're on standard, you see the refnames in the reports (system.title) and if you're on enterprise, you get a better experience (2) use friendly names in the reports - not seemless throughout and causes churn when field names are changed or (3) convince sql to put this feature in standard.

    Like to hear your thoughts ...

    For now, the short answer is use sql enterprise.

    thx

    Ok, so having figured out I needed to install the Developer edition of Sql June CTP, I did so.  I got by the above error! Yippee, only to hit the next one.

    This had error was caused by the install of reporting services having a default "SecureConnection" value = 2, which requires HTTPS. When installing the TEam foundation application services, it fails because it can't connect to the reporting services via HTTPS.

    To resolve, this, I set the value = 0, and re-did the entire install...and got by that error! Yippee!

    Now, I've hit a totally new one. The team install gets about 4/5 of the way through, then all of a sudden throws up "encountered Server error" report (No options to retry,etc). All I can do is then click "Ok". At this point, the team foundation server says "Service installed successfully".

    I looked into the tmp file that the error report was sending to MS, and it had this error listed.

      P6=Creation of Windows Shaprepoint Services Admi
      P7=BASERET_UNKNOWN

    I followed the instructions on installing sharepoint services 2.0 Sp1, got the config page at the end of the installation and closed it. I also got all the latest windows updates, etc..

    For the heck of it, I installed the team foundation client on the same machine, and could in fact connect to the team foundation server. (it appears in the add/remove programs).

    I then attempted to create a new project ...it gets about 1/2 through then throws an error about unable to create sharepoint site...and bombs out.

    So, clearly there is something with sharepoint services here.
    Any ideas now on resolving this error, so I can move onto the next one
