J2ee connection error, "The Message Server did not respond within 60 sec"

Hi,
I am facing the error "The Message Server did not respond within 60 sec. Please check if the message server is running.." when connecting to J2ee through NWDS.
I am able to reach the index page via http://<ip address>:53500/index.html but yet unable to reach through NWDS.
I have tried various combinations of host and port names like:
Message Server Host : <ip address>, <host name>
Message Server Port : 3636, 3936
but still no luck.
I've also cross checked the value of message server port by navigating to http://<IP address>:53500/monitoring/SystemInfo too, it is 3636.
The telnet test (telnet <ip address> <port Number>) draws a blank window.
I know this problem has been posted again and again, but then I am unable to understand what is the solution to this.
Can someone please help me in resolving this issue?
Note: [link 1|Unable to Connect to the J2EE Server from Netweaver Developer Studio; & [link 2|Developer Studio:Exception:The message server did not respond within 60 sec; are already checked.

Hi Robin,
Although I still haven't received any info from my colleagues regarding the central instance..
Just a quick query, if we have NW04 we use 36** and if it is NW04S then we use 39** , is this the only difference for message server port?
If that is the case, as I mentioned earlier, I have tried both, and one gave me N/A(3936) while the other gave me 'message server did not respond' error(3636).
I have the message server host name & port , Enqueue Server Host name & Port and SDM PID and Port details with me..
Can this be anyway useful in establishing a connection?
Waiting for your inputs...
Best Regards,
Vinay

Folks,
I am getting this error in Developer Studio ( J2EE Engine Preference) , Can anyone please tell me what is the issue.

If the system information page is showing 3900, you should use 3900 in your studio settings.
39xx is the new default for 2004s. It was 36xx with 2004. And xx is the instance number.

Hi,
I think the connection data is somehow not right.
What is your message server host and port being configured?
I think the default message server port is 3601

Exception:The messege server did not respond within 60 sec.

When I am deploying my application it is aborted and displaying the Error as
'Deployment exception : Cannot determine sdm host (is empty). Please configure your engine/sdm correctly !'
In Preferences >> SAP J2EE Engine I have specified a messege server host and its port.
When I go to the Perspective J2EE Engine there I can see an error i.e.
'Exception:The messege server did not respond within 60 sec.Please check if the messege server is running and if the socket connection is established'

The remote server did not respond to a connection attempt

I have two Exchange 2003 servers: Old and New. Emails from the new server can go out however, users on the new server cannot receive emails from the old or the internet.
I get the following error:'....remote server did not respond to a connection attempt....'
All emails are stuck in newserver.domain.com.

Hi KimaniBob,
Since Exchange 2003 is a very old Exchange version, we have not supported for Exchange 2003. It is recommended to upgrade your Exchange server to Exchange 2010. Your understanding will be appreciated.

Error: Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.

Hello,
In last few months, I began getting the error:
The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.
My system hangs and slows to a crawl. Error seems to be well-known, and solution is to install the latest version of Intel Matrix Manager, which is 8.6. I've done this, I reinstalled my OS, and I've reinitialized my hard Raid1 array. None of this has helped.
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/cs-025783.htm
Any suggestions?
Thx.
Scott

Have you tested HDD's with Seagate diagnostic utility?
Going by the link you have provided I assume you are using Vista?
Yes, I am using Vista and I did also use Sea Tools; no issue identified. I'd love to hear more suggestions. Things I've done:
1. Reformat / reinstall. Helped, but problem not eliminated.
2. Ran SeaTools Disk Diagnostic. No issue.
3. Installed Intel Matrix STorage, most recent version 8.6. Should've fix prob, but didn't.
4. Upgraded Bios from 7.5 to 7.9.
Seems like the upgrade to Intel Matrix Storage Manager should've fixed this issue, but it didn't. Any particular drive identified in the error message in the original post?
It is also not clear what changed to have introduced this error. My system has been stable for 2 years and from the errors looks like I've had problems for the last 3 months, but they got notably worse in the last 2 weeks. Reformatting / reinstall helped, but didn't eliminate these issues. Any insight would be appreciated.

A remote server did not respond within timeout period

HI
I have a opened in servlet which is not closed.My servlet uses it for various checks.When a request comes after long time, my servlet tries to make a database call and that time I am getting following error.
java.sql.SQLException:IO Exception A remote host did not respond within the timeout period.
Please guide.
Thanks in advance.

I am using the same connection again.
The db server is up and running and the query fetches hardly any data.
when i stop and restart the servlet, everything becomes normal.

The enrollment server did not provision a valid identity certificate

I'm working on rolling my own MDM service, and I'm trying to combine the SCEP and MDM payloads as the MDM protocol document from Apple suggests. I created my own SCEP web service in C# .Net and I know that the device can get a valid certificate when I just send the SCEP payload. However when I also include an MDM payload that points to the SCEP payload's UUID via the IdentityCertificateUUID key, I get the following error, "The enrollment server did not provision a valid identity certificate." This configuration is the one that is sent after the user chooses to install the initial enrollment configuration (step 1 of phase 2 in this diagram).
The device doesn't appear to even make an attempt at connecting to my server, and thanks to server side logging I know that it never reaches my SCEP web service page. This seems to indicate that there's something wrong with the certificate I use to sign the payload. I've separately tried signing it with my SSL certificate (from a pre trusted root authority), my customer MDM push certificate (chained from our vendor cert), and my self-signed root certificate authority certificate (created via makecert.exe) that the SCEP service uses to issue new certificates (i.e. device identity certificates).
I've looked at the output from the iPCU (iPhone Configuration Utility) when I create a profile with both the MDM and SCEP payloads, and it isn't a valid profile (I've even tried copying it nearly wholesale). However when I install the profile via the iPCU the error doesn't come up and it begins the SCEP enrollment process without issue.
A side note - using a preexisting MDM vendor is not an option here.
Below is the profile I'm using:

I got in touch with Apple about this.
Apparently you want to send the combined MDM & SCEP payload in step 2 of phase 3 of the diagram I linked in my question, which is the profile that's sent after OTA enrollment. According to Apple you need two separate certificates (which means two SCEP enrollments) - one for OTA enrollment, and one for MDM enrollment.

The WebLogic Server did not start up properly.

Hi Everybody,
I am quite new in BEA product, actually with weblogic integration. I get an issue when I tried to start Weblogic integration.
I used Weblogic integration 8.5 on my Windows box and JDK 1.4.
When I tried to start it I get the folowing error:

Do you have some idea why I get this error while starting the server?
Thank you in advance!

First you can start witht he example server, after installation go to start menu --> example--> launch the examples. which will create a sample domain and brings up the server etc., If you want your own domain, using configuration wizard create a domain(follow the steps mentioned in edocs.bea.com) and bring up the server.

OS X Server / VPN /The L2TP-VPN server did not respond...HELP!

I am very new to OS X Server and my goal is to setup DNS & VPN! I would like to have this setup to be able to connect into my apple computer from work or friends house. I am using an Apple Airport Extreme router and im also using the latest version OS X Mountain Lion with OS X Server installed. I have started an account with dyndns website for user host name (using a [email protected] address). I assume this would be used as an alternate way of being able to connect without starting a personal website. I also signed up for another site (no-ip) and I now have a different IP address (not sure if that was necessary). I then followed instructions on youtube (instructional videos by todd for OS X Server Mountain Lion) which seemed to be very easy to understand. But after setting up my VPN on the client side (network setting in system preferences), i tried to connect VPN (L2TP) and i receive this error message "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator.". When I open Consol in the utilities folder, I am seeing part of the following message below;
racoon[117]: IKE Packet: transmit success. (Phase1 Retransmit).
racoon[117]: IKE Packet: receive failed. (malformed or unexpected cookie).
pppd[490]: IPSec connection failed
Does anyone know what's happening or what I need to do to fix this? Or can someone tell me the basic requirements to setting things up correctly?

Im using Comcast for my ISP and from the wall I have a Motorola Surfboard 6120 cable modem (not sure how to access my setting on the modem). So basically I have my 6120 cable modem connected to the Apple AirportExtreme router and is then wirelessly connected to my macbook pro. im providing screen shots of my apple router settings, OS X Server settings and firewall (which is turned off) settings. Any suggestion on how i should set things up or if you can tell me step by step would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Vivek,
In Reporting Services, values for LogonUser, LogonDomain, and LogonCred are created when the report server connection is configured to use a domain account. As to the error that “The encrypted value for the "LogonCred" configuration setting cannot be decrypted”,
we can know that it relates to the domain account for report server connection.
To fix this issue, we can refer to the following steps:
Log in to SQL Server Database Engine in SQL Server Management Studio.
Under Security folder, give sufficient permissions for your domain account.
Open your Reporting Services Configuration (go to Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools -> Reporting Services Configuration)
Navigate to the Database Setup tab, select ‘Service Credentials’ as the Credentials Type, then type your domain account and password in there. Press Apply.
Restart the Report Server services.

Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Firewall: Error sending to the socket, server is not responding.

Hi all,
I'm trying to connect AIX machine to NT DB2 Database through JDBC with a firewall. I'm using the standard port 6789 in JDBC Applet Server in NT DB2. But I've gotten the following message:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][JDBC Driver] CLI0614E Error sending to the socket, server is not responding. SQLSTATE=08S01
The connection chain I'm using for AIX side is:
jdbc:db2://192.168.3.4:6789/DATABASE
I've configured the firewal to allow the port 6789 to be used, and also the other port 51544 (it's for remote administration, I think). I've also checked that wires and other stuff is working fine, but stil I cannot connect to the Database.
I don't know if there's something missing on the firewall configuration. Before, everything was working without the firewall.
Any help will be apreciated, THanks.

It looks like no port problem is happening, because we freed all the ports just to see if client tried to use some of them without our knowing. But it was still the same.
We were thinking about routing issues, but we were able to ping from client to server, and ports 6789 and 51544 were open as well. Maybe JDBC Client Driver is looking for an different IP address than 192.168.3.4. We know the firewall doesn't receive any query from JDBC Client, and that's very strange because if you see the routing tables in AIX machine, the default route is the firewall. Of course, there's not any other static defined route for the server (192.168.3.4), so it's supposed that default route is going to be used. But it's not.
We also restarted client machine from scratch but nothing. Maybe this problem happens because there's something wrong in AIX networking settings.

VPN Problems - The L2TP-VPN server did not respond

Okay, so I read quite a few threads about this and can't really figure it out. Would be great if I can get some handholding.
I'm a complete newbie, trying to set up Server for home use. The VPN service seems to be running fine, but I just can't connect from the clients, it just keeps saying "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond". Here is a glimpse at my settings:
- I have opened up all the relevant ports for UDP (500,1701,4500) and TCP (1723). But this is only required for the Server, right?
- I don't have a domain name yet so just using my external IP. This is what I put in under VPN Host name in the Server and Client settings.
- I login with username and password credentials for one of my network users as created in the Server. Format is [email protected] and the password is the same as the login password.
** I seem to get a 'authentication failed' error if I just use my local IP address... Not sure whats happening their, but before that I need to be able to connect to Server with the external IP!
Am I missing something? Why won't my client connect and that too when I'm at home?

To run a public VPN server behind an NAT gateway, you need to do the following:
1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network, and a hostname that is not in the top-level domain "local" (which is reserved for Bonjour.)
3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
If your router is an Apple device, select the Network tab in AirPort Utility and click Network Options. In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
Allow incoming IPSec authentication
if it's not already checked, and save the change.
With a third-party router, there may be a similar setting.
4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.
5. Each client must have an address on a netblock that doesn't overlap the one assigned by the VPN endpoint. For example, if the endpoint assigns addresses in the 10.0.0.0/24 range, and the client has an address on a local network in the 10.0.1.0/24 range, that's OK, but if the local network is 10.0.1.0/16, there will be a conflict. To lessen the chance of such conflicts, it's best to assign addresses in a random sub-block of 10.0.0.0./0 with a 24-bit netmask.
6. "Back to My Mac" on the server is incompatible with the VPN service.
If the server is directly connected to the Internet, see this blog post.

"The L2TP-VPN server did not respond"

I just bought an Airport extreme base station, and installed lion server, and configured it for VPN. I have checked all my settings and even looked using AirPort utility. I have tried connecting to my VPN from 2 different Macs and an iPad, and all yield the same error:"The L2TP-VPN server did not respond". When I look at my vpnd.log it is pretty bare:
2011-08-31 18:27:34 EDT Loading plugin /System/Library/Extensions/L2TP.ppp
2011-08-31 18:27:38 EDT Listening for connections...
it looks like the VPN connection requests aren't making it from the airport to the server. Any ideas

FWIW, my Lion Server VPN issue has been solved...
