Help w/Merge Repl using Port 8080 to PDA subscriber


Help w/Merge Repl using Port 8080 to PDA subscriber dw

sql server replication:
Hello...

Using SQL 2005 merge replication and we are currently replicating data
between the server and multiple (100's) of subscribers that use a PDA
(running SQL Mobile).

I have to now change the replication to support a non-standard port, Port
8080, in this scenario. And try as I have...I cannot figure out a two
things: (1) How to get the replication DLL to be visible or work even...when
I browse to something like,
http://ServerName.Domain.com:8080/ReplFolder/sqlcesa30.dll. This only yields
a Page Not Found error. (2) How I can set the attributes on the client to
get to this specific port. Is it as simple as just adding the port to the
connection string? If so..then maybe my issue with number one (above) is the
problem.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the speedy reply.

1. Yes the web server responds to:
http://serverName.Domain.com:8080

2. No, I get a page not found error when I browse to:
http://serverName.Domain.com:8080/ReplFolder/sqlcesa30.dll

3. I can remote desktop to that server and browse to:
http://localhost/ReplFolder/sqlcesa30.dll
and I get the page, "SQL Server Mobile Server Agent 3.0".

4. I made sure that the virtual folder is configured...I initially set it
up using the SQL Mobile server tools wizard thing....and my initial snapshots
are created fine in that folder too.

would there be anything else for me to check?

thanks,
- will

1) can you see if your web server is responsive on port 8080, do something
like

http://ServerName.Domain.com:8080

If so, then try this

http://ServerName/ReplFolder/sscesa30.dll

You should see a message saying SQL CE Agent Started or something like
that - it sounds like you are not getting this far.

Also make sure your virtual directory is configured.

Yes you clients need to be configured to address the port/

It looks like your virtual directory is not configured correctly, or the
isapi dll is not there. Browse it in the IIS mmc and make sure it is
configured correctly.

As it turned out...the virtual folder was set up in the wrong web folder.
Once I moved the sql ce replication folder beneath the web folder that is
using port 8080, it all worked well.
