Problem with VSS Web Access on the Server 2003

Hi All,

I am trying to setup VSS web access using Http on my server.

i"m using Windows 2003 server standard edition and VSS version 8.0.50727.42


In VSS Admin tool i enabled SourceSafe Internet for my computer (http) and SourceSafe Internet for my database.

in IIS manager i can see SourceSafe virtual folder and upload/download subfolders,
the database is shared and have all permission for the user I use (administrator)




I am able to access the vss web services from internet in internet explorer (after login dialog i can see "Server Error in /SourceSafe application" page),






when i try to access VSS DB  from Internet with VS 2005 i get error


"Cannot contact the Visual SourceSafe Internet Web Service or cannot access the specified database.
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {783CD4E4-9D54-11CF-B8EE-00608CC9A71F} failed due
to the following error 80070005"




Please give me suggestion to get it working.

Thanks,


Wojtek

    CLSID {783CD4E4-9D54-11CF-B8EE-00608CC9A71F} points to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssapi.dll

    Error 80070005 stands for access denied. Do you have impersonation on (in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\VSSWebService\web.config) and Anonymous access off in IIS properties for SourceSafe virtual folder

    Is the user you are login into the web server has access to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssapi.dll (Look on security tab of the properties page for this file on the server)

    gicio,

    You need to remove following line from web.config to actually see the web service manifest

    <remove name="Documentation"/>

    We added this line for security reasons, so that we do not show any debug info unless the server is specifically configured to do so.

    Try re-registering C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssapi.dll using regsvr32.exe

    Run on the server and the client regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssapi.dll

    Thank You Roman,

    I added for "Network services" read&execute rights to     C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssapi.dll

    Web Access to VSS work ok now.  :)

    Hi to all!

    I just tested it with wojtek. We got this exception in the internet exploren when we call the web service and change the atribute to:

    <customErrors mode="Off"/>

    Server Error in '/SourceSafe' Application.
