Hi, still having problems with the rest API, my media gallery manager which worked in 2008 RTM doesn't work in SP1, I get a nice little error exception about something wrong on the server side.

Little digging and I've found this

"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation at CommunityServer.WebServices.Common.BaseService.GetResponse(String url)\r\n   at CommunityServer.WebServices.Common.BaseService.ValidateUserApiKey(String username, String apiKey)\r\n   at CommunityServer.WebServices.Common.BaseService..ctor(String siteUrl, String username, String apiKey)\r\n   at CommunityServer.WebServices.MediaGalleries.MediaGalleriesService..ctor(String siteUrl, String username, String apiKey)\r\n   at nb.development.csmediamanager.Site.get_Service() in H:\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2008\\Projects\\nb development\\nb.development.csmediamanager\\Site.cs:line 69\r\n   at nb.development.csmediamanager.GalleryWorker.Run() in H:\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2008\\Projects\\nb development\\nb.development.csmediamanager\\Workers\\GalleryWorker.cs:line 35\r\n   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)\r\n   at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()"

I was getting the same error and fixed it by changing the client to the new one that was included in the solution when I downloaded SP1. The version that came with the SP1 download that I got is Version 4.0.30610.12572.

HTH,

Same here. The problem seems to be in the /api/membership.ashx/users/{username}/apikeys, this does return an error. Putting back the old dll's for the API does solve the problem (so i can keep on developing), but i'm hoping a decent fix will be available soon.

When SP1 was initially released, there was an issue with Telligent's obfuscator and the REST (and Mail Gateway) dlls.  Try redownloading CS2008 sp1 and redeploy those two dlls.

Have the SDK and Upgrade-packs also been updated? I've tried both, but still have the same errors. Back to the old dll's for me now...

I'm not sure about that - try taking them from the web install - they're libary components so you don't need to worry about inconistencies betwen that and the SDK.

I would also say make sure your client app is using the SP1 version of the client dll.

Is that the one from api.communityserver.org?

The CommunityServer.WebServices.dll binary included with SP1.
