SS 2005 Get and Get latest error

• helious

  I have figured out the problem. The VSS database used to have all of the files and folders in the root $/ folder of the database. I moved all of the files into a project that is a subfolder of the root. Then when I bound my VS Project to that new vss project location we no longer get the strange error when getting the latest version using the https plugin.

  I tried many different things and am very certain that this must be a bug with visual source safe 2005.

  Thanks,

  Kevin

  one of my fellow developers is not using the mapped drive and he is still getting the same error

  I am using internet plugin of source safe, not the lan plugin.

  Kevin,

  I can’t reproduce this behavior. How did you make your project files been in the root of the database

  I think the problem here is in this mapped drive. When making connection to the remote database with VSS Internet plug-in you need to specify address of your web server (the way you connect to it without been connected to VPN) and the folder in UNC format. Here is the important part. The folder is used by the web service running on the Web server so it should be the folder relative to the web server itself.

  If you are using Local VSS plug-in while connected via VPN then it should be no different from using this database locally. If this is when you are getting error then make sure you do have Read/write access to the database location you are using (Use Change Source Control dialog to check location of the currently used database). As long as you can copy files to/from the database location it should work.

  Could you provide more details of your problem so I can better analyze it

  From what I understand everything (including https access) is working while connected through VPN but once you disconnected it stops working. Is this what you are experiencing

  No, i get it working even after being diconnected from VPN. The only problem is when i issue get or get latest command. It always give error ,whether or not i m connected to vpn.

  Can you connect to https://yourserver/SourceSafe/vssservice.asmx while using VPN and then after you disconnected from VPN Do you get the same result

  I can connect to it while beign connected to vpn , but for the other case, i have to try.

  Could you try re-register this database using VSS Internet plug-in (File->Open Project->SourceSafe Internet->Add SourceSafe Database) while you are Not connected with VPN

  Let me try that as well.

  Does it work with LAN access plug-in

  Does your database on the server have VssWebUpload and VssWebDownload folders

  Do you have Read/Write access to these folders

  Do you have following records in srcsafe.ini

  DownloadVDir = VssDownload_db1

  UploadVDir = VssUpload_db1

  Does your Web server has following virtual folders that are pointing to these folders (VssWebUpload and VssWebDownload): Default Web Site->SourceSafe->VssUpload_db1 and VssDownload_db1

  Have you tried restarting VS after you disconnected from VPN and reopening the project What error do you get in this case

  Can you connect to https://yourserver/SourceSafe/vssservice.asmx while using VPN and then after you disconnected from VPN Do you get the same result

  Could you try re-register this database using VSS Internet plug-in (File->Open Project->SourceSafe Internet->Add SourceSafe Database) while you are Not connected with VPN
