When I use my own Sync Server, the sync setup always say invalid URL
I follow the instructions on
https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync.html
and have running my own sync server.
After that I wanted to setup my FF 17.0.1 on gentoo to sync to MY Server but I always get 'Invalid URL'.
I started the tcpdump on the listening port and haven't seen any request on the server.
I have used the following user tester@tester.com and the sync setup-tool told me that this user-id is already used, due to this fact I assume that ff-sync does not ask MY Server.
Please can you help me to solve this issue. Thanks

Make sure you have http(s):// at the start of the URL.
Did you try to enable sync logging and check that log (about:sync-log) for errors?
I have tried:
http://domain.name:port/ http://ip.address:port/ https://domain.name:port/ https://ip.address:port/
none of them works
There is no sync-log due to the fact that ff does not connect to the server.
I have make a tcpdump on the server on the listening port of the sync server.
Is there realy no way to tell firefox 17 that I have a own sync server?
Maybe try to contact the devs via IRC.
Apparently Firefox's internal network layer doesn't like port 6000. Try another port, and I'll file a bug for that.
