Error on CDE display - Reflection X

[Zulkarnain Bin Salim]

Hi Guru,

Need some help, after i configured dns client ( using set_parms addl_netwrk ). I can't relogin back to the server via Reflection X software. The details error prompt up from the screen while accesing the server ;

The desktop messaging system could not started

To correct the problem

1 ) Choose [OK] to return to the login.
!2 ) Select failsafe session from the login screen's option menu and login
3 ) Check to see that the desktop is properly installed, the hostname is correct ( /etc/hosts ) and that the network is properly configured.

For additional information, see the CDE User Guide.

Info:
a ) Server Rp4440 - HPUX 11.11
b ) 4 Server - 2 Svr OK 2 Svr KO
c ) Is it any CDE file related to this matter that i need to modify ?
d ) Do try to disable the DNS Setting ( via /etc/resolv.conf )and relogin back,is OK no problem with the above msg.

Please help ... TQ

does the DNS resolve the address of the machine where you are running reflection from OK?

[Zulkarnain Bin Salim]

Yes. The DNS already resolve the address of the machine. Since i have 4 Svr HPUX 11.11 and 2 HPUX Server is ok but the other 2 having the above error.

I believe you can try login in failsafe session. If you are successful then you can logout and login in normal mode without problems.
Or you can enter the name and IP number in your /etc/hosts.
The problem I experienced using my server connected to the internet is that the CDE login screen will appear and after I entered the Id and password it will appear like it is loggin in and then it will return to the login screen without any errors.
To resolve my problem I entered the WAN IP address and the WAN name in the /etc/hosts. Since then I did not have any problems login with Exceed

I hope it helps.
