Source: Internet
Author: User

Recently, I need to access the source code through the Internet. I first wanted to use SVN, but I only used its client. I have never configured a server, and my peers have never touched it, I have read about the introduction that the new VSS supports Internet access. So I opened MSDN and found some English documents. to share the information with people who are not very good at English as I did, I would like to write down the entire setup process here.
1. settings of the VSS Server
1. log on to the WEB server with an account room with administrator privileges ;;
2. Run Visual SourceSafe Administrator (if VSS2005 has not been installed on the WEB server, install it first)
3. because you need to remotely access VSS through the INTERNET, you cannot use a directory name similar to E: \ VSS when opening the database. Instead, you must use the shared name of the \ MACHINE name \ VSS database, for example:\ Dev \ vss, Database required;
4. After opening the menu, select Server-Config (this menu is newly added by VSS2005, and is not available in earlier versions). The following dialog box is displayed:

Select the "Enable SourceSafe Internet for this computer" and "Enable SourceSafe Internet for this database" check boxes in the preceding dialog box, and enter the "Web Server Name" (for exampleWww.skymapsoft.com). Click OK to exit. (For the first time, you will be prompted whether to use SSL. If necessary, you can configure SSL.
Note: If the preceding dialog box cannot be displayed, your VSS database and WEB service are not on the same machine.
5. to confirm whether the settings are correct, open the preceding dialog box and check whether "Enable SourceSafe Internet for this database" is selected, if not, it indicates that you have not opened the database using the \ MACHINE name \ VSS database sharing name. Please try again in this way;

Ii. Client settings (you can only use the vss internet Plug-in VS2005 to access the database set up above. Using the VSS client directly is not acceptable)
1. Run VS2005;
2. Select tool-option to open the option dialog box.
3. Select source code management- ins, and Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (Internet) on the right)
4. Select source code management-plug-in settings. Click the Advanced button on the right side to display the following:

If you select SSL in the Server Settings section, select the check box above. Otherwise, click OK.
5. Save the option and disable it;
6. Right-click the project or project to be added to VSS and select "add solution to source code management ":

7. Click "Add" to display the Add wizard. Click "Next:

Enter the IP Address or domain name to access in the Address field;
In "Folder", enter "\ MACHINE name \ VSS sharing name" (that is, the UNC path name used to open the VSS database when the server is set.
8. click "Next" and follow the Wizard to complete the add operation. Return to the dialog box in step 2 and click "Open". (If SSL is not used, a security warning will appear in the middle. skip this step and continue)

9. Select the directory to be added to VSS and click "OK" to upload the source code to VSS.
