Newbie: Using Caché for First Time

[ddspell-m3]

My background: I've been a Pick programmer since 1987 when I started
with Prime INFORMATION. Since that time, I've used uniVerse and
currently, I'm using D3. Now I'm trying Caché.

I've downloaded and installed the software on Windows XP Pro. I
believe the database engine is running. I have a multivalue cube in my
system tray. I right click on it and select terminal. A blue window
appears and immediately, an error pops up.

The popup is titled "NTI Connection Error" and the message says:
cn_iptcp:127.0.0.1[23]
10061: [WINSOCK] host forcefully rejected connection request

Occurred in NTI::Connect()

I'm guessing that this may be a firewall issue, eh? However, I added
port 23 as an exception on my workstation. It appears to not have made
any difference.


Thanks,
Danny

One thing to try would be go into the System Management Portal.  Select Security Management and then Services and make sure that the Telnet service is enabled.  Under Home-Configuration-Advanced Settings you should also see the Telnet Port configuration (default of 23).

Thanks, I just tried it (http://127.0.0.1/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp), but
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

Maybe something isn't installed correctly.

Hi Danny,

I believe the telnet service is not activated.

Start the System Management Portal (SMP) and go to security
management/services and click on the Telnet service. Check the activate box.

I'm not sure if the points I've mentioned are named correctly. I've
translated them from my German Caché installation. But it should give you
the idea.

Alex

Click on the Caché cube/System Management Portal. This should start it with
the built in Apache server usually running on Port 57772.

The URL should look like this: http://localhost:8872/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp

Sometimes we get this problem, this problem is because of windows not able to connect using winsock layer due to corruption in Winsock DB.  There is a documented issue in Microsft support site. Good news is you can recover from this problem whenever it happens.

 

These are symptoms of truly winsock issue:

 

a. You are not able to connect to your local host (127.0.0.1), cache terminal throws up winsock issue

b. You could face the same problem when you try to access any configured local web site through IE (127.0.0.1). (note this doesnot indicate that there is a winsock issue)

 

Resolution:

 

To repair Winsock if you have Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed, type netsh winsock reset at the command prompt, and then press ENTER

 

Detailed technical material about how to recover from this issue is documented 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936211/)

Hope this helps!

regards

Tried what you suggested, but that didn't work. I think I need to
start over.

Okay, I downloaded the latest version (offline) and installed it. It
said it installed successfully.

When it tried to take me to the Getting Started web page, I got an
HTTP 500 error. So now I'm thinking that the web server isn't running.
Isn't that supposed to start automatically as part of the install?

This is starting to get a little frustrating.

Okay, I'm pretty certain that I don't have a web server running.
However, according to the tutorial, Caché includes a light-weight,
built-in HTTP server. Although, it appears that isn't working.

So it looks like I don't have IIS installed/running, Apache installed/
running or Caché's web server running. So how do I remedy this?


Thanks,
Danny

Never mind. I got some help from InterSystems. They said it was
probably a security issue. Actually, I had tried this once before last
year and had abandoned it. This is my second time and instead of doing
a new install, I had tried to just upgrade what I had. Apparently,
that installation was a mess, so the solution was to do a new install.

I've gone through the MV tutorial and I'm happy with what I've seen so
far.

I noticed in your thread you mention MV. I wanted to let you know about
an additional resource for your MV specific issues with Cache'(you may
already know, but just in case).

http://groups.google.com/group/InterSystems-MV/topics

Jon,


Thanks, I guess I posted to the wrong newsgroup.


Regards,
Danny

[Jon Jensen]

I think your post here was appropriate - you wanted info about the
setup/config/etc.

I had just wanted to let you know about a group for MV specific issues
in Cache'(once you are up and running)
