Sync Error: Local Web URL cannot be the same as remote Web URL

  • Updated
Description
Sync completed but the Webalert notification failed. Please check the error message for details. Error:Ektron.Sync.Entities.InvalidCmsConfigurationException: Local Web URL 'https:' cannot be the same as remote Web URL 'https:'. Please verify the databases, IIS Sites, the Web.config and ServerInfo files on both servers.

The above error primarily occurs for one of two reasons.

  • The wspath(found in the web.config) is the same on both syncing environments.
  • The wspath has workarea in the URL.
    e.g. http://workarea.stage/Workarea/ServerControlWS.asmx
Steps
  1. Make the wspaths unique for the syncing sites.
  2. If present remove "workarea" from the URL of the wspath and use a different binding on the IIS site.
