How to configure SymbolSource Server Basic

I have SymbolSource Server Basic installed and running, following the instructions in Xavier Decosters blog entry.

I have set up Visual Studio as recommended by SymbolSource

The problem is that the Symbol Server returns 404's for all the url's that Visual Studio asks for.

Visual Studio accesses the following urls when trying to load the pdb:

The SymbolServer website has the following:

I have tried a large number of url variations in a browser, and I cannot get the Symbol server to return anything other than a 404 for any of them.

Does anyone know what to do here?

Thanks - Cedd

Solution

  • For any errors refer http://localhost/%your_app%/elmah.axd

    If you faced with 404.* errors then you should check the following conditions:

    1. Add write permissions onto 'Data' directory of application for IIS_IUSRS group
    2. Create separate AppPool for application and enable 32bit option
    3. Add MIME types for both .pdb (application/octet-stream) and .cs (text/plain) file types

    4. Edit web.config and add the following lines:

      <location path="Data">
<system.webServer>
  <handlers>
    <clear />
    <add name="Deny" verb="*" path="*.config" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler" />
    <add name="Allow" verb="GET,HEAD" path="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
  </handlers>
  <security>
    <requestFiltering>
      <fileExtensions allowUnlisted="true">
        <clear />
     <add fileExtension=".cs" allowed="true" />
      </fileExtensions>
    </requestFiltering>
  </security>
</system.webServer>


      <location path="WinDbg/pdbsrc">
<system.webServer>
  <handlers>
    <clear />
    <add name="Deny" verb="*" path="*.config" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler" />
    <add name="Allow" verb="GET,HEAD" path="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
  </handlers>
  <security>
    <requestFiltering>
      <fileExtensions allowUnlisted="true">
        <clear />
     <add fileExtension=".cs" allowed="true" />
      </fileExtensions>
    </requestFiltering>
  </security>
</system.webServer>

    My version of SymbolSource is 1.3.3
