Unable to start Host Manager

When attempting to start the host manager for the first time I receive the following error:

ERROR: Failed to Start the Mediator Host Manager…


I performed a custom install of the EntireX Mediator 7.3.1 with everything on Win 2k3 Server. I am running with the provided JBOSS-Tomcat servers.

As far as I can tell in the directions, there is no post configuration after install.

I took a look at the hostconfig.xml and there is not a property with the name of MANAGER.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

In the past, this problem has been related to a special character (such as an underscore ‘_’) in the host machine name. A circumvention is to either rename your machine (not always easy) or to add an alias for it in the /etc/hosts file and update the “setMediatorEnvironment.bat” file to use the alias.

A fix is included in the 7.3.1.1 path that should be available in the next week or so.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Mike
