ERRORCODE ERRCA0002: Could not contact Cache service

Question

 

I have two machine , one is my lap top without visual studio but has .Net 3.5 framework where i have set up the cluster and then i have my primary dev machine with Visual Studio and 3.5 framework which has the Dev1 environment as per the the CTP documentation .

 

I have the shared folder for cluster also set up on the dev machine.

 

When i run the following code from my dev environment .

 

CacheFactory CacheCluster1 = new CacheFactory();

Cache Cache1 = CacheCluster1.GetCache("Cache1");

Cache1.Add("cachedStringKey1", "This string will be stored in cache");

 

I get an error

Unhandled Exception: System.Data.Caching.CacheException: ErrorCode<ERRCA0002>:Ca
che::Add : Could not contact the cache service. Contact administrator and refer

Press any key to continue . . .

 

Note :

I have already made the change in app.config to point to machine where i have set up my cluster.

All machines are in corpnet environment.

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Answer 1

 

Do you have logs enabled? Can you share them?

Before that, can you provide your app.config?

Answer 3

Hi

 

1. You would need to create the named cache before use (in the name of "Cache1") in the cluster from the admin tool. Refer to the admin commands for help on how to do it.

2. You should have no firewall of connectivity problems between the client code and the cache service.

3. If the problem still persists, please do share the configuration files.

 

Thanks,
