RavenDB build #2127 Client side exception: [Argument_StreamNotReadable] when trying to create a new Database

Question

I just downloaded the new unstable release of RavenDB #2127 according to Ayende's announcement.

I want to test how fast it'll perform on an existing app that's currently using build #888.

RavenDB is deployed as an IIS application.

Web.config had:

<add key="Raven/AnonymousAccess" value="Get"/>

I was getting a forbidden exception. Then I changed it to:

<add key="Raven/AnonymousAccess" value="All"/>

Now I'm getting the following "awful" exception when trying to create a new Database using Raven Studio.

If you know what's causing this, please share the solution.

I also opened a bug report at RavenDB issue tracking site. If you want to follow it, here's the link:

Answer 1

After some debugging with Ayende on a Skype chat, he just mentioned this:

[10/21/12 3:10:31 AM] Oren Eini: When running in IIS... did you enable Windows Auth? You need it to create a new DB.

It turns out that Windows authentication was not even installed on my machine... I'm trying this in a new Windows 8 install. So I had to go and install the Windows auth feature. Then I went to IIS and enabled Windows Auth for the RavenDB Website:

Now creating a new database through Raven Studio JUST WORKS! :)

Ayende is always present helping us get the most out of RavenDB. Excellent support from his part.
