Content Server Installed but doesnt respond

Hi,
    I have installed the Content server on Win2K3 as given in the installation guide.I have installed for file storage on the file system.
    After installation i got the message that everything is ok.But then when i execute the command
http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo
    I get the response as page cannot be displayed.I want to use the content server for DMS storage so that i can use KPro instead of the vault.
    Same thing when i do
http://<server>:<port>/
    I get a pop-up asking for the user-name and password but when i give the user name as administrator and password it doesnt allow access.
    Please advise
Regards

Note Number : 361123
Symptom
You want the SAP Content server to work properly.
Other terms
Signed URLs, AdminSecurity, SsfVerify failed
Reason and Prerequisites
The SAP Content Server was installed in accordance with the installation guide. For new installations, we recommend that you use the latest released version of the SAP Content Server, regardless of the SAP System release to which the SAP Content Server is connected.
Solution
This note provides additional information on different aspects of security when using the SAP Content Server.
Security against data loss
•     The SAP server content stores the contents of the confidential document either in an SAP-DB instance or in the file system. To avoid data loss, the usual measures for databases and file systems are taken. These are only mentioned briefly here: Redundant hardware (mirror disks, raid systems and so on), regular backup (log files, backup). When you back-up the Content Server, note that you also have to save the ContentServer.ini configuration file as well as the Security directory in addition to backing up the database instance or the directories of the file system used for document content.
•     Note 319332 describes backup strategies for a Content Server with database folders.
•     SAP does not have a tool for backing up file system folders. In this case it is the responsibility of the customer to select and convert the backup strategy. Here you should note that, for a complete and consistent backup of a file system folder, it may be necessary to shut down the Content Server for the duration of the backup.
Security against unauthorized accesses on filed contents
•     Before you access the content server, an authorization check usually occurs in the SAP system. However, the content server is usually accessed using a disclosed HTTP log. To make sure that only authorized accesses are possible, 'signed URLs' must be used. Signed URLs are URLs that were signed by the SAP system. You can recognize signed URLs because they are considerably longer than unsigned URLs and contain additional parameters. The signed URL, in particular, contains the additional parameters expiration (expiry time) and secKey (digital signature). A signed URL is only valid if the expiry time has not yet been exceeded and if it contains a valid signature. In order that the signature can be checked by the content server, the public key (certificate) of the SAP system must be stored on the content server and tagged for the corresponding repository. Transactions OAHT, OAC0 (as of 4.6C) and CSADMIN (as of 4.6C for SAP content server) are used to transfer the certificate. The certificate must be activated on the content server for the repository. Use CSADMIN to do this (for SAP Content server).
•     In order that the digital signature of the SAP system can be used properly, EVERY SAP system must have its own unique certificate. To ensure this, a 'PSE' must be generated once in every SAP system after this SAP system is developed. Use transaction PSEMAINT to do this (note 354819).
•     To protect the connection between the Content Server and its SAP-DB instance, the name and password of the database user can be changed and stored in encrypted format in the configuration of the content server. For details, see note 661852.
Access control for the administration
•     The content server is partly administered from within the SAP system, and partly from outside it. When it is administered from outside, you must ensure that only authorized persons have (administrative) access to the server on which the content server is running. The (administrative) access to the database (note 212394) must be restricted accordingly.
•     In order that administrative accesses from the SAP system are only possible for authorized persons, the parameter AdminSecurity must be set to 1 in the content server. You will find details on this in the installation documentation of the SAP Content Server.
Protection against server hardware outage
•     The Windows version of the SAP Content Server can also be installed in an MSCS environment (Microsoft Cluster Server). For more detailed information, see "SAP Content Server 6.20 in an MSCS Environment", dated March 4, 2003, in the "News" section on the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/ha
•     The duration of the non-availability of content servers, cache servers and alias servers can be reduced with the automated operator intervention described in note 484459.

    Hi Murali,
    Follow two NOTES 212394 & 661852
    or
    Ensure that PSE (Personal Security Environment) is created directly on SAP system after the system is installed, this is one time activity.
    To do this you use T Code "STRUST". You can check with your Senior Basis guy for more.
    By default the system's PSE is used to sign URLs. from SAP WAS you can also create your own PSE to sign Kpro URLs

  • Flash player saying installed but doesnt work

    i have a toshiba laptop with internet explorer 6 and its an
    xp machine
    basically some websites that need flash redirect me to the
    adobe flash player site and i click install and it installs.
    then an animation plays when its successfully installed
    but then when i go back to the website that requires
    flash...flash doesnt work!
    im going crazzy now cos no-one knows what to do.
    any suggestions. any???? xx

    Well, first of all you might want to get IE7. Just go to
    filehippo.com. In any case, go to start>control
    panel>internet options. Go to the security tab and set the
    internet zone to default>apply. Then go to the privacy tab and
    click on sites. Make sure the website is allowed to set cookies.
    Then set the cookie slider to medium or medium-high. This internet
    options screen is different for IE6 and IE7, so your buttons may
    vary slightly from mine since I have IE7. Really, IE7 is better in
    my opinion and your favorites will carry over.

  • Unable to resolve Apache-Tomcat after 5.0.2 Upgrade / Content Server Install

    I recently upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2. With 5.0.1, I was able to resolve to http://<apache-tomcat.domain.com>:8080 as well as http://<apache-tomcat.domain.com>:8080/ptcsand http://<apache-tomcat.domain.com>:8080/ptcs/diagnosticsTest.jsp.

  • Printer installed but not responding to print jobs

    I'm not quite sure how to intelligently ask this question so let me describe what happened.
    I have a friend who asked for help in troubleshooting a problem with his printer.  His printer is a brand new HP Officejet 6600 sitting near his computer and is on his wifi network.  He can not print to it wirelessly from his iMac running Lion, but his wife can print wirelessly to it from another room on her iMac.  He can print using USB, though, but he prefers wireless because of the wiring situation in this room.  Plus, he bought for wireless printing.
    When I got there I checked his System Preferences:Print & Fax and confirmed that his printer was installed and had the green idle light showing ready for a print job.  I tried to print and everything looked normal and showed that the job was sent to the printer and was 100% completed but the printer never responded.  I tried it from his wife's computer and confirmed that she was able to print a page with no problem.  I brought my MBP and joined his wifi network and added his printer and was also able to print.
    So, I tried some basic troubleshooting steps trying to print after each one, and nothing worked.  I deleted and re-installed his printer, repaired permissions, restarted in Safe Boot, tried printing in a second user account, Reset printing system..., deleted all com.apple.print... preferences,  installed Onyx and ran the System Cleaning routines,  powered down/up the router/computer/printer, reset the wifi on the printer and rejoined his network, and probably a few other things I can't remember right now.
    After doing all of this and throwing up my hands I tried to print again from my MBP to prove that I still could, and this time was not able to print.  It kept trying to send the job but the printer never responded.  His wife's iMac was still able to print, however.  This got me frustrated and I decided to ask this forum for help.
    Oh, and here's some more information.  His wife has a printer next to her computer, an HP Officejet something (I forget, not 6600, though).  His iMac is able to print over wifi to this printer with no problem.  What the...?
    What other things can I try? Does this point to something in the printer such as a bad wifi card, or something?  Any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    LilyLC, hold on to your chair you will not believe what happened today.  Bear with me while I give you all the details but you will want to read the entire story.
    First, to answer your question in the first paragraph of that last post, his wife's printer is connected to his wifi and is using the driver installed by Apple and has been updated on the same date as his computer that I gave earlier.  She can print to her printer and so can he.  After the troubleshooting steps I have taken and took today I agree with your assessment about an intermittent issue with the printer, too, but let me tell you what I did today.
    Before going to his house I decided to set up a second wifi LAN at his house using my router to check if his Airport Extreme (I incorrectly thought initially it was an Airport Express) router was the problem.  The thinking being that I have checked his printer and computer and nothing I have tried is making a difference, so the only thing left is his router.  So, I set up my router and joined his computer, printer, and my MBP, to the wifi and tried to print from both computers.  The printer still was NOT working!  That was a big disappointment since I just knew that was going to work.  I guess that eliminates the router.  I reconfigured his computer back to his wifi and proceeded to the next step.
    I hadn't installed the drivers from the website you gave me earlier since I saw in Software Updates that he had updated to that same driver set already.  Now I got to thinking that maybe those files were corrupted somehow so I downloaded the drivers from the website you gave me and installed.  Deleted drivers from Print & Scan pane and installed the newly downloaded driver, tried to print, and that failed, too.
    Next I tried your suggestion of using the LPD protocol instead of the HP JetDirect and that setup failed for some reason.  I reconfigured using the HP JetDirect, and that worked for printing, as before, but the scan function was not available, as before.
    I was getting a little pressed for time today and had time to try one more thing, so I decided to forgo the new Location setup until tomorrow and instead chose to plug his printer directly into the Airport Extreme via USB and see what happened.  I deleted the IP driver and clicked the + to add the installed driver and was presented with an HP Officejet 6600 on the top line and lower down under "Nearby Printers" found an HP Officejet 6600 series [XXXXXX] and under that HP Officejet 6600 Fax.
    I chose the first driver and installed and tried to print and was successful.  However, the scan function was not available.  So I deleted that driver and chose the second one.  I noticed immediately that the scan function was available.  Thinking I might have something I tried to print and was unsuccessful.  Mmm...printing works with the first driver but not the second and scan works for the second but not the first.  What's with THAT? 
    This was really getting frustrating by this time and after much discussion with him I told him I thought the printer was the device at fault.  For some reason his printer just did not like his network.  I tried printing to his wife's computer and that worked great.  No problem there.  But for some reason his printer did not like his network and refused to work by setting up manually.
    I recommended that he bring the printer back and exchange it for another printer.  He agreed and immediately boxed it up and left for the store.  I returned home to more friendlier surroundings.
    Here's where it gets interesting, and it helps to know that my friend is in his mid-eighties.  About an hour later he calls and tells me he's sitting in the parking lot of Office Depot.  He tells me that when he was in the store discussing with Customer Service about an exchange it dawned on him out of the blue that he DIDN'T NEED TWO PRINTERS!!  He said that if he could print to his wife's computer today then he could print to it from now on.  I was speechless!!!  I told him I asked him at the beginning of all this why he had to have two printers, and at that time he said "trust me, we need two printers".  Ok.  He tells me he has no idea why he didn't realize that wifi worked differently than cable.  He thinks that maybe since his older two printers were each connected to his and his wife's computer these newer computers operated the same way too.  But he admits to me that he was the one who set the printers up on his wifi network, so why he didn't realize that only one printer was necessary with wifi he didn't know.  He was embarrassed.  He admitted to me that technology is very difficult for him to understand.  No kidding!!!
    I didn't need to remind him how much time had been spent on this problem because he was quick to apologize and was very sorry for taking up so much of my time, and he really appreciated the effort.  I told him I didn't mind.
    And I really didn't, because I learned so much from this experience by following your suggestions, LilyLC.  I never knew how to set up a printer using its IP address, and the protocols to use, and I never knew how to add new Locations in the Network pane and why it might be useful.  You also got me to considering other troubleshooting ideas I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.  So maybe my friend and I aren't that different after all.
    I really appreciate all the suggestions, links, and ideas you offered during this effort, LilyLC.  I wish I could have determined the cause of the problem but, not knowing the inner workings of these devices, I can only assume that it had to have been the printer.
    I bet I get a call from my friend a week from now saying that he just bought a second printer for his room because his knees can't take the walking from his room to his wife's room to get all of his printouts.  All I can say is THAT printer better work.
    Thanks again, LilyLC, for all your time and help.  It was really appreciated!

  • HT201272 i downloaded a free app and then deleted it  it is in the app store when i click on it it says open and tap again it goes to another screen tap on it it changes from free to install but doesnt do anything

    i installed a free app and then deleted the app. under apps the app is still listed and says open, but when i tap on that it goes to another screen and when i tap on open it changes to free when i tap free it changes to light green install and tap again goes to all green install and what do i do then do not see anything to click on to make it install. what am i doing wrong. this is for a iphone 5s

    The 'open' indicated that the App Store though that it was still installed on your phone.
    Have you tried closing the App Store app via the phone's multitasking bar and seeing if you can install it after the phone has restarted ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar. You should be able to redownload the app by tapping on the cloud icon next to it in the Purchased tab in the App Store app
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Curve 8900 rollerball​, moves but doesnt respond!

    I was out in the rain today (for a very short time) with my phone in my coat pocket.  When I got indoors I noticed water on the casing.  I quickly dried it off, took battery out etc to dry it but there was no water in there.
    My rollerball is not responding now AAGGHH! Can I just state that it rolls fine, isnt getting stuck at all, it just isnt responding at all.  All the answers Ive looked at on the internet seem to be rollerballs that are stuck up with dirt.  Mine doesnt ,it rolls just as normal. 
    I thought I better mention the rain thing but I honestly dont think any rain got in the phone.
    I was gonna take rollerball out but you need to take phone apart and i dont have right tool.
    Ive just actually popped the little black rubber ball out of its socket, cleaned it and blew into the hole.
    Ive also tried removing battery etc.
    My phone is well out of warranty now.
    I love my BB please help!!!

    Turn off the modem then turn it back on after 10 seconds, let your phone reconnect to it. Its kinda weird for your phone not to have any saved networks. Have you deleted them?

  • Adobe captivate installed but doesnt gets open it hangs

    I installed trial version Adobe Captivate 8 on my machine but the application doesn't opens it continuously loading.

    Hi There,
    It seems that issue you were facing is due to fonts installed on your machine.
    Can  you  try  to  take  the  backup  of  the  fonts  installed  on  your  machine  by  copying  all  the  fonts  and  save  on  your  desktop  in  a  folder .
    Once  you  take  the  backup  then try  to  delete  the  fonts that  you  can  from  its  original  location  under  C  drive and  restart  Captivate  8  and  see  if  that  makes  any  difference .   
    Note- Let me know if you are using Mac OS as fonts location will be different.

  • 2nd hand iMac osx wired keyboard responds but doesnt type stuck at registration screen Help!?

    So i just brought this iMac second hand its fairly new and it has osx  not sure what version, wired keybaord and mouse, mouse is plugged into keybaord and works, keybaord works and makes noises but doesnt respond and type the letters, volume and brightness are the only things that work on it, im currently stuck on the registration screen and can't go any further. I tried plugging in my other keybaord from this pc and it just sat on the identifying keybaord screen. has this happened to any one else?? and can anyone help me if its a software issue or is there a way to format an imac with a secret button or something haha.. this is my first mac and want to use it as a studio computer for recording music so im clueless about them cheers any help would be sick

    Is it asking you to identify the keyboard? If so it is asking you to press the key that is right next to the shift key. Press the up key and it should continue. A pc keyboard should work with out issue. If you have to reboot thats ok to the setup assistant should restart.
    It sounds like the mac keyboard has some issues.

  • Content Server connection problems

    SAP Content Server connection problems
    I have installed the SAP Content Server on a Windows 2003 server. I connected to the Max DB on the remote server from Database Manager on my PC. I created repositories in R/3 in OAC0 and CSADMIN and saved documents to the Content Server. This all took a few hours from O/S install to saving a document in the repository, so I do understand the basics of the Content Server and Max DB.
    Unfortunately we are not going to use Windows; we will be running this on UNIX. Therefore I'm trying it out on a Linux system while I wait for the AIX system to be available. It's been a long road but I have finally gotten the install to finish 'successfully' however I can't connect from R/3.
    When I run the check http://10.XXX.YYY.ZZZ:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo from the browser on the Linux host I get back a good status as shown below:
    serverType="SAP HTTP Content Server";serverVendorId="SAP AG";serverVersion="640";serverPatch="0";serverBuild="16";pVersion="0046";serverStatus="running";serverDate="2008-03-25";serverTime="22:39:45";startUpDate="2008-03-25";startUpTime="22:32:21";lastAccessDate="2008-03-25";lastAccessTime="22:38:33";
    However when I do this from any my PC it won't connect. (Of course the real problem is I can't connect from R/3.)
    If I try the same URL from a different user session on the same Content Server Linux host I get the same good status.
    I thought maybe the httpd.conf file was wrong so I tried:
    Listen 0.0.0.0:1090
    In cs.conf I tried commenting out AdminSecurity & AdminSecurityGroup.
    I also changed StorageDriver from SAPDBStorage to FSStorage.
    I don't know if this is related or just another problem to tackle once I can get through this one. I was not able to add the new system to the Database Manager. I get the error "-4 could not connect to socket [10060]".
    Thanks to all for any help. Points will dutifully be rewarded.

    Hi Henk,
    It looks like I am dumber than a rock. The firewall was indeed active on the Linux host. I turned it off and can now do the http connection test to the Content Server. (I awarded very helpful points.)
    I still can't connect to the database with the Database Manager however the message has changed; it now says "-4 XSERVER might be inactive". I just turned off the firewall so I have a few things to try, like figure out how to start MaxDB without the DB Manager. I'll post my progress. Thanks Henk.

    Now I have installed the Database Studion on my PC. No I'm getting this message when I try to connect to the host/database on the Linux system: "Cannot connect to host 10.XXX.XXX.XXX:7210 [Connection refused: connect], -813."
    Does MaxDB need to be started to connect? Any idea how to start it manually? Thanks,
    David

    Ah, at long last. There's this tiny yet very important little program called x_server that SAP didn't include in the SAP Content Server install guide. This needs to be running in order for anything to connect. I'm sure most of you know about it but for the rest you can find it in:
    /sapdb/programs/bin
    Then type
    ./x_server start
    I'm not sure what user it should run under but I started it as the sdb user.
    You could automate the database startup with a script. See http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/e9/005dac1592496783e26133eb7fad0b/frameset.htm
    Thank you Henk, I'll call this problem solved and award points.
