HI,
I’m trying to use Ifolder but after the splash screen, I got this error message:

Error: Cannot start the local web services.
Error: The Simias process failed to initialize.
       Use the command line switch --showconsole to view the error.

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at Novell.iFolder.iFolderApplication.StartiFolder () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at System.Threading.Thread.StartUnsafe () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

I tried the tutorial: iFolder on OpenSuSE 11.3 full install walkthrough
But no success!

Hi
Did you see the note?;


NOTE: openSuSE 11.4 as of 10Mar2011 is out NOW and I DO NOT recommend using it for an iFolder server at this time, mono and libflaim need more
development. openSuSE 11.4 ships with mono 2.8.2 and iFolder server WILL NOT BUILD! Please save yourself a headache and wait a bit.

I’m using it here, but the server is on SLES 11 SP1 with mono 2.6, my client works fine on openSUSE 11.4

ok, I uninstall then…
No other way?

Hi
I would jump on IRC #ifolder and ask the developers direct to see what the status is.

try install the package “mono-wcf”.

indeed, it works!
it asked me the server name? what is it?
