Forum OpenACS Q&A: Server not found (Am I missing a Java Machine?)

I installed RedHat 7, Postgres, loaded the schema, aolserver (got
hello page with the sample-nsd.tcl)

Then I tried your nsd.tcl
I had to comment out the call "ns_param nsjava $bindir..." in
"section ns/server/server1/modules" because it said it couldn't find
any java (and none of the paths defined in the ClassPath variable in
your nsd.tcl exist

Now I get "Netscape is unable to locate the server mymachine:8000"

The server log looks fine. It says listening on http://mymachine:8000
accepting connections

Then it runs these processes: (running scheduled proc )

ad_partner_initialize
opening postgres:yourdb and a bunch of postgres stuff
ug_init_serve_group_pages
ad_update_robot_list (not replicating robots)
config_default_email_types
ad_filter_restricted_content_sections
flag_interrupted_spams

Then it says "Done running scheduled proc flag_interrupted_spams." And
it seems to be dead there

What happens if you "ping mymachine" or "telnet mymachine" from the same machine you're running Netscape on?

"Can't locate mymachine" means that Netscape can't resolve the name "mymachine" to an IP address.  You either have to configure your machine so it can resolve "mymachine" or use the IP directly in Netscape.

Yes! I'm up and running. It's amazing the trivial problems cause the most headaches. Mostly because the big problems are well documented and indexed
I have the same problem and using the IP doesn't work either.
Fixed it! I had to set the name of the host to be the IP (same as the address) in my config.tcl cause I'm running locally on the LAN.
