Suggestions regarding Ignite error...

[Dan Copeland]

Admins,

I'm trying to setup an ignite server...I've installed the lateset version and gone through the initial setup. When I try to add a client, I get the following error:

ERROR: No response from Ignite-UX Server: "server_name"

Any suggestions?

Hello Frank,

can you give further informations like error messages, logfiles etc.
There could be various reasons like dns problems, net problems or problems with the user rights and so on.

regards
Dirk

See error message above.

Log file just contains the same error message.

Client is at a remote site from ignite server--all internal network though.

Are they on the same subnet???

If so, please provide IP's and subnetmasks and default gateway

live free or die

The error message indicates that you do not have the networking services set up correctly for Ignite to work.

Ignite requires NFS and tftp to be configured.
Use this guide as a checklist to verify these are set up correctly.

In addition, make sure there is not a problem with the server hostname:
# nslookup server_hostname (replace this with your hostname; it will return the ip address)
# nslookup ip_address (replace this with the ip address and the hostname should be returned)

It was a network issue. Reverse lookup for the ignite server did not work from the client.

Thanks,
