which version?

[JavaWiz]

Send me your config.xml (2 files, one the server, the 2nd from the client). It seems to me, something is not configured correctly.

I have noticed that the following:
2007-12-29 10:28:27.703 VERBOSE [1] Looking for missing assembly in D:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\plugins\SearchWizX2: WizWebHelper, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
2007-12-29 10:28:27.703 VERBOSE [1] Looking for missing assembly in plugin\common: WizWebHelper, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
2007-12-29 10:28:27.703 VERBOSE [1] Assembly found...
2007-12-29 10:28:27.718 VERBOSE [1] ...and loaded

Is this indicating some other error as well?

No, that just indicates the program looks for the WizWebHelper.DLL in the SearchWiz directory first, then in the commons directory (where it was found).

I have attached the client and server configs - hope they are useful

Well, from what I see, it looks like you are configured correctly. Could you start up PVRX2, go into SearchWiz, Refresh DB, then exit. Zip up the log and post.


Also, from you client machine, in a cmd prompt can you type:

dir \\Whizzo-media-pc\gbpvr

and get the directory listing? If not, then your shares are not setup correctly.

[fluffykeith]

Yep I can dir gbpvr directory from the client.

Here is the log.

I hit the update db quite a few times as I cound't read the box that pops up - its a bit fast but it says copying something!

I think the offending line is this one

SearchWiz2: CopyDBFromServerThread()- FROM: D:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.db3

hope thats a good pointer - no pun intended

Ok, it is a configuration issue on your client machine. Refer to post #7 on this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?p=98782

You'll want to point your client DB connection to the server, right now it is pointing to the local db on the client.

In particular, you need to update the <DatabaseConnectionString> setting in the config.xml on the client machine. I have mine mapped to a UNC, rather than a drive (ie \\server\share), in your case it should be:

Code:

[COLOR=#0000ff]<[/COLOR][COLOR=#990000]DatabaseConnectionString[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]>[/COLOR][B]Data Source="\\Whizzo-media\pc\gbpvr\gbpvr.db3";Version=3;New=True;[/B][COLOR=#0000ff]</[/COLOR][COLOR=#990000]DatabaseConnectionString[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]>[/COLOR]

Give that a try (and you may want to scan thru the above thread for other gotchas) and let me know how you make out.

Wow - thats great.

It works fine now. I think the wiki needs updating to say this parameter needs to change because its not described in the client setup.

I'll read through the posting.

Just out of interest how do you keep track of these useful postings? did you remember one like it and searched or did you have a link stored in say a favourite or document?

I'm just trying to set this up and have often found the answer to fix the problem is hidden away in some posting and not in the wiki.

Thanks for helping sort this out, the search wiz is such an improvement over the built in one.

For specific useful links, I usually subscribe to the thread, so I can recall it easily out of my subscribe list.

Click on "Thread Tools" in the Menu bar area of the thread, and select "Subscribe to this Thread". Then under quick links, you can select "Subscribed threads" to recall the list.

Ah excellent

Thanks for the tip - I've been having a hard time trying to locate my postings - I am sure there are some I've forgotten about.

cheers
