I'm having a weird problem with websync 4.0: it works fine on my local machine, but when I deploy to a test server I get this error 

System.Exception: Publication failed. result : {"channel":"\/n\/95e4d313-27eb-441b-966d-c8630f80ec9a","error":"606::Publisher access is disabled. Publisher access can be enabled by setting server[allowPublishers] to true in web.config.","ext":{"fm.meta":{"ticketID":""}}}

The thing is that I have 2 web applications developed on .net:

  • one for the website
  • one for the websync server

In both web.config files I've added 

  <WebSync>
    <server providerType="FM.WebSync.Server.Providers.Sticky.InProcProvider" httpDirectPublish="true"/>
  </WebSync>

On localhost (where it works just fine) both IIS applications point to localhost.

From the website project I make a call via javascript to subscribe to a channel, and it works fine on both my machine and the test machine.

But when I try to send a message (and invite both parties to join a private channel) it only works on my local machine (this message sending is done via a http post to a method from the web site server which makes a publish to the websync server thus resulting in that error.)

Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.

The reason your websync is "not reading the web.config" is because you are using deprecated settings. The httpDirectPublish setting was for WebSync 3. For WebSync 4 this has been renamed to allowPublishers.

The documentation for WebSync 4 configuration is here: WebSync 4 Configuration Docs

Your web.config snippet above should look like this for WebSync 4:

<WebSync>
    <server allowPublishers="true" providerType="FM.WebSync.Server.InProcProvider" />
</WebSync>

NOTE: The FM.WebSync.Server.InProcProvider is the default, so you could technically omit that configuration.

Ok. After further investigation it turns out that Websync wasn't reading the web.config file (for some unknown reason). I've managed to fix this by adding the following line in code:

Config.Current.Server.AllowPublishers = true;

Where Config is actually fm.websync.server.config

Hope this helps someone :)
