[389-users] Problems with accessing console

[Wendt, Trevor]

Regarding the timeout issue, I had the exact same problem with my console. It turned out to be a reverse DNS lookup failure for the remote console url I was using. I corrected DNS and all was good (using host entries does not work either). If you want to narrow it down, try connecting to the console on the local server (localhost) at your console port and see if it's fast or not. Don't forget to check your firewalls also. Sorry I can't help on your other questions...

Some more information, if I try to access the Adminstration server locally from master-new I get the following error message:
Failed to install a localcopy of 389-admin-1.1.jar or one of its supporting files.

Now before you shout package differences, that was one of the first things I checked and they are exactly the same on all servers old and new.

I have tried to fix the config but I still get the same errors.

If I try to access the admin server from another console run from master01 then I don't get the above missing package error but I do get a the following:
URL:
HTTP response timeout

So there is probably a missing string for the URL in the netscapedb... any ideas where it would be?

Regards
