Unable to find the maintenance token for TeamCity in the server log

teamcityteamcity-9.0

I installed TeamCity on Windows Server 2012. It has been working fine setting up a few builds. I then attempted to install some plugins by putting .zip files in the ~/.BuildServer/plugins folder. I restarted the server by cd'ing to c:\TeamCity\bin and running "runAll stop" followed by "runAll start".

Then when I go to the teamcity page for several minutes I get a "Enter the maintenance authentication token" page. It says on the page to find the maintenance token in the teamcity-server.log file (see screenshot below). I look in c:\TeamCity\logs\teamcity-server.log and it has several "super user token" and "agent authorizationtoken". I tried using these token but get an invalid maintenance token error.

TeamCity Enter the Maintenance Authentication Token

So my question is where do I find the maintenance token?

Edit: This has resolved itself for me since upgrading to the latest TeamCity version. None of the suggested answers worked at the time I had this problem so that's why I am not marking anything as the accepted answer.

Please check out file teamcity-winservice.log in logs subfolder of your Teamcity. Auth token should be here.

How to configure proxy settings for TeamCity

If you want to configure a proxy for svn access from your TeamCity server then this is probably easiest done by configuring a svn proxy as usual for the user account that makes the svn fetches. I know CruiseControl.NET better than TeamCity but for CC.NET it's the account that's the main service runs as.

You'll find this at one of

C:\Users\AccountName\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\servers on Vista/7/2008 (domain account)
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\servers on Vista/7/2008 (service account)
C:\Documents and Settings\AccountName\Application Data\Subversion\servers on XP/2003

You'll probably want to set up the proxy in the [global] section at the bottom of the file - uncomment and fill in at least the http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port lines.

.net – MSBuild error MSB3021: Unable to copy file. Could not find file ‘obj\Release\theWebProject1.dll’

Alright, I figured it out. It's a "Configuration" mismatch. You have one project building with Configuration=MSBuildRelease and two other projects building with Configuration=Release. MSBuild then looks in the wrong place for the "intermediate" assemblies.

Change your code to this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"
  ToolsVersion="4.0"
  DefaultTargets="Build">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputDir>C:\MSBUILDRELEASE</OutputDir>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectToBuild Include="UtilityApp.sln" >
      <Properties>OutputPath=$(OutputDir);Configuration=MSBuildRelease;Platform=x86</Properties>
    </ProjectToBuild>
  </ItemGroup>

  <Target Name="Build">
    <MSBuild Projects="@(ProjectToBuild)"/>
            <CallTarget Targets="Publish WebProject1" />
            <CallTarget Targets="Publish WebProject2" />  
  </Target>

<Target Name="Publish WebProject1">
 <RemoveDir Directories="$(OutputFolder)"
       ContinueOnError="true" />
 <MSBuild Projects="WebProject1\WebProject1.csproj"
      Targets="ResolveReferences;_CopyWebApplication"
      Properties="WebProjectOutputDir=$(OutputDir)\WebProject1\;
      OutDir=$(OutputDir)\WebProject1\;Configuration=MSBuildRelease;Platform=AnyCPU" />
</Target>

<Target Name="Publish WebProject2">
 <RemoveDir Directories="$(OutputFolder)"
       ContinueOnError="true" />
 <MSBuild Projects="WebProject2\WebProject2.csproj"
      Targets="ResolveReferences;_CopyWebApplication"
      Properties="WebProjectOutputDir=$(OutputDir)\WebProject2\;
      OutDir=$(OutputDir)\WebProject2\;Configuration=MSBuildRelease;Platform=AnyCPU" />
</Target>

</Project>
