414: Request-URI Too Large.

[mcantillon]

Hi All,

I am trying to get Vault 4.1.1.18060 working with CruiseControl.NET 1.4.4.83 and am facing some issues. CruiseControl is reporting "Source control operation failed: . Process command" so after some reading on this forum I tried taking the Vault command and running it in a command prompt.
That gave me my first workable error which was a Proxy issue, again after reading on the forum I made some changes to the command line and tried again.
I am now getting the following:

Code: Select all

<vault>
  <!--An exception was encountered during the get latest operation.  Exception:
The Vault server could not be contacted to perform the operation.  Your network
connection to the server may have been interrupted.  Please verify your network
settings using the Options dialog under the Tools menu in the Vault GUI Client.T
he request failed with HTTP status 414: Request-URI Too Large.-->

I have search the forum and google and have not found anything for "414: Request-URI Too Large"

Can anyone help or give me some pointers?

Thanks for you time.

I did a search on HTTP statuses:

414 - Request-URI Too Long
The 414 status code indicates the the URL requested by the client was longer than it can process.

Do you have a long URL in your command? Is there a way to shorten it?

Hi Linda,

Thanks for you reply.

The command I am running is:

vault.exe getversion 3747 $/Projects/MyProject C:\Builds\Working -useworkingfolder -merge overwrite -makewritable -backup no -setfiletime checkin -host sourcegear.mydomain.co.uk -user ccnet -password password -repository "My - Codebase" -proxyserver myproxy -proxyport 8888

There aren't any long URL's in it. This there a way of getting more information from Vault like the URL that failed?

I get this error via the GUI Client also.

Thanks,

Matt.

I get this error via the GUI Client also.

I don't think we've seen this error before. At what point do you get the error when using the GUI Client?
Are you trying to do a Get Latest with the GUI Client, too?

Is this a large get? Can you get a subfolder or smaller subset of files?

Did this work properly before?

Hi,

I get the following output in the GUI messages tab after selecting Get Latest from the root of my project.

[02/08/2010 08:43:33] Getting latest version of $/Projects/Brunel
[02/08/2010 08:43:56] Finished get latest of $/Projects/Brunel
[02/08/2010 08:43:56] An exception was encountered during the get latest operation. Exception: The Vault server could not be contacted to perform the operation. Your network connection to the server may have been interrupted. Please verify your network settings using the Options dialog under the Tools menu in the Vault GUI Client.The request failed with HTTP status 414: Request-URI Too Large.

I can do a Get Latest on subfolders in the same project fine. Other members of the team don't have this issue and are able to Get Latest from the root.

The Stats on the project in Vault are:

45 Files
10 Subfolders (with many subfolders and lots of files)
Tree size 1.11GB
Disk space needed 2.21GB

Are there any logs or more information that might help you. I really need to get a solution to this in place so that our build server is back up and running again.

Thanks for your time.

Did this work properly before?

If so, has something changed on the machine?

Is the problem specific to the machine logged in user? If you login as a different user on your machine do you get the same result?

There may be helpful information in the logs:

First, enable debug server logging in the Admin Web Client under Server Settings->Logging->Log Level.

Then enable logging for all events in the user's GUI Client. Open the Vault GUI Client and hold down the following keys on your keyboard: Control-Alt Shift F12.

Reproduce the problem, then send me copies of the logs. Let me know what username was experiencing the error and what time the error occurred so I know where to look for in the logs.

Also, any relevant errors in the event viewer?
