Hi all,

During multiple attempts to install the Team Foundation Server we encountered the 32000 and the 26105 errors repeatedly. In the end our problems were trivial and may help some of you encountering these same errors.

1) Problem: Using WinIso to extract the DVD image files: We were downloading the ISO images from MSDN and were extracting them for the install. During the SQL server installation an error message appeared several times indicating missing files. We selected Ignore and continued with the install process. At the completion of the install, all components were up and running and no failure indications were displayed. The Team Foundation Server install was not successful and resulted in an error message.

Solution: To correct this we burned the ISO images to a DVD and mapped the virtual machine CD/DVD drive to the drive containing the downloaded DVDs. Installations worked with no reports of missing files.

2) Problem: We were using Virtual server and were performing the install off a virtual machine running Windows Server 2003 O/S. The RAM set for the virtual machine was too low so when we fixed problem 1) above, we were still encountering the 32000 error. In further troubleshooting, we observed that the memory usage during the final stages of the Team Foundation Server install was high and occasionally resulted in a low Virtual memory warning dialog. The install eventually timed out and resulted in the 32000 error.

Solution: To overcome this problem, we went into the virtual machine configuration and increased the RAM allocated to the virtual machine to 1024 MB.


After making the above corrections and following the install guide we were able to successfully install the Team Foundation Server without any error messages.

Thanks all

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install Team Foundation Server on a Windows 2003 server and just before it finishes I get this error:

Error 28100. Error loading event webservice.

I have tried whatever I found on the web like deleting the registry entry and running install again, Changing permisssions

When I check System Log I found these 2 logs:

1. The identity of application pool, 'TFS AppPool' is invalid. If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.


2. The identity of application pool 'TFS AppPool' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool. Therefore, the application pool has been disabled.

A failure was encountered while launching the process serving application pool 'TFS AppPool'. The application pool has been disabled.

The source of these errors is W3SVC.

Seems like for some reason the identity of application pool is invalid, so the applocation pool will be disabled and then the last error complains about it being disabled!

Anyone has any idea about this installation process and how to fix it?

Cheers,

Hi I am gettings this error:

Error 28906. WiDbLoc: Failed to localize a field in the database.

I have SQL 2005 installed on Windows 2003 Standard (SP1 etc.) it is running New Zealand English and TFS Beta 3 Refresh (database only)
On another Windows 2003 Standard box I am trying to install the application tier and that is when I get the error.

And the section of the error log (if that helps?)

[11/01/05,17:18:42] Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (services) - ENU: ***ERRORLOG EVENT*** : ERROR:Error 28906.WiDbLoc: Failed to localize a field in the database.

Hello

I've added some Picture Library to our project site, now I have two problems:

1. I do not see this library in Team explorer in Documents Folder.

2. I want to delete this library but do not get how I can do this.



Please help me with this.
Suresh

Hi Suresh,

I believe that it may have to be a Document Library, but I am not positive. You may try to refresh the TFS Server in Team Explorer to see if it shows. You can also go into the Sharepoint site and delete the library. Got to the Documents and Lists section and then into the Picture Libraries and delete the directory.

Hello Suresh,

It is not document library, but Picture library.
I found the way to delete it (it is not so trivial as it could be).

1. On the page that displays the picture library, under Actions, click

Modify settings and columns.

2. Under General Settings, click Delete this picture library.


Thank you.

Hi arjkhanna

I am also encountering the same problem.

My application eventlog says

Source: MsiInstaller

Event: 10005

Description: Prodict Microsoft VS2005 Team F.S. ENU Error 28100.Error loading Event web service.

There is no nothing at Microsoft Help and Support Centre.

Anyone here who can help.

I am not sure if you can retry an upgrade, but I had issues and then I found this link and I was able to upgrade successfully.



Upgrading to TFS SP1? - Ponder .NET

think the error is happening becasue there is some issue with identity linked to TFS Service/app pool. I am assuming the password for identity has not expired and the identify has all the permissions mentioned in install guide.

Can you please check one thing for me?

Check if the identity linked to TFS is in IIS_WPG group on the server. If it is not in this group can you add it and check if it works.

Please let me know what you find.

regards

Hi ArjKhanna..

1 )Increasing the RAM allocation did nothing for us. We are running with VMware GSX and allocated 1024M with little success. I have watched the perf monitor throughout the entire TFS install, and it does not appear to be memory intensive. The install does indeed timeout, at the same two places, but not because the machine was running out of memory resources and things were being swapped -- those services are not available/locatable. This install is anything, but trivial. It is especially frustrating to have an install that cannot be restarted -- and that leaves the machine in an indeterminate state. There would be no reasonable to try this so many times w/o some virtualization software.

2) Problem: We were using Virtual server and were performing the install off a virtual machine running Windows Server 2003 O/S. The RAM set for the virtual machine was too low so when we fixed problem 1) above, we were still encountering the 32000 error. In further troubleshooting, we observed that the memory usage during the final stages of the Team Foundation Server install was high and occasionally resulted in a low Virtual memory warning dialog. The install eventually timed out and resulted in the 32000 error.

Solution: To overcome this problem, we went into the virtual machine configuration and increased the RAM allocated to the virtual machine to 1024 MB.

Hi Arjkhanna,

Can you make sure that TCP/IP is enabled on the box running SQL? This tool (WiDbLoc) expects TCP/IP support to be enabled and we've seen this error internally when it's not.

Also, did the system health checks return normally?

Thanks

Thanks for your help.

I tried it, but still get errors. I am gonna retry the whole process and give details of errors.

Thanks,

I don't know the details of your problems but I wanted to comment that in the minimum requirements we say that 1GB is the minimum amount of memory supported for the server. A server for a small team runs fine in 1 GB. A larger team should use at least 2 and possibly 4. The server for our team of 300-400 has 4 GB on the application tier and 16 GB on the data tier.

Both TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled.
The health check was fine.

Thanks..

Hi all,

I'm getting this error. It just started.

(#50070: Unable to connect to the database STS_Config )

Any ideas?

Hi Bluesky,

STS_CONFIG is the name of the configuration database in Windows Share Point Services. You may want to check this KB:

An event ID 1000 error message is logged to the application event log when you restart Windows Small Business Server 2003

There is also info here which may help:

http://wss.collutions.com/Lists/FAQ/...rm.aspx?ID=207

While these articles apply to SBS, the fact remains that the issue seems to lie with Share Point and the Timer Service. Make sure that is running correctly for a start.

Hi,

I have tried both solutions above as well as changing services to run Under "System" account with no luck.

I am not running VERITAS.

This prolem started occurring after the deployment of SP1.

Thanks for any help.

Hi ,

Does this prevent you from being able to see the default web site (http://<ATServerName>), or any of your team sites?

Please ensure that the Sharepoint Timer service is running under the same account as the App pool running the Sharepoint Central Admin web site.

Thanks,

Thanks for the response.

I have already made sure that both the "Sharepoint Timer" and "MSSQL$SHAREPOINT" are running on the "System" Account.

I have also made sure that the Default web site is "All Unassigned".

The companyweb and team sites seems to be running just fine as well.

This all started occuring after the installation of SP1.

I am getting roughly 22 errors a day.



Thanks for you input!

Hi,

Why do you have MSSQL$SHAREPOINT? Are you sure that you installed Share point in farm mode?

Share point should be running under the TFS Service account, as should the App Pools for the default web site and the Share point Admin Site (please check the app pools in IIS manager).
