Forum OpenACS Q&A: Can't connect to aolserver

Posted by manish mukherjee on 03/30/01 03:42 AM

hi all,

i've finally gotten everything running to the point where there are no
errors in the server log. also, it says nssock is listening and
accepting connection on port 8000. but no pages load from a web
browser.

any ideas?

thanks!

Could you be more specific about the errors you get? Are you using IE? Are you pointing your browser to http://yourdomain:8000?

Sorry for the lack of info! i'm ssh'ing into the red hat 6.2 server,
then running "lynx localhost:8000" and "lynx mydomain:8000", but
neither works. lynx just hangs there.

thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,

It seems your nsd proces isn't running or you have firewalled yourself out or,...

Look at the basics
$ ps auxw | grep nsd

is the /uss/loacl/aolserver/bin/nsd running? (your path may differ it depends on, well, lots a factors)

is there a socket open on the interface at TCP port 8000?
$ netstat -na | grep 8000

This would help in helping you.

well, i took the easy route to solve my problem - i used the rpms,
and my original problem seems to be fixed.

but now the problem is that from the server itself, i can
successfully go to "mydomain:8080", but not from any other machine.
i can still reach my apache server running on port 80 from any other
machine, just not aolserver on 8080.

thanks everyone for your help.

no idea why this was happening. i couldn't get to mydomain:8080 from
an outside machine, but once i changed the port to 8000, it worked
like a charm.
