Could not connect to SuperContainer server

Getting an error under Windows but not Mac:

"Could not connect to SuperContainer server:

java.io.IOException: Unable to connect to http://myserver.tld:8080/SuperContainer/Files/. Verify that the port number is correct. For standalone usage, the default is 8020. For tomcat deployment, the default port is 80."

Running SC 2.75 under OS X Server 10.5.8 via Tomcat. Everything works fine via Macs and the port is 8080. Windows can see http://myserver.tld:8080/SuperContainer/ but throws that error in any /Files/ path. Windows client is updated to build 1.6.0_21-b07.

This sounds puzzling. Is your SuperContainer deployment publicly accessible?

Yep, have been hitting SC pretty hard both via FileMaker Web Viewer and directly via web browsers from many different locations, but mostly Safari. This was the first time I saw Explorer fail.

We're doing some demos and testing for a Windows environment and hope to persuade the client to purchase an Enterprise License of SC, so I'd like to sort it out for both of our benefit.

BTW, we're testing from Windows Server 2003 R2, Standard Edition, Service Pack 2 and IE 8. If I understand how the Web View works IE will be the browser engine, so if it doesn't work in IE then it won't work in FileMaker on the same system.

Thanks,

Thanks Valentin, problem appears to have corrected itself. Just a guess, but I think a reboot after the Java update is what did it. This is a shared Terminal Services system so a mid-day reboot isn't easy.

Thanks again,
