For the database, that should work fine. If you have packages stored on the local filesystem of the server, they'll have to be migrated over and kept in the same structure, otherwise the feed storage paths would have to be updated. If the database PackagesRootPath is configured to a UNC path or mapped drive, then as long as that path is accessible from the new server you should be good to go.

Thanks; we've identified a possible race condition during initialization, specifically involving discovering the connection string of the currently installed instance. We've made a small code change which should resolve this issue - assuming it is the cause. We haven't been able to reproduce it on our systems. The installer for the next version (which should be 3.6.2) will have the fix, so you may want to try using the larger installer again just to see if the issue goes away. You never need the full installer to perform an upgrade, however.

This isn't an answer, but more information as to why the uninstaller might be failing. When I run these manual steps, I see an exception. > C:\BuildMaster\Service\bmservice.exe UninstallWeb C:\BuildMaster\Service\bmservice.exe : Error stopping service: Service INEDOBMWEBSRV was not found on computer '.'. At line:1 char:1 + C:\BuildMaster\Service\bmservice.exe UninstallWeb + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Error stopping ...n computer '.'.:String) [], RemoteException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError Removing INEDOBMWEBSRV service... Unable to remove service: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Service removed. I think maybe the uninstaller doesn't handle this situation and so stops in the middle?

I had the same issue, Resolved by uninstalling sql server 2005 ,restarting the machine and reinstalling buildmaster as admin

The installed express database by default is at localhost\PROGET (i.e. machine_name\instance_name). To switch, simply backup and restore the database into the new instance, and update the connection string in web_appSettings.config under the web installation path, and ProGet.Service.exe.config under the service install path.

Hmm, it's not supposed to require outbound internet access. That should only be necessary to grab a license key, but it should make you enter one if it can't pull one from the internet.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting us know.

Well, hmm, I'm not sure how that would happen... unless there's multiple services running? You edit it directly in the database (Servers table); if it flips back, that means something really strange is happening (such as the two services).

I know it's a little late. I had the same problem today and solved it by installing Microsoft Sysinternals SubInCal (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23510). Set the permissions with: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\)" subinacl.exe /service INEDOBMSVC /grant=domain\user=PTOS

To back-up ProGet, you just need to Back-up the Database and the Packages directory (the path is listed on each feed, and is in the All Settings under Admin).

The exact process is detailed on the page used to switch over, but here are some troubleshooting ideas: ensure both Windows Auth & Forms Auth enabled for the website ensure Anonymous Authentication is disabled ensure there are administrator privileges granted before switching perform an iisreset on the web server if using IIS

Hi Richard, Unfortunately it doesn't look like the exact error is being reported, but it definitely happening when the database schema is being initialized. Based on the error code, it looks like it's happening at the database driver level has something to do with updating the database schema. Perhaps there's an error connecting to the database, or something? Your best bet might be to tryagain, or use try the manual install process for the database.

There's no specific error message, aside from the SQL error that's being thrown. Since you have both on the same server, perhaps it'd be best to have a single SQL Server instance (SQL Express), and have the BuildMaster and ProGet databases hosted in that server.

Thanks for the prompt answer :)

Are you planning on using IIS to host the BuildMaster web application? If so, you're all set. The IntegratedWebServer_ config values are only for hosting BuildMaster with the integrated web server. If you're going that route I can give you those values if you'd like. The "HasLoggedIn" value is only used to do initial setup of the example application and will be created and default to false if not present on the web app first load. The only table touched by the installer that would change its values is the configuration table - everything else database related is generated by the installer using the changescripter tool (bmdbupdate.exe) just as if you ran it manually against the DB.

The BuildMaster software itself requires a Windows Server and SQL Server database. BuildMaster can connect to and orchestrate Unix boxes via SSH-based agents.

I could have sworn I had this set to use asp.net 2. Anyway updated in IIS and seems to be working now. Thanks

what if we try it on a sub website i mean a subdomain? it will work or not?

Hi Joe, Sorry for the poor experience... we do strive for a easy OOB experience, but obviously have only so much control over the underlying platform (IIS). SQL Server is required, but you don't have to install SQL Express; we'll try to clarify the "use your own" option on the installation screen. SQL Express is provided for those who don't have a SQL Server instance to use. We don't have much control over the obscene amount of time it takes, but that's why Lights Out is there... The redirection is a result of some IIS configuration. It could be a LOT of different things, maybe .NET 2 isn't installed/configured/enabled, maybe a global handler is there, etc. This is why we provide the integrated web server, to get started faster. Can you provide some specifics about what IIS you're using? We might be able to provide some pointers on where to start looking...

If you're using the integrated web server, can you verify that the "BuildMaster Web Server" service is started? (Start > Run > "services.msc" to check, if it's not, just click Start). If you're using IIS to host the BuildMaster site, can you verify that the site is started and the BuildMaster app pool is running?
