I've written a WCF service which tries to read the list items from a particular list in SharePoint. For testing purposes I run the WCF service using Visual Studio ASP.Net Development server. I pass the Site ID to the web service and from the web service I try to open the List and read the items. But when I try to read the items I'm getting the following error -
This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, located on the Start menu in Administrative Tools.
Here are some facts -
- I'm using SharePoint 2007 x64 in Windows Server 2008 x64 and it is a single server installation (no farm)
- I'm a Farm administrator
- I'm a System Administrator (but not domain administrator)
- I'm a SysAdmin for the SQL Server 2005 server in which is SharePoint is having its databases
- I'm the Site Collection Administrator in which the List is present
- I opened Visual Studio 2010 as adminsitrator
- In task manager, the ASP.Net development server process is running under my account
I don't have any idea why I'm getting that error. Any ideas?
