Replication timeouts over slow link?

[scottr9]

I am trying to evaluate Plastic SCM over our company's VPN. I have set up a Plastic SCM server on the company network and one on my remote PC. From the remote PC, I have been attempting to "pop" the main branch, but this always ends in failure while fetching ACLs. I don't have the exact error message, but it is something along the lines of: "the remote server forcibly closed the connection". I have done the same thing on the local network, so I don't think that it is any kind of configuration problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It looks very close to our internal setup here. Let's see what's going

wrong.

It looks like a typical replication scenario. The replication client

(your graphical user interface app) is contacting the server every few

seconds to check the progress, so the underlying network connection is

always active.

Let's try to gather more info about the issue. Please follow the next

instructions:

1- Edit your loader.log.conf file (at your Plastic SCM server's

directory, where the plasticd.exe binaries are)

2- Add the following section to the log:

<logger name="Replication">

<level value="DEBUG" />

</logger>

3- Repeat the "pop" operation.

4- Send us the generated loader.log.txt file (at your server's location)

5- Please also tell us which Plastic SCM relase you're trying.
