hi all,
i have a funny problem with fm server 9 adv and odbc and iwp. I´m not sure if it is a odbc/iwp specific problem, so i post it here.
exactly 3 weeks ago, i installed fm server 9a (the version from technet), with iwp switched on and odbc switched on. All worked fine and well for exactly three weeks. Then over night, no changes made, no patches installed, nothing reconfigured, i first have seen that i lost odbc connection to this server. I checked java (it is 6.7), i tried to deinstall fms 9a, reinstalled it, tried to install fms10a. No chance. No odbc connection, no iwp.
All i can see is that odbc gets no connection, and iwp is down.
When i try to "Servereinsatz bearbeiten", i finally get the error message as seen in the subject.
When i use netstat or tcpview, i see that there is nothing listening to port 2399, but the filemaker server management console tells me that odbc is on.
Then i thought ... hmm, the windows server i have running my filemaker server is a virtual machine. And i have backed up the disk images just one day after the sucessfull installation.
So i restored the working, three weeks old copy. Nope. Same problems.
Is there a three week expiration date build into the Technet Version?
Next steps i want to do is trying to deinstall and reinstall java. Is there someone who has better ideas?
greetings from germany
Chris
