Background:
I have several builds running on a Windows Server 2003 R2 machine via TFS2010. All of these build definitions have the Path to Publish Symbols set to "\\server\SymbolStore" and the builds run fine.
(Note - I have inherited this set up from a former employee, and I also have other builds running on a separate 2K8 machine that also run without issue)
I am now migrating these builds to a new Windows 2008 R2 build server using the same settings.
Problem:
When running the builds on the new build machine, everything is working fine until the build tries to run the "Publish Symbols" activity in the workflow, at which point I get the error
SYMSTORE ERROR: Class: Server. Desc: Couldn't connect to server.
Error 5: Access is denied. TF270015: 'symstore.exe' returned an
unexpected exit code. Expected '0'; actual '5'.
which also sets the build status to Partially Succeeded.
I have searched the web for these error messages to no avail so far, so does anyone know what might be causing this and how to get it working again?
As always, thanks in advance
Did you check the folder has the right permissions for the service account that is used by Team Build to create/write files ?
Turns out that after I had set up the new build machine, I had left the Credentials for the Build Service Properties (found in the Team Foundation Server Administration Console/Build Configuration) to its default setting which is "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService". Once I had changed this to use the build service account, the builds are able to write to the symbol store properly

In TFS, i'm doing build for my .Net project. I've got agent configured locally and build is carried using that. Error says as follows
Cannot listen on pipe name 'net.pipe://localhost/taskagent/6/xxxxxx' because another pipe endpoint is already listening on that name.
Not sure, what this exactly is....Please help. Attached the error screenshot for reference.
Note: I'm not using any TDD/test process in code
According to the error info not sure if it's related to TFS side. Suggest you also manually run the build directly on the build agent.
Since the agent is newly configured, to narrow down if the error is related to your environment on the build server machine. You could also create a new build definition with a simple project such as hello world and check if got the same error. If so, suggest you delete the agent, reconfigure it follow this tutorial: Deploy an agent on Windows
Besides, you could also set system.debug=true to enable verbose debug for build to get more detail error info, please refer: Enable Verbose Debug Mode for TFS Build vNext
I have a TFS 2013 build that I'm trying to get to publish to a folder on the build server. I've installed WebDeploy, but I always get the error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets (4274): Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("localhost"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE.)
I've set up a website on the build server and that's where I'm trying to publish the website. Actually I don't even care about publishing it per se - I just need my build output to go to a folder locally automatically. Right now we have to manually open the solution and choose Publish... to get the output that subsequent InstallShield builds need for input. Here are my MSBuild arguments. Does anyone have any idea what could be missing?
/p:SrcDir=C:\Builds\TFS\WebApps\Src
/p:RevKeyname=WebAppsRevNr
/p:DeployOnBuild=true
/p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish
/p:MSDeployServiceURL=https://127.0.0.1:8172/msdeploy.axd
/p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True
/p:DeployIisAppPath="WebApp"
/p:MsDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC
/p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True
/p:AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings=False
/p:Authtype=NTLM /p:username=""
I've checked both net start wmsvc and net start msdepsvc and both are running. Any ideas?
Thanks!
UPDATE
I've tried everything that Andy suggested and now when I run this from the command line I get this bizarre error message:
"C:\Workspace\VS2013\WebApps\Main\Src\webapps.sln" (default target) (1) ->

Any idea why it's looking for Web.config;Areas\Admin\Views\Web.config'.? That makes no sense.
Please try below items to narrow down the issue:
Try to use IP or Machine Name instead of "localhost"
Logon your build agent machine, then manually execute the same
MSBuild command within the same arguments(which you provided in build
definition) to build and deploy your solution, then check result. You
need to ensure you can manually run the same MSBuild command within
deploy argument to build and deploy your solution successfully from
build agent machine. Then use the same deploy arguments in TFS Build
definition.
Double check Web Deploy settings to make sure that the name of the
website is exactly that of what's in IIS.
Install Web Management Tools before Web
Deploy : Install the Web Management Services (Roles -> Web Server >
Management Tools > Management Services). Then uninstall Web Deploy, and then install Web Deploy again.

enter image description hereThe Path Error I have Got
Getting Path error when running C# Code through TFS , Not able to find CSV path from which we are picking data for Execution
Note: Deploying & Running Code through Virtual Machine
First, please try to build your code manually on the Virtual Machine to see if it works.
Second, double check if the path and the file exists on your virtual machine.
Third, ensure that the "Project Collection Build Service Accounts" group and "Project Build Service (TEAM FOUNDATION)" user have appropriate version control rights, such as Read and Label. Make sure that Inheritance is set to On. Usually the get path error may related to a permission issue.
Am using Windows Server machine 2012 R2 machine to take a setup (exe) and using Wix v3.10.
When i run the burn executable taken from Windows Server 2012 R2 machine in any machine, setup crashed with the error as "System.IO.DirectoryNotFound" not found.
On further investigating this, this exception was occurred during the retrieval of burn and bootstrapper related files(.ba folders from temp location) using WixBundleProviderkey. Because, the .ba folder was existing in some other (some Guild(folder name)} name instead of the required directory in temp location. This issue is occurred only when the setup taken from Windows Server 2012 R2 machine and this is not occurred in some other windows machine if we took setup from it.
Actual path in which .ba folders exists: C:\Users\server\AppData\Local\Temp\2{32DB2298-79D9-4816-9BD6-ABA4271CCA2F}
Application Searching path of .ba folder : C:\Users\server\AppData\Local\Temp\2{36823a7e-b6d2-4db1-b0d1-212cdf7bd669}\
Could anyone please let us know why this issue occurring in Windows server machine?
What is the main function of WixBundleProviderkey?
Below is my code where am facing issue while launching the setup
string baFolder = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() + SyncBA.Model.Bootstrapper.Engine.StringVariables["WixBundleProviderKey"] + "\";
This is due to the security mitigations added in v3.10.3. That temp folder is no longer created using the bundle's id, it's a random guid. You should get the location of your BA in a different way, such as AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.
Hello worklight team and devs!
We are done working on our development project and everything works fine in the local dev server (Tomcat).
Now we are trying to build the project to be deployed to a testing WAS ND 8.0.3 server.
We've been following the manual in the infocenter and modified each required file as needed (worklight.properties and application-descriptor.xml)
We made this changes to the worklight.properties file:
publicWorkLightHostname=working.hostname.com
# http or https
publicWorkLightProtocol=http
# For default port leave empty
publicWorkLightPort=ourport
publicWorkLightContext=/worklight
wl.db.jndi.name=jdbc/WorklightDS
wl.db.type=DB2
wl.db.url=jdbc:db2:Worklight
wl.db.username=wluser
wl.db.password=passwd
We tested the jdbc source in the WAS console and it works perfectly.
We proceed to build the war, adapter and wlapp (ALL) and we get this error:
[2013-05-21 12:48:44] FWLSE4001W: Failed to resolve JNDI name: "jdbc/WorklightDS".
Application may fail to access the database in runtime. If building for remote server - ignore this warning.
[2013-05-21 12:48:44] FWLST0011E: ====== Worklight Project BPMWorklight-project-customization failed to start: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial
[2013-05-21 12:48:44] Activation failed. Bundle didn't start:C:pathto\BPMWorklight-customization.jar
This happens in the developer workstation and if we install Studio in the server, where the jdbc source is created, the same happens.
I guess that Worklight is trying to "obtain" a JDBC source in TOMCAT not WAS, but we are building for WAS, so the build fails and NO files are changed after the error. NO BUILD is executed.
We also tried to execute the build.xml with ANT in studio but we get this error:
Buildfile: C:\Users\Primary User\IBM\Worklight\LIS_SampleCollection\BPMWorklight\build.xml
BUILD FAILED
C:\Pathtofile\BPMWorklight\build.xml:3: Cannot find ../../common.xml imported from
C:\Pathtofile\BPMWorklight\build.xml
Total time: 62 milliseconds
You're help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!!
Best,
Nicolas E.
If all you require is to deploy the updated-for-WAS .war file in WebSphere, you don't need to do any build operation in Worklight. After updating any file under the server\ folder in Worklight Studio (the Eclipse plug-in), the .war file is automatically being re-created.
The build operation is mainly for creating the binaries and deploying to Worklight Server (database) (again, when using the Eclipse plug-in).
So what I suggest is to:
First update application-descriptor.xml with your context root value in worklightServerRootURL, and keep your .wlapps on the side
Update worklight.properties and save them.
Now you have your app ready to deploy and the .war file ready to deploy.
Move to WAS, deploy the .war file
Hopefully things will work now, so you can load Worklight Console and deploy the .wlapp and .adapter files.
I don't know what you've read in the IBM Information Center, but you can also try going over the following training module from IBM Worklight Getting Started.
Moving from development environment to stand-alone QA and production servers
Notes:
The above is not so convenient, but it is A way to move from your
development environment to another staging environment, or
application server...
The issue might also happen even after following my steps above, and this will indicate that the real issue is in your DB2 declaration in worklight.properties.
I will update this answer tomorrow with some insight regarding the possible DB2 declaration issue.
