[ome-users] OMERO.client cannot connect to OMERO.server on different (ome-users Digest, Vol 36, Issue 5)

[Matthias Dunda]

Hi there -

we encountered a similar issue:

When connecting to an OMERO server which is not in the DNS, the name of that server must be entered in the client's local hosts file (even in Windows).

It seems like that the client connects to the server via IP, the application server answers with its name and then the client wants to use this name for further connections.... and either it should find it in the DNS or the etc-hosts...

Cheers
Matthias

Thank you for the hint, but /etc/hosts seems to look fine.
I've solved the problem:

When I opened the client and entered the IP of the server's machine, the client answered
"Server is probably down". The same thing happened, when I used the server's
hostname instead of its IP.
But: when I change the server's hostname into
its IP (in other words: set hostname = IP), then everything works fine.

I first supposed, that the client interprets the IP as hostname-string, but that doesn't
answer the question why the hostname doesn't work either.

Now, that OMERO.server runs on my test system, I've decided to decouple the
server from the database, which also works very good and makes the whole system
more flexible.
