Error when Opening SmartDeploy V3


Recommended Posts

I followed all the necessary steps for upgrading from V2 to V3 of SmartDeploy and it was working correctly immediately afterwards. I uninstalled V2 as indicated, and now V3 gives an error message when I attempt to open the program. It indicates it is attempting to connect to the SmartDeploy server, but then errors out and says "Unable to authenticate with the provided SmartDeploy Api Service URL. Please ensure the URL is correct and the server is available." I know this is pointing to the localhost at port 8080. I still have V2 installed on another computer and it is authenticating with no issue at all. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Having this issue as well ran into it two or three times now. Figured something got corrupted so I did a repair install and it worked again. Then I did a full uninstall and reinstall and it worked again. It just stopped working yesterday again. Can't keep doing that so I opened a ticket just now. Also added the exceptions when it prompts and verified they were there. Stopping the service and restarting it including a full reboot doesn't help either.

I just tried installing V3 on my own machine to try to connect to the server, same error even with the proper URL added. Very odd.

Please contact us in support, and we can investigate the issue. We'll want to make sure that the MongoDB service is starting, and add a dependency for the SmartDeploy API service to not start until the MondoDB service has also started. We're releasing a new version that addresses this and other bugs discovered since release soon, but the command to add that dependency is: sc config sdapiservice depend= mongodb

We have also discovered that some users have a service that's using port 8080, which affects the SmartDeploy API service. Running netstat -ab will give you a list of everything that's using a port and you can determine if this the case for you. We're working on a solution for this in situations where users cannot remove the other application that's using port 8080.

I am a new user of Smart Deploy, awesome program so far but ran into this same exact issue and I am running version 3.0.1020 (newest).

I have found after reading all the post here about this issue still don't understand why they haven't fixed this yet but the quick easy fix is to (if your Smart Deploy API service is not starting) is to stop the MongoDB then start the SmartDeployAPI service which will then auto start the MongoDB (since they are dependent on each other) then try and start the program again.

 

Thanks
