Refreshing Connection Error at Welcome

Hello all,
Rebuilding the Xserve with 10.6 server.
The problem - The server is showing a solid amber light on the front panel where the ! button is. Once the installation of the server software has completed, and the machine restarts it pauses at the Welcome screen during setup. Both buttons 'Go Back' and 'Continue' are greyed out, and 'Configuring defaults' spins in the bottom left of the window. After some time a window pops up stating the following:
An error occurred while performing the following actions on the server: Refreshing connection / A network error occurred.
It won't let me proceed with setup.
Details - Network infrastructure wise nothing has changed, this all worked ok last week. I'm able to remote into the server from another Mac via VNC, so it is getting assigned an IP etc. If I boot from the install disk and run the utilities everything is reporting back as being ok in each utility. I'm unable to find any other info about this error... does any one have a solution/experience?

For future reference...
Left the server running in this state over night - no better by the morning.
Turned it off and unplugged the power for a couple of hours, came back to it, plugged it all back in and turned it on - appears everything is now working correctly.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Network connection error message in EWS

    I just got an Officejet Pro 8600 Premium.  The printer is connected to the network via a network cable.  When navigating through the EWS, sometimes the message "Network connection error.  Check network and try again." message is shown (the message could appear in various pages, such as Settings, Tools, etc.).  Refreshing the page should get rid of the message. 
    At first, I suspected if it was a problem with the network. So I pinged the printer's ip address continuously.  It did not miss a single beat.  The printer prints and scans well via the network.  So I think the error may be caused by something inside of the print, such as bug of EWS software, or internal error. 
    Anyone see the same message during the use?  Any suggestion?  Does it indicate there is hardware problem with the printer?  Thanks.

    HP Support has escalated the case.  I referred this thread in the support request.  Hopefully, they can have a look at the issue.
    For me, the only setting does not stick is "Use the same time zone set on this computer" in Settings\Date & Time.  I've created another ticket for this issue.  8500A has the same problem.
    You can try to restart the EWS.  Unplug the power cord while the printer is on.  Then wait 15 sec and reconnect the power cord.  Press the power button if the printer does not turn on by itself.
    If you would like to reset to the printer and reconfigure from scratch, you can check here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/How-to-reset-Officejet-Pro-8600-Plus-P...

  • HP Photosmart 6520 Server Connection Error: -1: Apps don't work and Scan to email doesn't work

    My HP PhotoSmart 6520 has a persistent error to connect to the server and therefore Apps and Scan to email doesn't work.
    I have manually set DNS to 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, I have installed latest driver on my Macbook pro, I have updated firmware, but still not working. Weird is also that in my ePrintCenter, the Apps I see there are not in line with thos visible on the printer.
    Detail is that I have set up the printer on a Windows PC but recently changed to Mac.
    Printing, scan to Computer all works fine.
    Help! I have read a lot on forums but so far no solution for me!

    Hi Jack6520,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you are unable to connect to the apps and use the scan to email feature of your Photosmart 6520 printer due to a server connection error.
    First off, thank you for the very detailed information, I really appreciate it.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
    When you set the manual DNS servers, did you also set a manual IP address for the printer?
    Have you changed routers or internet service providers recently?  Have you updated the firmware on the router? If you have an ISP-provided router, do you know if they pushed out a firmware update?
    Have you recently installed any new anti-virus/malware software?  If so it may have blocked the ports the printer uses to communicate.  I’ve included a post by VisionAiry titled “Check the Anti-Virus for Blocked Ports and Timed Scans”. 
    Do you have a guest network setup? Please Print a Network Configuration page. It will let you know how many networks the printer sees. A guest network will have the same name as your network with a tag about it being the guest network.
    Previously did you customize the printer’s ePrint email address? I’m asking this because I might ask you to disable then enable the web services.  If we have to take this step you will lose the customized ePrint email address without any ability to get it back.
    What version of Mac OS X are you using? whatsmyos.com
    Are there any cables other than the power cable connected to the printer?
    Thank you.

  • Database Connection error in Crystal Reports using SAP BW system

    Hi,
    While using Crystal Reports in trying to build a report on the SAP Query in SAP/BW System using the MDX driver, I am able to get the structure of the query fields into the report but on the other hand while trying to refresh the report for data I am getting the error message u201C Failed to connect to the databaseu201D . This database  connection error occurs despite the fact that the SAP server authentication details being entered on Refreshing the report is correct.
    What could be the possible reason? Any guess...
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Yes, I am using the MDX driver. 
    Is there any pre-requisites of importing certain ABAP transports into SAP Server since I haven't done any? Please  recommend.

  • SpamAssassin / Amavisd tuning - TCP active open: Failed connect() errors

    I started this post as we were experiencing a problem with occassional delayed mail delivery to our mail store. As I continued writing it, I think that I've resolved it. But I wanted to post this anyway so if I'm doing things right it might help someone else; or, if I'm doing something wrong someone can correct me. :) For reference, we have a quad Sun v440, and process about 500,000 messages a day.
    We were seeing messages like this in our log files:
    09-Nov-2006 08:28:09.37 tcp_scan Q 1 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] @tcp_scan-daemon:[email protected] TCP active open: Failed connect() Error: Connection timed out
    example.com represents our local domain. The errors seemed to occur proportionally to the amount of incoming mail we received. That is, we saw more of them under load.
    We are running SpamAssassin, Amavisd/clamav, and:
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-5.01 (built Nov 22 2005)
    libimta.so 6.2-5.01 (built 11:57:57, Nov 22 2005)
    SunOS hostname 5.9 Generic_118558-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
    This line seems to say that the message is in the tcp_scan channel, and cannot send to 127.0.0.1:10024 (amavisd) because that port isn't listening.
    My amavisd max_servers was set at 15. After reading http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-magdeburg-20050519.pdf and making a wild guess, I increased it to 30. The errors were less frequent, but still occurred.
    The output of 'sar -d' showed that my local disk was experiencing upwards of 80% utilization. I moved the amavisd temp directory and the spamassassin bayes db to a san volume, and that sped everything up dramatically. The connect errors went away, clamav avg time per message is at 4 seconds down from 10. I am now receiving errors from spamassassin that say:
    Nov 9 10:27:27 hostname.example.com spamd[21601]: prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it
    My --max-children is set to 25 right now, and the server is cpu bound under heavy load, so I see no reason to raise it.
    So this is my setup. I am no longer having an immediate problem, but comments/questions are welcome.

    Suggest dropping Amavis in preference to the built-in

    performant.Sorry, my title wasn't very accurate. We are running SpamAssassin through the built in integration, and clamav through amavisd. There isn't any built in integration to clamav, is there?

  • Phototsmart 5510 ePrint server connection error

    Hi,
    I have a Photosmart 5510 with Windows 7.  I am trying to turn on the ePrint service, but it has to run an update before it will enable.  However, every time I try to enable it it gives me a "Server Connection Error" after trying to connect to the server for a minute or two.  The printer is connected to a network with internet and I have no problems accessing every other feature.  I have also tried to download the firmware update from the HP support but when I run it I am told there are no supported devices connected to the computer, regardless of usb or wireless connection to the printer and full drivers being installed.  Is there a way I can do a factory reset on the printer or manually install firmware?
    UPDATE:
    I followed instructions to set Static IP and DNS addresses and the printer connected to the server.
    Issue resolved

    Hi @iliaunt,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are getting a connection error message when trying to enable the web services of your Photosmart 5510 printer.
    Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS server for the printer. I have included a link to another post that has the steps, including screen shots, of how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots show a Photosmart 7510 printer, the steps are the same.
    Please let me know how it goes.

  • Scan to email server connection error for HP Envy 5530

    Hi, Everyone!
    I LOVE my printer.  But, I had to add another laptop (both WIndows) - and then had to add a couple of monitors to that laptop (and a docking statiion) and now it doesn't want to scan to my emails any longer after working like gangbusters for months. 
    I am connected just fine with an excellent signal - but now when I try the Scan to Email feature - a RED X immediately shows up on the right of the control pad and the message says: Server Connection Error. EVEN though I am wirelessly connected just dandy.
    I am not a technical person in the least.  I have no idea what to do.  I tried all the turn off, turn on stuff.  Nothing is working. 
    Thanks for our help!

    Hello MisoSilly,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand when you scan to email, you're receiving a message stating server connection error using the Envy 5530. I will do my best to assist you! Follow this entire thread on: Re: server connection error.

    Hi @Baysidejohn
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I gather that you are getting a connection error message when attempting to use the scan to email feature of our Photosmart 5520 printer.
    Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post that has the steps, including screen shots, on how to do this. Please do not worry that the screen shots show a Photosmart 7510 printer, the steps are the same.
    If you after applying the manual IP address and manual DNS servers you are still getting the same error message, please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region.

  • Deskjet 5525 Server Connection error 403 - scanning documents

    I cannot scan and send documents/photos to email or computer. It is connected wirelessly to internet, but keeps coming up with Server Connection Error : 403. I have reset to factory settings on the printer, but no change.
    What do I do, to be able to scan? My computer is a Mac using OS X Yosemite

    Hi @ FF9451,
    Welcome to the HP forum. I see you have two separate yet similar issues with scanning.
    I would like to help you with these issues.
    I just want to doubble check, is it a Deskjet 5525 or Photosmart 5525?
    The first issue i would like to address is the scan to email. This one is the same with either a deskjet or a photosmart.
    Lets start off simple, so unplug the printer while it is turned on. Might as well turn off any computers, tablets and smart
    TV's also. Then unplug your router for a minute.  After the minute, plug the router back in. Depending on the router it can take few minutes to rebuild the network. While your waiting plug the printer back in. you will notice the blue wireless light is blinking. When it stops blinking your printer is on the network again.  Try the scan to email, if it does not work, the printer might need a manual DNS.  This post: Efax 7510 still won't work, from happytohelp01, I have found really well done, so go ahead and check it out. I know every EWS (embedded web server) is laid out differently so if you need any help let me know.
    The second issue is scanning to the computer. Here i have a few questions. are you using Apple scan or HP scan?
    Is the Hp software installed? Have you removed the printer and then added it again?
