Standard proceedure for trouble-shooting this type of problem.

1. Start the executive from a command line with dx -execonly
2. Start the ui only from a different command line, dx -uionly.
3. Go to the Connect menu of the UI and click Connect..., push Options, and click on "Connect to already running server"
4. Click connect.

See what happens. If this fails, then you have some type of socket problem--like a firewall, etc. You can also try setting the environment variable DXHOST to unix. This will force all local communication.

Hello,

I recently compiled the dx4.2.0 sources with gcc3.2 on HP11.0 but cannot get it to work. When I e.g. from the dxui try to 'Run Visual Programs...' it always pops up a message saying unable to connect to dxexec. When I check the message window the dxexec does actually start:

Starting DX executive
Memory cache will use 2046 MB (126 for small iterms, 1920 for large)

port= 1900


I can e.g. do a 'telnet <machine> 1900' and connect to the dxexec but dx can't seem to and after a while the message window displays the message 'connection timed out' (this message I assume comes from the dxexec)

Does anyone have experience with this?

Regards,

Mattijs
