Update fails to connect to server after hours of spinning

when I open the fire Fox browser I get a message that I should apply update to FireFox right away. When I click the box it goes out looking for the server ..... forever. Never comes back with any message.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

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.

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.

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.

MS Sql Server, unable to connect to server after DB table change.

I elected to move some columns from one table to another.
I ran a script to attempt to add the columns to the new table, after deleting the columns, to test the script.
After this, I was unable to do anything with the table involved, I kept getting timeout errors.
I restarted the SQL server instance.
Now, for the whole DB server ( there are multiple DB's hosted on this server ), I get messages like "cannot show requested dialog" additional information: "failed to connect to server devsql01. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)" "the
target principal name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context. (Microsoft SQL Server).
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
David

Hi David,
According to your description, you come across the error(the target principal name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context)
Besides Uri's post, this issue could occur when there are duplicate SPNs registered in Active Directory(AD), or the SQL Server service account doesn't have the Read and Write ServicePrincipalName permissions after the change from other users.
To work around the issue, please follow the solutions below.
1.Please check if there are duplicate SPNs registered in AD using LDIFDE tool. If so, please delete them using the setspn tool. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://mssqlwiki.com/2013/12/09/sql-server-connectivity-kerberos-authentication-and-sql-server-spn-service-principal-name-for-sql-server/
2.Please check if SQL Server service account has Read servicePrincipalName and Write servicePrincipalName in the Active Directory service. If it doesn't have, please grant Read and Write ServicePrincipalName permissions.
In addition, there is an article for your reference:

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

This |resource could be either the page or file listed in the

line of the client.

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.

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]]

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.

IPad fails to connect to WiFi after OTA update to iOS 6

After the OTA update to iOS 6 my new iPad fails to connect to my WiFi network at home. My LANCOM router reports the following issue:
Index: 62294
Zeit: 19.09.2012 21:08:28
Interface: WLAN-1
Ereignis: Rejected Association from WLAN station xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx []: ()
Adresse: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Grund: Cannot support all requested capabilities in Capability Information field
It has worked flawlessly in the past with iOS 5 on my new iPad and iPhone 4. At the moment I hestitate to update my iPhone too.
Anyone with the same issue or an idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance, greetings from Stuttgart (Germany),
Jens

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Outgoing mail can't connect to server after update

I updated my iphone and ipad and desktop when the new update came out. My email works only on my iphone and ipad. My computer recieves messages, but can not send them. It says it is "offline" and "can't connect to server" uggggh. This has been going on for at least a month now. I called Time Warner Cable and they basically said they could not help me.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

My system won't connect to server after showing that update for 29.0.1 has been accepted

I receive notice that an update to 29.0.1 is available and have for a week or so. When I install the update a window opens that shows a progress bar that continues to respond, as progress message shows.. connecting to server. I have waited for up to 10 minutes with no change to progress. When checking with mozilla my system shows that I have the latest version. These updates are for security purposes and I need to know if there is a problem or if my system is at risk. Is this update notice a glitch?

Its because, your firefox not update the version. the best way to solve this issue is clean reinstall
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
