Hello,

I canot connect a client PC to a Palo Server. I have the manual of version 2.0.

I have one Virtual PC (2007) running the Palo Server (verision 2.0). I think the server works fine, I can browse http://127.0.0.1:7777, run the Excel Addin. The virtual machine is a Win2000 machine, Office XP. I can make a connection to the server with user admin, password also admin.

My laptop (Vista) has only the Palo client installed (I disabled the server on setup), Office 2003. So, I would like to connect to the server which is running in the virtual PC on the laptop.

I can ping the server, however, I cannot connect with Palo. I cannot connect with http:\\computername:7777 (maybe this is not supposed to work, I do not know) either. I tried with computername and IP-address.

I can connect to a shared folder on the virtual pc, so, there is connectivity.

What am I doing wrong?

I must test client and server, as a Win2003 SBS will be the Palo-Server and a Win2003 Terminal Server will be the client.

Hello Holger,

thank you for your quick answer! However, I cannot connect from server to server (!) with these settings in my palo.ini, I tried each setting alone:


http virtual2k 7777

http "192.9.200.50" 7777

http 192.9.200.50 7777


Only http://127.0.0.1:7777 works in the browsers. And I canot connect remotely. http://localhost:7777 does not work, too.

I get errors like "111 connection refused".

PS:

The serve does not react at all on changes in palo.ini, I tried

http "127.0.0.1" 7771

but it is still working on http://127.0.0.1:7777
(I restarted the server).

BTW: During setup I changed the path to the database to C:\palodata.

Maybe Palo does not find its ini-file??

Hello,

ok, the problem is the changed data folder. Let's call it a feature of the setup procedure.

The service has the following path to the exe file:
"C:\Programme\Jedox\Palo-Server\palo.exe" --start-service --service-name "PALOServerService" --data "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Dokumente\Jedox\Palo\data"

There, you can see the wrong data-directory.

I stopped the service and started it manually with the correct data-directory and it worked, from the remote browser and from Excel.

How can I change the setting of the service? The line is greyed out, so I cannot change it directly. Ok, I found it in the registry, HKLM/System/Controlset001 /Services/PaloServerService /ImagePath

you are right, this is why it is a BUG, not a feature
