Hi All,

being a beginner using EA server for PB powered web development
I wonder why I have to use the literally correct hostname of my local
EA server installation which is (according to some step in the setup)
the IP adress and can not use "localhost" or "127.0.0.1". No problem
here, just to get some insight.

TIA

Hi,

Which version of EA Server you are using?

If you are using Server version 5.2 or later you can change the access
mode of your EA server through EA Server Configuration Wizerd, means
you can change the way EA server is accessed. To access it by IP or by
host name use EA Server Configuration Wizerd and change it against
Specific Listerner Name for example http host name ${JAGUAR_HOST_NAME}
which is by default to ${JAGUAR_IP_ADDRESS} or to localhost.

this way you can access your EA Server by IP or by Host name.

Not sure if I understood your question but you can use localhost, you can
use the IP of the localhost, 127.0.0.1, You can use your Machine Name, or
the IP of you network interface with no problem.

Hi Asif,

thanks you very much for your answer. I'm using
EAS 5.5 and - sorry for my ignorance - have no clue
how to start the EA Server Configuration Wizard.

Thanks again

Hi Alexander,

you are right, I can connect to EAS using a browser regardless
which kind of addressing I use. But in EA Server Manager all
tries to use localhost or 127.0.0.1 are refused.

Kind regards

have you looked at your hosts file to check if it has localhost defined?

Have you checked if you don't have another service started in your
localhost:easerver_port, so if it so, EAServer will not be able to start the
listener, this kind of problem leave info in the Jaguar log.

Could you post the Jaguar Log?

To use EAServer Manager you will need an IIOP connection, Are you sure you
defined the listener as an IIOP listener?

Hi Adam,

thanks for your answer. Haven't checked that in the file
but the general availability of "localhost" as a host name
at my machine should to proove that it is defined, should'nt
it?

Kind regards

Hi Chris

This is the only listener IIOP you have in your log,

Jaguar_iiop: Active: yes Protocol: 'IIOP': 'DELLTOP',9000 Security Profile:
'*NONE*'.

This listener is set to work on DELLTOP port 9000, not in Localhost.

To create a Localhost listener, you should go to JagMgr, Server->Listener
and Add a new IIOP listener, you will put 127.0.0.1 or LOCALHOST as HOST.

Actually you have not defined any LOCALHOST listener in your server.

Best Regards

Hi,

For your question of how to start EA Server Configuration Wizerd.

follow these steps

Start EA Server
Connect Through EA Server Manager
in the right pane there is a Node called Servers....expand this node
you will get red colourd icon named "jaguar"
right click on "jaguar" and u will see option like Server
configuration Wizerd

there you can start Server configuration.

Hi Alexander,

thanks, that works now. BTW, is it correct to set
the new listener to the same port (9000) like these
other one for DELLTOP which is actually the
network name of my local host?

Technically... you can do it, you will not have any operational problem,
they are 2 completely different interfaces.

For security reason if you don't need the DELLTOP listener, mhumm... one
reason could be because you have your servlet engine in the same box, I
would remove it.

I will remove too any listener I'm not really using (for security reason).
