Hi Lam,

 

Very weird happenings with my OS installation but all is well now. I
checked the firewall and iptables - both of which I disabled. But on
this particular install I had to add port 7070 and it works. Never ran
into this problem on my other installs but it works now. I have 2 more
installations to attempt so I'll let you know if I run into something
similar that may be work documenting for those of us running Linux
Capture-HPC servers.

Revert in infinite loop.

 

Hi Andre,
   I've got the same problem sometime, It can be:
   + vmware snapshot: if I reboot host operating system (Linux), I can
get this problem. I have to take a new snapshot (WinXP) to solve the
problem.
   + Firewall: Even I disable SELinux, but there is iptables still
working. 
   That's some points I have got since I used capture-hpc
   Just send your config.xml, others can have a look and share
experiences
Cheers,
Lam.

Hi Lam,

What's the point other that if the firewall has been completely
disabled?

Hi Andre,
  It seems firewall issue. If you use fedora 10, check firewall setting
and
add port 7070 (system-config-firewall)!
Cheers,
Lam.
