odbc, iwp, Einsatz/Konfigurationsfehler -30 java.net-SocketException: Network unreachable: connect

[kapitaen]

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

Very strange problem. See thefmkb.com/7029 for some possible information.

BTW, Server 9 is not certified for Vista. Server 10 runs in single machine frployment only on Vista Business.

Hi"Old Man",

thank you for your hint. But it is surely not jre problem. Installed on the server is jre 6u7, and for ensuring it is not corrupted installation i already deinstalled 6u7 and reinstalled it. It didnt help.

And the OS the fm server 9adv is running on is a windows server 2003, and not vista.

Yesterday i made another installation of the fm server on another machine and redirected all requests to this machine. So i won some time to solve the problem (i hope more time than three weeks of the first one : ).

Some weeks before i already had problems on the same machine with filemaker server 9a and odbc connection. And the symptoms have been nearly the same. Filemaker management console said that odbc is started, but netstat and tcpview told me that nothing listens to port 2399. That first occurence i managed by deinstalling and reinstalling fm server to solve the problem. For exactly three weeks.

This time the same, nothing listens to 2399, console sais odbc is started, and additional the error message as in the subject. But no success after de- and reinstalling.

greetings from germany
