ORS VM Problem

Reply Threaded

Hi,

I have downloaded the Virtual Appliance (today) and configured it to connect to the Marketcetera exchange. Looking at the diagnostics page shows that all processes are running and host connectivity resolves for everything.

Using photon however, I am unable to connect and receive a Connection Refused. I have pointed the preferences to the IP address of the VM, but still receive the error. Doing an nmap of the VM shows that ports 22 and 3000 are the only ones open - not 61616 as expected.

What other diagnostics can I do to resolve this?

I like the look of this project - very interesting, but it would be good to get it running :)

Cheers,

Chris

Chris,

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. We'll take a look at it in
tomorrow in the office.

Meanwhile, to get you started, can you try out the Windows installer?
We haven't had any issues with that.

I'll let you know tomorrow once i try reproducing the error. We've
been moving away from VMWare appliance once we released the Windows
installer, so it's possible that there have been a firewall
misconfiguration on the Ubuntu image.

Have you tried 'telnet <machine_ip> 61616' to see if that works?
If you log on to the appliance and do "netstat -an|grep 61616', do you
see that port coming back?

Chris,

I haven't been able to reproduce your error. I've taken a vanilla
0.5.0 VMWare image and it works just fine for me, i'm able to connect
to it.
Can you give me a few more details on your setup?

1. What OS are you running this on? Windows? XP? Vista? Linux? Mac?
2. Can you send me a screenshot of your Photon connections page?
3. Can you send me a screenshot of what you get when you go to
Tradebase Server Diagnostics?
4. Can you give me output (or screenshot) of what you get when you log
on to the VMWare image and type 'ifconfig' ?
5. Are you using VMWare Player or Workstation?

It's possible that either the ORS is not running, or somehow port
61616 is not exposed. I've seen networking problems with the VMWare
player where if you switched form NAT to Bridged (or vice versa) the
networking problems disappeared.

Again, we are going to discontinue the VMWare appliance b/c of all of
these issues in the upcoming 0.9.0 release - but you'll get a Windows
installer and a Linux self-contained "server" package that you can
just untar into a directory of your choice.

hope this helps.

Hi Toli,

See answers below, I can't give any screenshots until Monday when I'm back at work. I'll also d/l the windows installer and hopefully have some more luck with that.

1. What OS are you running this on? Windows? XP? Vista? Linux? Mac?

Windows XP

2. Can you send me a screenshot of your Photon connections page?

I've pointed the IP addresses to 192.168.0.15 (the VMWare machine), otherwise defaults. Will send screenshot.

3. Can you send me a screenshot of what you get when you go to
Tradebase Server Diagnostics?
4. Can you give me output (or screenshot) of what you get when you log
on to the VMWare image and type 'ifconfig' ?

Shows IP address of 192.168.0.15

5. Are you using VMWare Player or Workstation?

VMWare player

It's possible that either the ORS is not running, or somehow port
61616 is not exposed. I've seen networking problems with the VMWare
player where if you switched form NAT to Bridged (or vice versa) the
networking problems disappeared.

VMWare is running in bridged mode, so I could try NAT. It seems odd though as an nmap of the machine does show SSH (22) and port 3000 exposed with no mention of port 61616 not being exposed.

Again, we are going to discontinue the VMWare appliance b/c of all of
these issues in the upcoming 0.9.0 release - but you'll get a Windows
installer and a Linux self-contained "server" package that you can
just untar into a directory of your choice.

I opted for the VMWare appliance as I hoped I (funnily enough) hoped it would avoid these problems. But I'll give the Windows installer a run on Monday.

Cheers,
Chris

That was the case until we got the Windows installer working.

Let's wait till Monday - we can try debugging your system in
"real-time". I'd be interested to see the output of "netstat -an|grep
61616" on that machine. Perhaps the ORS is not starting up correctly.
If that's the case, would be interesting to look at the
ors/logs/ors.log as well.
