Hi I following a tutorial on how to setup Vray with AWS Thinkbox portal and i have reached a road block when using Deadline trying to validate my local Drivelogs.zip (1.1 MB) C: or any path for Path i specify to the Asset server settings. The error states There is an issue with the asset directory given. Cannot validate all the settings.
Please check root directory specified.
Would you like to still save the settings?
I can see others in the forum have gone through this same problem but I cant find a solution. I have also uploaded the logs if that helps. THX
Have you tried ignoring the warning and saving the settings (by clicking Yes)?
I have seen the same message many times, and I consider it a dirty liar
Looking at the latest log in the zip, the errors it is reporting are that it cannot communicate with the Repository. In the beginning of the log it seems to be failing to connect directly

Later it fails to find the NetworkRoot from deadline.ini

I am not sure what is going on there, but it looks like the Asset Server is unable to talk to the Repository… The Asset Roots should be your least worry
Thanks for getting back to me BoBo. I shall continue with the tutorials and hopefully everything works out. I’ll also look at some of the lines you highlighted and try and beginner hack/fix the issue. I’ll let you know how it goes cheers.
