server failure

[ron666_0]

when i tried to connect using admin tool to vault (2.6.0) it's said:

the server returned an unknow status code ({0})

[jclausius]

On the Vault server itself, try to browse to http://localhost/vaultservice/vaultservice.asmx.

What does the browser show at that point?

http://localhost:85/vaultservice page work properly. i forgot to say - vault failed after removing DNS role from this server.

[jclausius]

Can you still try the link w/ the .asmx page - http://localhost:85/vaultservice/vaultservice.asmx

I'm trying to see if the .Net Framework is processing the Web request correctly on the server. You should get a Vault service description page.


A couple of other things to check:

1) Try to log on w/ the Vault GUI client on the server. The client has more refined reporting capabilities than the admin tool. Use localhost:85 as the server's address

2) Check the Vault server's error log - by default, this is stored in your %windir%\temp\sgvault directory. Is there any kind of error recorded there?

3) A DNS server shouldn't have too much of an impact. Removing the DNS server may require you to reconfigure the TCP/IP settings on the server for a new DNS server, but other than that, there shouldn't be an impact on the Vault server.

Since we're talking DNS, make sure your server names contains normal DNS characters ( characters, numerals, dashes ). Having illegal DNS characters such as underscore '_' will cause problems for the .Net framework.

Have you tried the link yet http://localhost:85/vaultservice/vaultservice.asmx?

Did you also try the GUI client, as I mentioned in #1 above? Any errors there?

When you browsed to the link, what did you see on the page? Can you post a sample of the text?

The message - the server returned an unknow status code ({0}) - is an Admin Tool error message. What message do you see when trying to connect using the Vault GUI client?

[ron_777_0]

Vault client displays this error but every time dll's name different from old session:

server was unable to process request -> file or assembly name mrgtc7yq.dll, or one of its depend., was not found

i tried to re-install vault client too - no result.

[jclausius]

Are you running the Vault GUI client on the same machine as the server? If not, give that a try?

Also, can you post a sample of the text from the Service Description page?

we can't work properly over 3 days - i can get exact explain of this error? as i said - web server on request work properly, but admin & client tools can't login.

P.S. i tried re-install .NET framework -> lost time and no effects

[jclausius]

I'll be honest, I'm at a loss here. Is there anything perhaps in the Server's log ( by default %windir%\temp\sgvault ), which might suggest a problem?

If nothing is there, anything in the Event viewer (application or system) on the machine hosting the Vault Server?
