Talk:Using the Mozilla symbol server

From MDC

Symbols for 2.0.0.8 are now live:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox>c:\progra~1\debugg~1\symchk.exe /r c:\progra~1\mozill~1\* /s SRV*c:\symbols\*http://symbols.mozilla.org/firefox
SYMCHK: fullsoft.dll         FAILED  - Image is split correctly, but fullsoft.dbg is missing
SYMCHK: qfaservices.dll      FAILED  - qfaservices.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: talkback.exe         FAILED  - Built without debugging information.
SYMCHK: helper.exe           FAILED  - Built without debugging information.

SYMCHK: FAILED files = 4
SYMCHK: PASSED + IGNORED files = 179

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox>

Big shoutout to Mats Palmgren for putting in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401094 and Nick Thomas for resolving it.

See the History of this Talk page for what a failed symbol download looks like.

Question: with windbg, if I use a local path like is listed in this example, with a trailing "\", it doesn't work, but removing it works. Is this a typo?
