TeamCity 1.2 EAP - SourceSafe Settings - File does not exist

Hello Marcello,

Option 'Path to VSS configuration file (srcsafe.ini):' is expecting
a full path to the VSS config file with file name itself to the SourceSafe
configuration file.
It should work if you map a local drive or if you use a network share.
(Could you please try writing '
VCONTROL\DATA\VSS\srcsafe.ini' there)

Thank you!

Hello,

we're testing the current EAP version of TeamCity 1.2. In the
sourcesafe settings dialog you can specify the path to the vss
configuration. Sourcesafe is installed on a different server, the ini
file is located at
VCONTROL\DATA\VSS\srcsafe.ini

We tried to enter
VCONTROL\DATA\VSS\ as the VSS config path but
testing the connection failed ("File does not exist"); mapping the
network path to a local drive letter (e.g.: T: and setting T:\ as the
VSS config path didn't work either (same problem). When copying the
srcsafe.ini file to a local directory on the TeamCity server (for
testing purposes only) the path was accepted without any problems.

Does the source safe connection only work if the srcsafe.ini is on the
local harddrive of the server where teamcity is installed or am I
missing something?

Regards,

Marcello

Hi,

I've tried the "
VCONTROL\DATA\VSS\srcsafe.ini" as well as mapping
"'
VCONTROL\DATA\VSS" to T: and entering "T:\srcsafe.ini". It didn't
work in both cases.

Specifying C:\temp\srcsafe.ini worked.

Hello Marcello,

TeamCity tryes to communicate with VSS Share/Folder as the user, running
the server.
Could you please check if there are enough rights for that user to work
with vss.
If you are using windows service for server, please, check the settings
in the
'services' windows applet. Thank you!

Hello,

now it works. you were right, the settings of the service in the
"administrative tools" panel caused the problem. Running the windows
service with an appropriate account instead of using a local system
account solved the connection issue.

thanks a lot for your help!
