Syncing problem: root URI not initialized in Zotero.Sync.Storage.Session.ZFS.rootURI

vinko
Hi there,
I'm experiencing a problem with the syncing to a webDAV folder on my site. I put all the info needed into Zotero settings and the server is correctly verified: the first time it did also create the folder for the library on my webDAV folder. But when I start the syncing it gives me this error:"Root URI not initialized in Zotero.Sync.Storage.Session.ZFS.rootURI". If I press on the Sync button again, the progress bar appears, but it is stuck and no file is uploaded on the server even if I wait for quite a long.
Anybody knows why does this happen and how can I overcome the problem?
Thanks

    That's a strange error. Have you restarted Firefox (and, if this is Windows, your computer)?

    Do you have Zotero file syncing enabled for group library syncing?

    Yes, I have restarted Firefox many times, also disabling a few add-ons which might interfere with the syncing process. I did not restart Windows Vista and Zotero file syncing was not enabled for group library syncing.
    Today, I tried again (in the meanwhile my Firefox was updated to version 3.6.11, Zotero is 2.09) and it gives me no error, but the syncing arrow keeps spinning and spinning (OK, I have a big library). In the Zotero folder on the webDAV server now I can see some .prop and .zip files. Is that OK? Should I just wait the arrow to stop spinning around?

    OK, thank you, it's solved. Now I see the progress bar and the number of files already synced. So I don't know if the error was due to Firefox 3.6.10 or to the fact that I didn't restart Windows.
