Adding New Team Projects Fails (Worked Yesterday)
After perusing many a blog till the wee hours of the morning, I finally got Team Foundation Server installed and running. I created a few new Team Projects and everything worked fine except deleting the build files from my own local temp directory and I can clear those manually. My problem is that today I came back to add a couple more Team Projects and when I get to the final step of the wizard (Specify Version Control Settings), the “Branch from:” option is disabled and the drop down for the list of current Team Projects shows “[Loading list of team project folders…]”. I tried this from another developers machine (also a member of the Namespace Administrators group) and his system has the same problem, so I’m guessing it’s a problem with the foundation. I tried creating the project in “an empty version control folder” but that fails also. When I read through the log file I find the following Exception entry:
Module: Engine
Event Description: Task "Scc.SccTask" failed
Exception Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Hatteras.Util.HatterasException
Exception Message: Please contact your administrator.There was an error contacting the server.
Sounds to me like the Source Control system is not responding, but SQL Server is running on the server (Analysis Server, Report Server, SQL Server and SQL Server Agent) and I confirmed thathttp://localhost/Reports is also working correctly. I’m at a loss, where do I go to check and see if Source Control is running and if not, how do I start it.
Thank you,
