HI All, We run a scheduling product called Appworx that, like the CMC, the admin interface is Java-based. Out of 11 metaframe servers, it only works on two. I get a bunch of Java errors like this: ErrorMsg: E005009 RMI connection failure (10/20/03 12:56 PM) Details: Can not access RMI Server. Server may not be running. java.rmi.RemoteException: rmi://192.168.5.57:1099/AxRmiServer; nested exception is: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 192.168.5.57; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect at com.appworx.client.screen.util.Loader.o(DashoA5946:986) at com.appworx.client.screen.util.Loader.init(DashoA5946:244) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 192.168.5.57; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPEndpoint.newSocket(Unknown Source) at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.createConnection(Unknown Source) at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.newConnection(Unknown Source) at sun.rmi.server.UnicastRef.newCall(Unknown Source) at sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl_Stub.lookup(Unknown Source) at com.appworx.client.screen.util.Loader.o(DashoA5946:977) ... 3 more Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryImpl.createSocket(Unknown Source) at com.appworx.server.sslrmi.SSLRMIClientSocketFactory.createSocket(DashoA5946:96) ... 9 more I must fess up. I practice bad change control. Most of my servers are at different levels of something or other. I have Java 1.3.1 to Java 1.4.1_05. Appworx works on the lowest and the highest versions. I've installed different versions on problem servers to see if it fixes things. Nope. I am almost tempted to say I have a ecurity issue because one of the things this does is bring down a certificate. Just so happens that the metaframe servers with this problem also have problems with Compaq Remote Insight Boards (which also use certificates and also use Java). Any ideas? All servers are W2K SP3 XPe. FR levels are 2 and 3 (both of which work). Working servers may/may not have more MS hotfixes that others. I can't find a common thread. adam ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - NetX Inc.
