Set Up Server Environment

Check firewall configuration

Check that Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is installed

Check that Microsoft's .NET 1.1 framework is installed

Check firewall configuration

SourceOffSite operates using a TCP/IP-based networking protocol. This protocol can be operated on any port. The ports are configured in the General Settings tab of the Server Manager utility. If a firewall or proxy server is in place, the firewall or proxy server may need to be configured to allow connections on that port to pass.

Check that Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is installed

The Server must be installed on a machine where Visual SourceSafe has already been installed. Installing the VSS Explorer Client from the CD will ensure that all of the VSS APIs are installed on the server machine. Please verify that Visual SourceSafe has been installed on the machine that will host the SourceOffSite Server.

Check that Microsoft’s .NET 1.1 framework is installed

The SourceOffSite Server is written in C# and requires the Microsoft .NET 1.1 framework.  You can check to see if the 1.1 framework is installed on your server machine by looking in the Microsoft.NET\Framework folder located in your Windows directory.
