VSS 2K5 - HTTP SSL service must be bounced constantly
goo...@easiesttoremember.com
I've got VSS 2005 installed on my server successfully and have even
successfully gotten Visual Studio 2005 working with it using HTTPS
(after many many many many hours of trial and error).
There's still one lingering problem though: Frequently, when I try to
check out a file from within Visual Studio 2005, I get an 80005 error.
I can fix it every time it happens (about 2 or 3 times a day), but it's
combersome:
I have to remote control my server and bounce the HTTP SSL service.
What's strange is other sites on my server that use SSL work just fine,
wether or not I bounch the HTTP SSL service. It's just accessing my
Visual SourceSafe 2005 database from Visual Studio 2005 HTTPS access
that has a recurring problem.
I've seen some authorities on the subject saying that if you have
SharePoint installed on the same web site that it can cause problems
with HTTPS access to VSS. I don't have SharePoint installed on the
same website that I have my VSS database on, but I *DO* have SharePoint
on *OTHER* websites on the same server. So, is THAT the problem? and
if so, what can I do about it without losing either SharePoint nor VSS.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Currently, I'm forced to
keep a paid subscription to gotomypc.com in order to remote control my
server to bounce the HTTP SSL service because I'm behind a firewall
that allows ONLY HTTP traffic through.
Additionally, if anyone knows of any good remote control software that
works totally via HTTPS traffic on ports 443 or 80, that would be a big
help too. VNC does NOT, Remote Desktop (part of Windows) does NOT...
and half a dozen other products I've tried do not either.
But most importantly, how do I prevent the problem of having to restart
the HTTP SSL service?
TIA
