Problem with sync service publishing.

Question

I’m working with the “ListService” example or tutorial “Creating and Consuming a WCF Sync Service” that shows you how to create the ListService. I’m working with Visual Studio 2010. I follow the tutorial and I can run the application locally in visual studio. I can also just view the service in visual studio locally. I try publishing the application to our web server and when I just try browsing the service I get the following error.

Request Error

The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details.

The server is a Windows 2008 r2 enterprise installation.

I’m new to creating a sync server and the error is not very descriptive. I’m not sure where to fine the server logs so I might get more information. Has anyone else followed the  example and run into this error and fixed it?

Answer 1

have you checked if you have installed Sync Framework on the server?

have you tried checking the items here?

Answer 2

That was my problem. I had to install the Synchronizationv2.1.msi and Database Providerv3.1.msi on the server.
