Admin Server Connection Error

[bmnation]

I am unable to get FMS9 admin working after a clean install of FMS9 with the v2 update running on clean install of Mac OS 10.4.10 Server. I keep getting the error "The admin console cannot establish a connection the admin server". I have tried from the server machine and from a Intel iMac running 10.4.10 as well. FMServer is running but I am unable to finish setting it up.

Port 16000 available on the local machine? The console needs that.

I'm getting exatcly the same issue after installing the V2 updated for FMS 9 a few days ago.

the first time we opened the admin console it worked fine, but now we're getting 'Admin Server Connection Error the admin console cannot...

I've just read another post about a similar issue with proxy servers and saw that a user solved the issue by reverting to R1 of FMS9.

I think this could well be a problem with the V2 update of FMS9 and i think it should be brought to FM's attention.

My question in the meantime is - is there any other way to open the admin console? Our problem is that FMS9 appears to be runnning fine and is serving up DBs but we have no control over the files and we don't want to risk restarting our box whilst users are logged in.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Hi

further to my last post we have managed to restart the server and the console is working again.

Upon the server re-booting we had a nofitication that that the java service that the FMS9 console runs on had crashed on the box yesterdaty, so the console was down.

I guess this means the problem is unrelated to the other issues I mentioned before.

However, the question I have now is - is there a way to check the status of the java service that runs the console? Am I able to restart this service without having to reboot the server next time?

I'm totally un sure of the name of the Java service as I didn't paty due attention to the notification (my priority was resotring the FMS service to the client machines).

Any information you could provide would be very helpful.

We have a windows box running SBS 2003 and FMS9 v2.

Many thanks

Just a reminder...this is not a supported OS.
