Hi Roger,
i have installed 2.5 from scratch cause an update from 2.4.6 failed. I tried a few things but finally i killed the IIS entry, deleted the GSP folder and deleted the SQL Server Database.

I installed GSP 2.5 then via the webinstaller which worked perfectly.
So i'm not longer using my SQL2008r2 server for the Database.

I can logon and configure everything as previous so everything seems fine.
I then configured my images data folder , the compressed and thumbnail folder.
To really start from scratch i also cleared both folders.

Finally i started the synchronisation which ran some time but then stopps with HTTP ERROR 500

My System is a Windows 7 64bit Server, all available updates via windows updates are installed .net4 is installed.

ffmpeg.exe and imagemagick is installed.
i have jpg and avi files in my data storage.

Can you help me? Which data do you need for debugging?

I removed the offending files (moved the whole directory, had to restart IIS to remove the file lock on the bad one) and was able to get the synchronization to continue. It ran all night and seems to be hung at the finish. It says it's done all the files but still has the Cancel button. Tonight I'll move the bad directory back, except for the one file, and see if I can do all except the one...

hi,
good hint ! will try this as well, but there seems to be still a problem with 2.5 cause exact the same folders were working with the 2.4 version very fine.

so hopefully roger find something to sort this out.

Hi, If you disable the metadata setting in your admin control panel the sync works, this way you can still run the sync function and shows its one or more of your pics is causing the problem. I believe roger has a patch for this as he solved the very same issue for me.
Jeff.

Forgot to mention when the latest patch blog post is applied to gsp and you run sync you may find as I did duplicate images for each item you had tried to upload, hope that makes sense!
Jeff.
