Hello,
I am trying to configure a project to use VSS. I have had a good deal
of experience using CCNET with SVN, but this is my first go at using
SourceSafe.
I am running Visual SourceSafe 8.0.50727.42 on Server 2003 and can
connect using Visual SourceSafe Explorer through a VPN to a VSS
database (that's in another state) which also running the same
version. I can also connect through the VS 2008 IDE. I do not manage
the VSS database and when I was given read access I was not given a
password.
So, I can connect and do a successful, albeit extremely slow, get
through the VSS and VS 2008 GUI's.
The problem starts when I try to have CCNET connect. I am running
CCSERVICE as a logged in user (not LSA). The error that I keep seeing
is that 'srcsafe.ini' cannot be found. I have tried the <ssdir>
element with and without quotes, and I have also created an
environment variable named 'SSDIR' and set its value 'R:\dotnet2'.
From the error message, it appears that the value I have created for
SSDIR is not being passed to SS.EXE.
Is this a VPN issue? Is it related to not having a password?
Thank you,
Zach
