Upgrade to 9.0 - server cannot start

[RalphU]

I upgraded from 8.4 to 9.0 and got these errors:

 ---- Catalog: NetCatalog - Media Store Folder cannot be the same as Auto Import Folder
-----------------------------------
Initialize---- Catalog: NetCatalog - Media Store Folder cannot be the same as Auto Import Folder vid Service.WCF.ServerService.DaminionService.Initialize(ServiceBase service, EventLog eventlog, String serviceName, String configPath, Boolean consoleMode) i C:\Daminion\code

Since I cannot start Server, I cannot change settings for the Catalog.

How do I solve this?

Hi Ralph, 

 

please start Notepad as administrator, click on Open and open the "catalogs.config" file located in the Daminion server installation directory, Change the dropFolder= parameter and save the changes. 

Please let me know how it helps.

It doesn't seem to help. 

This is my config:

mediaStorePath="G:\OneDrive\Daminionmedia" dropFolder="G:\OneDrive\Daminiondrop"
folderTemplate="" filenameTemplate="" thumbnailsStorePath="G:\OneDrive\ThumbnailsDaminion"
videoStorePath="G:\OneDrive\VideoPrwDaminion" videoStorePathNew=""

Hi Ralph, Daminion should not prevent you from using different subfolder of the same folder for Upload and Drop folders...

 

 

 

Would you like to schedule a remote session to troubleshoot?

Daria, the problem is that I cannot start the server. If the server is stopped, I cannot edit Catalog settings. 

It looks like I have to downgrade to 8.4, fix the problem and then upgrade again. Is there a way to dowhgrade?

Hi Ralph, 

 

You can edit the parameters by opening the catalogs.config in Notepad started as administrator. Let's schedule a remote TeamViewer session and I will help you out. 

 

Kind regards,

Problem solved!

Sorry to have bothered you with this, Daria. I edited the wrong file - seems I had one in Program Files and one in Program(x86).

Hi Ralph, glad it is sorted out! Yep, following the upgrade to a 64bit version, the installation directory of the server is now in Program Files by default. Apologies for the confusion!
