We’ve just upgrade Octopus from v0.9 to Version 1.0.30.1340 and have upgrade octo.exe to version 1.0.16.46 . We are now getting this error when trying to create a release with Octo.exe.

Can you provide some troubleshooting guidance please.

Thanks,

Paul,

We’ve resolve this. We did the following

  1. Restarted the server after the license was applied.
  2. Created a release manually and then deployed it.

We arent sure if one of these steps or the combination of both resolved the issue. Any additional info would help.

Thanks,

James.

Hi James,

Glad you resolved it. It looks like the original issue was down to how the URI was formatted on the client - I’d say it’s a bug with Octo.exe rather than the Octopus server. I’ll take a look at it next time I am in the Octo.exe area.

Hi,

had the same problem and it was caused by us having two active projects and running the free version of Octopus. Maybe a friendlier errormessage is in place?

Hope this helps,

Niklas
