    How to set up Umbraco as the datasource?

    Hi all

    I'm currently using Contour version 1.11.32 on a Umbraco 4.9 install running SQL CE.

    When I'm trying to setup a datasource, which should be the Umbraco instance itself I get the following error:

    System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.Exception: Webservices not enabled at umbraco.webservices.BaseWebService.UserAuthenticates(String username, String password) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

    I'm using the credentials of the Umbraco user - not sure about the webservice thing? Do I need to configure some access somewhere I'm not aware of?

    Thanks in advance.

    /Jan

    Hey Jan,

    Make sure the webservices are enabled on the site you are using as a datasource

    You need to do that in the /config/umbracsettings.config file

    <webservices enabled="True">

    + add the user to the documentServiceUsers

    <documentServiceUsers>admin</documentServiceUsers>
