1: aolserver and IPs?
Posted by Rocael Hernández Rizzardini on 11/18/00 12:05 AM
Hi all!
I have a problem and I believe that somebody in the commmunity can
help me.
I have one server with 4 IPs assignated, the address of the box is
209.217.53.170 and I'm running OpenACS there in port 8000, now I want
to run another service with other IP, lets say 209.217.53.171, I put
in my myservice.tcl file the new IP address but I got Error: nsssock:
" Cannot assign requested address', What I'm doing wrong and what
should I do??
thank you for your answers!

I have 5 IPs assigned to my server and it works fine. PLease post your servername.tcl file. That way it will be easier to diagnose. Are you sure that your computer knows about all 4 IPs? That could be the problem.

You did not mention what operating system or what version AOLserver you are using. That information will help alot.

You must in name_your_service.ini 
[ns/server/standard/module/nssock]
timeout=120
Address=209.217.53.170
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^change->209.217.53.171
Hostname=www.your.page.com
Port=8000
Voila!

Hi Dave!
you are right, I forgot to post somethings,
I'm running RedHat6.2 and aolserver 3.2+ad10

Also I don't know really if my system know about the 4 IPs, how can I check it and how can I configure my system to know about the IPs if it doesn't know yet?

Other question that I have is if my domain is www.mydomain.com, my aolserver will listen at:
www.mydomain.com,
mydomain.com,
209.217.53.170
it will listen to all of this by default or I need to configure it manually?

thanks for your help! :)

you can check the system running at http://aux-209-217-53-170.oklahoma.net:8000

Short answer.

Type ifconfig at a command prompt to see what IPs your ethernet card is listening on.

You need to setup and IP Alias I think its called. Search around on www.linuxdoc.org for more information. This looks like a Linux problem, not AOLserver.
