Problem Creating Team Project

Hi,

I am running VSTS 2005 Beta 2 and have the single server installation. I was able to create team projects earlier but from yesterday evening it always fails to create the team project with the task CSS.UploadStructure failed due to timeout exception.

The complete error log is given below.

I looked at the similar post in the forumhttp://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=8703. But i am not running any firewall which could be the problem as inidcated by the post as the solution to the problem.

Also, i have increased the timeout for currituck web service from 2000 seconds to 5000 seconds but in vain.

Any pointers to what might be the possible causes for the above mentioned error will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Madhu

The most likely cause of this is connection from web service to db is not working. This is usually due to firewalls. You may want to open the firewall ports on the DT to ensure it is going though correctly.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I would like to point out, that this is single server installation and i don't have any firewall. It was working previously without any problems with the same configuration and suddenly it stopped working!!!

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Madhu
