Unable to connect, server not responding

Hello,
We've resurrected a machine running 10.4.x from the dead back into use but it isn't happy with our network. It is configured correctly as far as I can tell. It responds to pings, can browse websites, and can mount other drives; however, when I try to mount the 10.4.x machine's drive from another machine I get the following:
"Unable to connect - server not responding." Which I know is completely untrue after testing ping.
I only entered the ip address in the Go > Connect to Server dialog. When attempting to connect from another machine I see a little more output:
"The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://10.0.1.7" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
I am lost here, any help or observations are highly appreciated.

Hi kssi89, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...
http://fuzzy.wordpress.com/2006/12/10/ioerror-36/
But, in this instance I think it's not even starting to.
Assuming Personal File Sharing is on on that machine & Internet Sharing is OFF, I might try trashing these, reboot and set it up again...

'unable to connect' and 'localhost' and index.php and dreamweaverCC

Hi.
I am developing a Web Site and index.php is my point of entry.
Document Root Library/WebServer/Documents
so my path is: Library/WebServer/Documents/dwwdSite
httpd.conf file is modified to add index.php and have it listed first.
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
<IfModule>
Troubleshooting:
I was using Netbeans IDE and when I ran index.php it opened in the browser.
When I launched 'any' of my index.php files from Netbeans IDE, they opened correctly in the brower
I am now using DreamweaverCC and when I run the index.php Error Message ' Unable to Connect'.
For the last 2 days I have been working on this and I am completely stuck.
This morning I thought of another way to test the 'unable to connect' error.
I decided to copy this same file into Netbeans IDE and I NOW get the same Error Message ' Unable to Connect'
when running index.php from Netbeans.
Somehow, my settings are not correctly configured anymore.
Here are my screenshots from Dreamweaver > manage sites.
I believe that this is a rather simple fix that I am somehow not seeing.
Maybe some can spot some mistake.
I appreciate your help and explanation.

Unable to connect server

Can anyone give me a hint?

Hi,
I suggest you to follow the below steps to import Publish Settings File using Visual Studio
In Visual Studio 2013, open Solution Explorer, right-click the project then click Add and then Connected Service....
In the Services Manager dialog, click Create service..., then select <Import...> from Subscription in the Create Mobile Service dialog.
In Import Azure Subscriptions, click Download subscription file, login to your Azure account (if required), click Save when your browser requests to save the file.
NOTE: The login window is displayed in the browser, which may be behind your Visual Studio window. Remember to make a note of where you saved the downloaded .publishsettings file. You can skip this step if your project is already connected
to your Azure subscription.
Click Browse, navigate to the location where you saved the .publishsettings file, select the file, then click Open and then Import.
Visual Studio imports the data needed to connect to your Azure subscription. When your subscription already has one or more existing mobile services, the service names are displayed.
NOTE: After importing the publish settings, consider deleting the downloaded .publishsettings file as it contains information that can be used by others to access your account. Secure the file if you plan to keep it for use in other
connected app projects.
Hope this helps !
Regards,
Sowmya

Unable to connect to localhost Windows 7 x64, CF9 x64

I've been following along with the Lynda.com tutorial on ColdFusion Builder. Everything went smoothly until the part where I'm supposed to attach CFB to the localhost. The Lynda.com presenter is on a Mac. I am running 64-bit Windows 7 and 64-bit ColdFusion 9 developer edition.
When I would add the local server to CFB, it would sit with status unknown forever. Eventually I would get a message on the console saying
     Error retrieving server version. Cannot perform the operation. Check if the server is accessible from web browser.
(I was following the thread about remote connection issues with great interest, but nothing there seemed to apply to my problem.)
I have tried a number of different permutations of installing and configuring the components.
CF9 x64 Stand-alone
CF9 x64 J2EE piggybacking on IIS
CF9 x64 J2EE built-in web server
I tried these with and without the most recent patches to CFB and CF9
With the built-in web server, I tried using cfusion:8300. I also tried creating a new server instance called localhost on 8500. When I tried adding localhost:8500 to CFB, CFB locked up.
I have a feeling that I'm either looking in the wrong place or I have overlooked something obvious. I just thought of one thing I haven't tried... I will try to install the 32 bit version of CF9 to see if that helps.
Any other advice would be appreciated. Is anyone else running CF9 x64 under Windows 7 x64?
--B

I decided to check the system reqs for CFB just in case I made an RTFM gaffe.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion_builder
ColdFusion Builder for Windows
    * 2GHz or faster processor
    * Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 3, Windows Vista® Ultimate or Enterprise (32 or 64 bit running in 32-bit mode), Windows Server® 2008 (32 bit), or Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit running in 32-bit mode)
    * 1GB of RAM (2GB recommended)
    * 1GB of available hard-disk space
    * Java™ Virtual Machine (32 bit): IBM® JRE 1.5, Sun™ JRE 1.5, IBM JRE 1.6, or Sun JRE 1.6
    * DVD-ROM drive
    * Eclipse 3.4.2 or Eclipse 3.5 32-bit (for plug-in installation)
So, no 64 bit version, but the 32-bit should work... well - that's one less thing.
I tried 32bit CF9 but the server wouldn't serve any pages. I kept getting a 500.0 error. Adobe has addressed this:
http://blogs.adobe.com/vikaschandran/2010/07/08/altering-application-pools-in-iis-764-bit- to-create-32-and-64-bit-connectors-with-coldfusion-964-bit/
but I decided to shut down IIS and run CF9 as a free-standing J2EE using its own built-in web server.
Once again, CFB locked up when trying to add the new localhost server. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall CFB...

Demantra Workbench Collaborator:unable to connect to localhost

Hi everyone,
When I am clicking on the Collaborator Workbench to start it, my default browser (Mozilla) opens and it tries to connect to the domain: localhost but it is not able to connect.
There is no error message. The browser just keeps on trying to connect forever.
Same thing happened when I tried other browsers IE and Chrome also.
I checked the java plugins also.
Please advise.
PD

This could be possibly you forgot to start the web server.
It is a very late reply but might help some one who stuck with similar issue.

Mail is unable to connect server because password check

Hi, since Tiger 10.4.7 I have the problem that Mail cannot connect to my POP mail server. The error message said that my password wouldn't be accepted from server.
I am sure that the password is correct because my pop server don't ask for a password (the server use single sign on from my internet access data).
The problem occurse very often if Mail runs a while (up to 1 hour) and than the cyclic email check fails. The error occours only at the first account in my list, the second is never affected. I tested this because I changed the order of my accounts and than the seconde (and now the first) account was affected by this problem.
Workaround is restart Mail and it will work the next hour.
Jan Lolling

Hi Jan.
I am sure that the password is correct because my
pop server
don't ask for a password
This doesn't make sense. What do you mean? How can a
password be correct if the server doesn't ask for it?
I had a similar problem. I change my password every three months, on the 1st. I changed, as usual, on the 1st of October, and instantly had problems.
Mail would sometimes refuse to connect, saying that it's got the wrong password. If I re-entered the password, Mail usually connected. Sometimes it didn't and I'd have to re-enter the password again. Meanwhile, that same password worked fine if I went to the .Mac web page, or to the discussions page, or to the iTunes store.
I quickly determined that it's not the password. It's not the server. It's Mail and/or the keychain. I dug out the old Keychain First Aid application, which no longer works. I dug out Keychain Access, which said that the last time I'd updated my .Mac password was July, which was incorrect. I quit Keychain Access and launched Mail, and was again told that Mail needed my .Mac password. I updated it, checked mail, quit Mail, and checked the keychain again. It still showed not updated since July. This meant that Mail was not talking to the keychain, for unknown reasons.
I updated the password in Keychain Access, saved and quit, and tried again... and again got the message that Mail had the wrong password. Quit Mail, relaunched Keychain Access, and found that Mail was not on the list of applications which could access that password. I added Mail to the list, saved and quit, relaunched Mail, and all is working.
At some time between July and today something happened which denied Mail access to the keychain. As I started having the problem after I updated to 10.4.8, I suspect the update.

Been using Firefox 6 years with DSl. Recently have gotten nothing but the above messages - can't open any pages! Got a new DSL modem, re-downloaded Firefox and still can't open any pages - not even mozilla.com or google or cnn.
Rebooted, restarted, etc.
Even tried to download Chrome, but it failed - and I couldn't find out why because the "tell me why" defaulted to Firefox.
... really no fan of IE ...

Unable to connect to essbase server through console

Getting the rror below
Error: 1042006: Network error [10061]: Unable to connect to [localhost:1423].
The client timed out waiting to connect to Analytic Services Agent using TCP/IP.
Check your network connections.
Also make sure that server and port values are correct
I am able to connect and work through esscmd, though.
Thanks
Biswajit

Hi,
This is one of known issues. Firstly, ensure that agent and required services are up and running properly. As you said, you were able to connect through MAXL/ESSCMD , it means essbase server( analytical services must be up and running).
Next, check whether your admininstration services server is running.
If all s well, try NETDELAY and NETRETRYCOUNT .One can find informatino regarding this in tech reference

"unable to connect to server/OK"

I'm in iCloud ****.
I keep getting an intrusive prompt stating "New iCloud Terms and Conditions -- To use iCloud on this iPhone you must accept the new Terms and Conditions."
Underneath are options to "View Terms" or "Not Now."
When I click on "View Terms," I'm taken to iCloud settings, where "Terms and Condtions" is highlighted, invlting me to click. (All of the green buttons are inactive.) When I click on "Terms and Condtions," I get a prompt stating "Unable to connect server" -- the only option is to click on "OK," highlighted in blue. When you click on "OK," you're back to "Terms and Conditions" and can only toggle back and forth.
I paid $71 to Apple Care to try to get this resolved. After mulltiple attempted fixes -- such as downloading "Find My Friends" and trying to agree to the new terms and condtiions when setting that up, which didn't work -- it looks like I'm on my own.
Anybody out there familiar with this scenario? Anybody able to get around it?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.

SCVMM 2012: Unable to connect to the VMM management server localhost:8100

Hi everyone
I have difficulties connecting with the Admin UI to the SCVMM server running on the same machine. This is the error message I see:
Unable to connect to the VMM management server localhost. The Virtual Machine Manager service on that server did not respond.
Verify that Virtual Machine Manager has been installed on the server and that the Virtual Machine Manager service is running.
Then try to connect again. If the problem persists, restart the Virtual Machine Manager service.
ID: 1602
I checked that the service is running and checked with the Resource Monitor that vmmservice.exe is really listening on port 8100. The Resource Monitor also shows some traffic between itself, the service and the DC. But all traffic dies down after a few seconds,
then nothing happens for a minute, then I get the above error message. The only SCVMM related entry in the eventlog is this (was logged when I manually tried restarting the service):
Failed to stop service. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Microsoft.VirtualManager.Engine.VirtualManagerService.OnStop()
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.DeferredStop()
But I guess that entry is of no help. Other important things that might be relevant:
This installation worked fine three months ago. Since then only the automatic updates were installed.
DPM (the 2012 CTP for Win8) is installed on the same server.
After it didn't work I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 (offered by Microsoft Update)
SCVMM is part of a small test installation (~10 VMs or so), no valuable data, so there's no risk when messing around
Control panel shows the version number 3.1.1042.0 for "Microsoft System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager".
Is there anything else I could try? How can SCVMM stop to work, all by itself? Leaves a sour taste...
Cheers,
Simon

When such odd behaviour occur, it is a good tip to start a VMM trace to see where things are actually going wrong. And suck files is interestin for MS support once the obvious things for errors, are eliminated out of the picture.
VMM has dependencies such as SQL, permissions and service accounts. All of these variables does
also have dependencies that should be verified. Verify that the account for the service does is not locked/expired pwd, that the SQL is up and running - and actually is working. There is a lot of logs to check in order to determine the root cause of
this behaviour.

Error calling report FRM-41213 unable to connect to Report Server

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Database 10g R2 and Oracle Developer 10gR2.
I installed it in both Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP2.
I would like to call a Report using a button inside Oracle Form.
I create my own Report Server, using : rwserver server=repsrv
A Java-based window appear OracleAS Reports Sevice, and showed that repsrv is ready.
In Form (inside a button -> WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED) :
1. Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT()
   rep_id := find_report_object('REPORT10');
     if not id_null(rep_id) then
       v_rep := run_report_object(rep_id);
     else
          message('Null');
   end if;
   a. If I did not specify the name of the Report Server in Reports node of Form's property object
(I leave it blank)
The following error appear :
FRM-41211: Integration error, SSL failure running another product
b. If I specify the name of the Report Server : repsrv
The following error appear :
FRM-41213: Unable to connect to Reports Server repsrv
2. Using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()
a. If did not I specify the server name in the parameter
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| SUBSTR(v_rep,INSTR(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||,'_blank');Another web browser appear and the following error appear :
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
b. If I specify the server name in the parameter --> server='repsrv'
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| SUBSTR(v_rep,INSTR(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');Another web browser appear and the following error appear :
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
In Report :
If I try to navigate manually to :
1. http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet using web browser.
It showed OracleAS Report Services - Servlet Command Help page.
2. http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?userid=scott/tiger@orcl&report=D:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
3. Finally,
http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?server=REPSRV&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&report=C:\PRACTICE\FORM\MODULE1.JSP&destype=cache&desformat=html
The following error occured
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
4. Any attempt to different command (i.e showenv, showjobs, etc) seems failed
If I did not specify the server then REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep_<computer_name> failed
If I specify the server - 'repsrv' then REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsrv failed
5. I have tried to use rwrun in command line.
rwrun report="D:\My Documents\form\module1.jsp" userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname="D:\My Documents\form\module2.pdf"
The PDF file created and it looks exactly as the web layout as in Oracle Report Builder (Run Web Layout CTRL-R)
Question :
1. What supposed to be done?
The Report server is ready, but the web browser seems unable to connect to Report Server.
2. Can we used or call or executed an executable command line from Form (using PL/SQL inside button)?
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
Problem solved.
I got the solution from another post.
Re: REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep failed
Here are the step I did.
Note : Please make backup for the following file : rwnetwork.conf
- In file rwnetwork.conf, remove or commented the following
<multicast channel="228.5.6.7" port="14021" timeout="1000" retry="3"/>
- And then uncommented
<namingService name="Cos" host="%NAMING_HOST%" port="%NAMING_PORT%"/>
- replace the
%NAMING_HOST% with your computer name or specify an IP address
%NAMING_PORT% with 14021
It should look like this :
<namingService name="Cos" host="blahblah" port="14021"/>
- I did not change the : name="Cos", since I do not understand what does it for
- Save you changes.
- Start the OC4J.
- Find the location of : namingservice.bat (on Windows platform)
- execute in the command line : namingservice.bat 14021
- finally start the report in the web browser
Note:
To shutdown the namingservice, use : namingservice.bat 14021 shutdown
Regards.

glad you posted it first i had the same problem.
However, samba was complaining that
printing = none
was invalid. I removed that line and it works great.
thanks
