CCtray unable to connect to dashboard

Question

I am using CCnet 1.6 and cctray 1.6. On the build server, the tray works properly using localhost. Remotely though, I am not able to connect the tray to the dashboard. The dashboard URL works great, but when I put that into the cctray settings, I get a 500 internal server error.

This worked up until I had to move CCnet from defaultwebsite to its own. Did I miss something when I changed it over?

Thanks, Joe

Answer 1

Actually this is similar to a question I just asked but if you want to persist with remoting (but may not work so well over the Internet with firwalls and the like)

1. Open your dashboard.config (likely path is C:\Program Files (x86)\CruiseControl.NET\webdashboard\dashboard.config)

2. Find the port number your dashboard is connecting to the server on (eg: 21234)

3. In CC Tray, select remoting and enter hostname:portnumber (eg: mycruiseserver:21234)

Answer 2

Assuming that the CCNET server is part of your local network this should work:

• Select .NET remoting as connection type
• Specify the CCNET server's address only by its IP address (instead of using the dashboard URL)
