linux build still looking for settings.xml?

[LaszloSebo]

We get this error when trying to submit from linux command line:

Deadline Command 8.0 [v8.0.0.69 Release (f4bf23642)]

Configuration Error: The specified repository path (/mnt/isila/deadline/repository8) does not contain the necessary database connection settings file.

There may be a network issue, or a valid repository has not been installed at this location. If one has not yet setup a repository, it is possible to do so using the repository installer included in the installation files.

We got this on old builds of the windows version, due to the xml file having been replaced by the ini file.

i tried readding the old dbConnect.xml, but it didnt help

Looking at the code, this should only occur if the ‘settings/connection.ini’ is missing from the Repository, or if the client machine can’t see that file for whatever reason. Given that the repo is clearly working fine from other machines, I’d imagine it might be a file permission issue, missing read permissions perhaps?

In the meantime, I’ll do some testing on my side to see if I can replicate this on Linux as well.

It turned out to be a permissions issue on the repository when accessed from linux. Thanks Jon!
