Hi, The problem is that this error message is returned for any problem which includes when the server is not running. The current message isn't very helpful in the case where the server isn't actually running.
Can you please create a trac ticket for this defect so that it can be looked at? Please see http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ Thanks, Bruce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christy Nieman Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 10:42 AM To: MapGuide Users Mail List Subject: Re: [mapguide-users] Getting Started Site Admin Problem Have you checked to make sure that the MapGuide service is running? I encountered this problem frequently under Windows 2000 - the service wouldn't get started automatically on reboot.
