HELP: Cannot connect anymore to server

Xavier · Post by **Xavier** » Fri May 25, 2007 3:04 am

Hello,

I've installed yesterday Visual Studio 2005 to fix the show diff on pinned file issue. We're now unable to connect to the server !
You will find below the log.
I can connect with Source safe admin, source safe explorer locally on the computer where the sourcegear server is installed. But I cannot remotely.

I've resintalled the VSS2005, Sourcegear 4.2 server locally (on Windows XP); and remotely reinstalled the SourceGear 4.2 client on windows.

Please help...

The error is "invalid handle" as you can see below at the end of the log file.

Some details:
it runs on Windows XP with service pack 2 and patches
it worked with Visual Source Safe 6 sp6 (with the showdiff issue only)
it worked with VSS2005 until a reboot
it works with source 6.0 both remotely and locally
a base check has been done
the v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322 and v2.0.50727 .Net framework are installed

There is a chance that the automation component you have could be an issue. First, can you provide me the complete version numbers for your automation component? Details on how to do that can be found here: Automation Component Version. It's important to make sure you are going to the one listed in the registry. Some users have multiple automation components on their server.

The file is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssapi.dll

File Version is 8.0.50727.42
In the item name:
8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)

Sorry for the delay I was flying back.

I believe the version of the ssapi.dll that you have is for VSS 2005. Can you go back to the registry where that path was listed and look for the threading model and set that to 'both'. If it's already set to that, just let me know.

Thanks.It works.

May be you should add that to your log file it fails all the time with apartment.

Thanks again. It was a real trouble for us.
