New, checked-in files are not showing on website

jmb · Post by **jmb** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 2:26 pm

I am using Vault to manage code for a web application (ASP.Net).

When I check out a file, make changes, and then check the file back in the updated file does not show up when I view the website, or in the folder where the code is located.

But if I right click on the remote file in Vault, click 'View', I can see the updated code.

Any thoughts? The check-in seems to work, it just doesn't show up on the live website.

When you checkin a file to Vault, it is stored in the SQL Server database. The View command shows you a copy of that file from the database.

If you want the checkin to update a folder somewhere on the LAN, you would use the Shadow Folder feature. A Shadow folder is folder on disk that holds the latest version of files from folder in the Vault database.

For details, see Vault Admin Help->Admin Tool->Repository Options->Shadow Folders.

Thanks for the reply. I did configure the shadow folders, but the changes are still not appearing.

I am using Win 2003, so I also changed the WWW Service to run in IIS 5.0 Mode as noted on the knowledge base. But that didn't help either.

Im not sure what to do next.

What version of Vault are you using?

Is your Shadow Folder on the same machine or a different machine?

Also,

I recently changed the IP address of our server.

Could that effect the shadow folder updates? If so, where do I need to go to change this?

I updated the IP in the 'Vault Server' section of the login dialog box, do I need to change it anywhere else?

Version 3.1.2

Shadow folder and database are on the same machine.

RE: IP Address change
I reviewed the web.config file in the VaultService website. Nothing seemed to reference our old IP, just 'localhost'.

The Shadow Folder service has a log: VaultShadowfolderService.txt in the Vault server machine's %windir%\temp directory. Are there any errors logged? You can post the log or email it to linda at SourceGear.com.

Linda,

I have emailed you the VaultShadowfolderService.txt.

Thanks.
