Editing triggers / conditions fails under Windows 7 after reboot

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

Using FinalBuilder Server 6.3.0.731 under Windows 7 Enterprise encounters webserver errors after a reboot.

This maybe a configuration error somewhere, I'm not sure.  Further directions to diagnose this would be helpful.

  1. Computer Reboots.
  2. Logon to Website ( setup as a site rather than a virtual directory ).
  3. Edit a project ( doesn't matter which project ).
  4. Edit a trigger ( doesn't matter which trigger, tried Perforce and Time; adding a trigger likewise does not work ).

 

At this point the webserver returns a fairly uniformative error message and I'll post it next time I see it.

To clear the error and edit triggers again:

  1. Stop the Website under Computer Management > Services & Applications > IIS > Sites > FBServer6.
  2. Stop ( at most ) the FinalBuilder "Management Service" and "Build Service" from the "FinalBuilder Service Configuration" "Services" tab.
  3. Start the FinalBuilder "Management Service" and "Build Service".
  4. Start the Website.

At this point everything seems to work.  I'm not sure if this occurs after every reboot, but it happens often enough.  This might also be related to triggers failing due to the other post I just made regarding "no profile loaded on this computer" domain logon problems.

Thanks

The link local address 169.254.xxx.xxx would seem to indicate that the service might be starting before the TCP interface fully started.  One of the new features of Windows 7 is the parallelized startup...

Hi John,

Could you have a look in the Windows Event Log for error messages from either FinalBuilderServer.exe or FinalBuilder web site, the stack trace you’ve posted suggests that the build service was down which usually indicates an underlying problem.
