[SOLVED] XBMC (libnfs 1.9.3) NFS fails to connect to server

Hey guys,
My NFS source in XBMC recently stopped working. I'm not postive what caused it, I tried downgrading libnfs and the linux kernel to back a few months to when I'm certain it was working, but with no success. I also tried downgrading XBMC to 12.3 also without any success.
Mounting my NFS share still works fine using nfsutils with `mount -t nfs desktop:/home/evan/documents/multimedia ~/some-folder`
Here is my xbmc.log
This is the relevant section:
02:43:49 T:139805856254016 DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 1 Up

02:43:50 T:139805856254016 DEBUG: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory (sources://video/)
And here's what I see in my journal on the server:
May 26 02:29:44 desktop rpc.mountd[339]: authenticated mount request from 192.168.1.101:50874 for /home/evan/documents/multimedia (/home/evan/documents/multimedia)
I had a similar problem about a year ago that turned out to be a bug in libnfs that I was able to work around by downgrading the kernel. But again, that doesn't seem to be working this time around.
Is anyone currently successfully using NFS with their arch XBMC setup? Any ideas?
Edit: Sorry, realized I probably should have posted this under "Network, Server, and Protection". If a mod would like to move it please do!

I've been posting some of my findings over in this XBMC forum thread and I've made a little bit of progress.
The summary of it is: Using the latest git version of libnfs (which I will upload a PKGBUILD to the AUR) I'm able to connect when XBMC is running on the same machine running the NFS server. However on my HTPC I'm getting the error "socket error Connection refused(111)." with nothing in my journal. It's definitely a problem with libnfs, since using the new `nfs-ls` utility provided in libnfs-git fails. So I don't _think_ it's an XBMC issue. Perhpase it's time to open a issue in the libnfs github repo.
@mod24: What specifically did you have to downgrade to get it working?

FRM-92050: Failed to connect to Server: /forms/lservlet-1 coming thru LBR

Hi,
Our EBS setup is as follows,
R12.1.1,
10g DB, 10.2.0.4 (patchset)
Sun Solaris 10 64 bit
Two node Apps Tier (AppServer1 and AppServer2) in a shared APPL_TOP.
and Two node RAC Database Tier (DBNode1 and DBNode2)
Highly secured and firewall environments.
We configured EBS R12 and we were able to login and launch forms , Submit conncurrent jobs and everythings worked fine.
http://hostname.domainname:8000
Now , our requirement is that all the users would be accessing our EBS through https and the flow is as follows,
Step1:
User => https://lbrname.domainname:443
here lbrname is our Load Balancer name. Here the request is identified as EBS request and LBR forwards that URL to our reverse proxy server
Step2:
Our reverse proxy server is Sun http web server 7 update 5. It converts it to http://hostname.domainname:8000 and offloads it to the apps tier.
We followed metalink note 380489.1 - Using Load-Balancers with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 to configure our EBS with load balancer .
(Section 2.1: Using Hardware Load Balancers with Single Web Entry Point).
After configuring we are able to login to the EBS URL using https://lbrname.domainname:443.
Now here is our problem,
When trying to launch any form , it gives the below error.
FRM-92050: Failed to connect to Server: /forms/lservlet-1
not sure how to proceed. Looked at google , metalink but not getting anywhere.
Can you please give some pointers as how to solve this problem ?
Thanks,
Sasi

Hi Helios,
Thank you very much for your time.
Metalink ID 438522.1 & 367614.1 doesnt apply to our environment.
I had looked at 470890.1 and it looked like we are ok but I'm going to double check on that.
FRM-92050: Failed to connect to Server: /forms/lservlet:-1 http://ID 470890.1
On the laodbalancer (Big IP) i need to check with our network team.
FRM-92050: Failed To Connect To Server: /forms/lservlet:-1 http://ID 793409.1
Thanks again.

Publishing error (failed to connect to server)

Using X5, I am trying to publish to our help server (web help
pro), but getting a message in the output window "Warining: Failed
to publish to 'yourserver'. reason: Failed to connect to server.
All my permissions are set up as described here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=rb_e01
So... I ran a packet sniffer and then tried to publish
again... and saw that the publisher attempts to access
http://yourserver/robo/robo.dll?mgr=sys&cmd=svr
When I try to access this address in a browser, I get a 401 error
with the message below.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
|Server: unauthorized
|Unauthorized due to ACL on resource
|
|This error indicates that the credentials passed by the
client do not have access to the particular resource on the server.
This |resource could be either the page or file listed in the
address line of the client, or it could be another file on the
server that is |needed to process the file listed on the address
line of the client.
|
|Please make a note of the entire address you were trying to
access and then contact the Web server's administrator to verify
|that you have permission to access the requested resource.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, if I try to access that address _on_ the server (
http://localhost/....) I get some
nice XML:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can not seem to figure out what ACL is incorrect. I tried
running process monitor (from winternals), and did not see anything
helpful. The IIS www worker process seems to access all the robo
files/registry without error.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can I get some guidance on
how to resolve? We are about to purchase support incidents, but the
sooner I can resolve, the better.
Any help appreciated. thanks,
ajperrins

I'm afraid I won't be of much help except to say that this is
a classic permissions issue. I have to assume you've checked and
double-checked the link referred to in your post (which is a good
one).
You might also try this technote:
Publishing
to RoboEngine
In helping others troubleshoot this, it sometimes turns out
that there are firewall issues that are not obvious especially if
you are in a large organization crossing many domains from author
to server. Are you the ultimate "server admin" or is there someone
in your organization's network admnistration who could help resolve
the permission issue?
Sorry I can't be of immediate help.

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio "Failed to Connect to Server"

One of my report developers recently got a new laptop. Since then, she hasn't been able to open an existing report or create a new one. She can log into Financial Reporting Studio, but when trying to open an existing report or create a new report, she gets the error message "Failed to Connect to Server".
We've tested using her laptop and using mine. We are both fine on my laptop. We both have same issue on her laptop. Therefore, we don't think it's a security/credentials issue.
We've searched help documentation and other threads in this forum but haven't been able to find what we need.
We suspect that file(s) are missing or something wasn't configured properly during the new install. Maybe the Planning ADM Driver?? Our company's tech support hasn't been able to help. This is a new implementation, the consultants are gone, and our IT staff isn't up to speed yet.
Can anyone offer help as to what file/configuration could be the cause and exactly how to correct?
Thanks.

We had the same issue after installing the Financial Reporting Studio client.
If you run the batch script HRRunAnt.cmd in the directory C:\Hyperion\products\biplus\install\bin after installation this fixes the problem.

Sync always fails to connect to server with no reason

On two of my computers (both Macs running 10.6.7, one a MacBook Air and one an older iMac), Sync fails, saying "failed to connect to server"
When I try again (and again, and again...) it results in the same message. It has synced successfully in the past, but has not in more than a week.
I can't figure out how to get it to sync or even how to get more information about the issue.
Any help, ideas or suggestions - including questions clarifying or detailing the issue - are welcome.
Thank you!!

If Oracle reports error about Net8 configuration, that means -
you're trying to use "thick" JDBC driver, though usual way
is to use "thin" driver instead. You have to make corrections
in your connect url like:
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:<port>:<sid>"

Hope this will help

Sometimes JBoss fails to connect to server.

JBoss does not connect all the times during server re-boot. The errors on the log are listed below. It looks like the ports are in use, but re-starting the JBoss service or the server will resolve the connection issue. This problem does not occur all the times. Sometimes JBoss starts without any problem. This is a Windows Server 2003 and SQL 2005 environment.
Caused by: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Failed to connect to server 0.0.0.0:1100 [Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Failed to connect to server 0.0.0.0:1100 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]]

What could be the problem? Thank you,

To change the ports, stop JBoss and change the ports on the file listed below. Start JBoss.

Failed to connect to server "%MACHINENAME%

Hi;
I have problem with opening report with crystal report 2013 EOM , i got this strange exception I have google it and didnt find any helpful data
"Failed to connect to server "%MACHINENAME%".Error returned from Windows Sockets API getaddrinfo: 11001."
i am using this code
tempFilePath += "Evaluators Trend.rpt";
            ReportClientDocumentClass crystalReport = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
            object path = (object)tempFilePath;
            crystalReport.Open(ref path, 0);
can you please advice how can i avoid this issue .
Thanks ,
Fade Ismaeel

Hi,
Could you try below code and see if you face the same issue?
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rd = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument;
boReportClientDocument= new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.ReportAppServer = System.Environment.MachineName;
object path= @"C:\Reports\World Sales Report.rpt";
boReportClientDocument.Open(ref path, 0);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource= boReportClientDocument;
You would need to set the RAS server which will be processing your request. Above code works when executed on the same machine as CRSE is installed. You could also use the IP address of the machine (instead of "System.Environment.MachineName") where the RAS is installed.

Multiple errors from MsiInstaller with event id 1015 and text "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005"

Hi,
Every night I get a lot of warnings in the event log from MsiInstaller with event ID 1015 and text "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005". They are always followed by a new event 1035. Example:
Event 1015, MsiInstaller (Warning)
Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005
Event 1035, MsiInstaller (Information)
Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Microsoft Excel Mobile Viewer Components. Product Version: 14.0.4763.1000. Product Language: 0. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Reconfiguration success or error status: 0.
I probably get around 50 of these each night, and the 1035 events are all related to various SharePoint components. The user in all cases is the sharepoint farm account.
I use SharePoint 2010 enterprise in a farm install on one virtual server. I have a private domain, and the database is on a separate server.
Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Other than the error in the event log I cannot see any issues with my installation. I have searched for this error and seen it related to user profile synchronisation, but profile sync is working fine for me. I
installed using the Technet guide and the user profile sync guide at
http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups.aspx
Thanks,
Mikael

Hey Trevor. Thanks. I wasn't sure which method it was failing on although I understood it was the Windows Installer Service that was getting called by the job. There are three things that are still interesting to me though:
The job succeeds anyway. How? Does it just continue to run the rest of its checks but fails on this one? If it doesn't fail on this one, why not? If it does fail here, but then continues, should we be concerned about the quality of the data in Manage Patch
Status?
Or... does it somehow succeed once it uses the DCOM rights which appear to clear the 10016 errors? What I've never been able to reconcile with these warnings is that we've granted DCOM rights to launch and activate the Windows Installer Service and
that definitely seems to make a difference to success or failure of the job - so why doesn't it clear these warnings?
Why does granting the file system permissions clear the FIM version of this job's warnings, but not for the Product Version Job? This is particularly vexing since granting the DCOM rights appears to resolve the 10016 errors in exactly the same manner for
both jobs.
All of this has led me to believe that there were missing permissions somewhere, probably on the file system, but I just haven't had any luck pinning that down. One reason why I continued to pursue a solution to this is that the job doesn't actually try
to install anything, it's just trying to use the Windows Installer Service to query the installed version, and the DCOM rights should be sufficient to invoke the service. But getting much further than this has proven pretty difficult since I'm not a dev and
I've kind of pushed my limited reflection skills and understanding of the Windows Installer Service to the limit. If anyone can chip in and make some progress from this point, it'd be great to join forces!

I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one. New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac). the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

Hello John,
this problem could probably be caused by a Firefox extension.
To make sure that no extension is causing the problems,
start Firefox in Safe Mode by following the instructions in the [[Safe Mode]] article.

Software updater fails to connect to server. How can I fix?

Software updater fails tp connect with the server. I have tried a restart and checked network connections and internet access. I have no problems connecting to internet, App Store and iTunes Store. Help!

If you know what downloads to look for you get them from support.apple.com. For example the 10.6.8 combo update v1.1 can be found here.
The probelm is knowing what to look for and that's why softwere update comes in handy even if you don't want to have it do the downloads. What's probably going on was that the servers looked by software update were either temporarily down, or as mentioned above, overloaded. Wait a while and try it again.

Why does my email fail to connect to server ?

My iPad4. Mail delivery is erratic. Mail is sent to the Outbox of the primary outgoing server without warning. Then later when accessing mail I get failed to connect to primary server or cannot send mail messages and have to go back to check the Outbox. Some mail goes through in one session then fails in another session. Happens when no settings have been changed or updates have occurred. Sometimes mail indicates "sending" for a long time but eventually ends up in outbox . Can primary server be other than the ISP server to test if ISP server speed is the problem ? This has caused some online bills to fail to be paid on time.

Hi,
The first step I would take would be simply removing and re-adding the offending account. Let me know if that helps.
Thanks,
KTBoy

Mail is failing to connect to server mobile.me, what do i do?

My Mail of OS 10.6.8 in my MacMini is failing to connect properly to server MobileMe. How can I correct this problem?

Is this just recently? If so it could be related to the iOS5 and iCloud rollout this morning. My phone connection to MobileMe has been spotty this morming.

Sync encountered an error while connecting.Failed to connect to server.

Cannot connect to server. "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Failed to connect to the server."

This happened yesterday 1/20 after my daughter was in her e-mail account. Had trouble with the screen also.

I started having this problem after the download of the new Firefox 5.0. No solutions posted have worked so far. FIPS is already disabled.

[Solved]Pacman fails to connect to server in Arch Virtual Machine

Hi
I've just installed arch 2008.06 in VMWare Workstation 6.04 on Vista Business x64. The setup all went fine and i am now logged into my system, but Pacman refuses to connect to anything. i have tried Bridged networking and NAT to no avail. whenever i run 'pacman -Syy' i get the message
"error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : File unavailable (e.g.,file not found, no access)"
followed by the same message for each mirror in my mirrorlist, and then again for 'extra.db.tar.gz' and 'community.db.tar.gz', and then 'failed to synchronise any databases' at the end.
I have tried pinging google, as well as several of the arch mirrors and they all work fine. wget also seems to work fine, it's just pacman that's not working.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Last edited by henrypootel (2008-09-12 01:53:56)

That's what i thought too so i switched off the Vista firewall and still no luck. I am behind a hardware firewall here at work, but it shouldn't be blocking FTP traffic. i use FTP in windows all the time.
Just tried downloading a file using wget and it worked fine.
