Inetenet connection to SIM 5.01

[Paul Condren]

Hi.

Ive installed SIM 5.1 on and hp-ux 11 server from the depot, and ran /opt/mx/bin/mxstart but when I try and connect from my desktop PC to http://>server>:280 I amd getting a "page connot be displayed" error. I get the same when using mozilla direct from the server.

Any ideas? Ive not used SIM before so amd starting from the ground up with a trial.

PS - I tied to install the 5.1 windows client but its not hgappy with NT4.0 (dont ask!)

cheers,

Paul.

Try connecting to https://:50000
That's the port it ends up using.
If you've got firewalls etc. in place then you'll need access on that port.

Rob - I get the same page cannot be displayed when using paort 50000 too.


Daniel - I dont have email access from my desk at work so time & access to the internet are limited. I appricialte everyones help and will make more effort to apply points in future.

That does indicate the service is not starting correctly. I'm not an HP-UX expert either so not sure where to look.

By giving me 10 points you've indicated the issue is resolved. You may want to try starting a new thread but with a different subject. Mention HPUX and not being able to access the home page.

Just to verify you did use https rather than http?
Does HPUX have a firewall, that could also block the server based mozilla.
