I will running Bixdata on a single machine with host being linux unbuntu and guest being windows2003 which part of the howto should I follow? radox
thanks for your post I installed agent and server on the linux host I have now arrived at the point in the howto where i am in the bixdata connections screen where i place my IP from my router which in this case is 192.168.1.64 but the log shows <11/06/06 20:42:14> Launched BixDesktop <11/06/06 20:45:00> Connecting to 192.168.1.64:7071 <11/06/06 20:45:01> Connecting to 192.168.1.64:7071 <11/06/06 20:45:01> Can't connect to 192.168.1.64:7071 <11/06/06 20:45:10> Connecting to 192.168.1.64:7071 <11/06/06 20:45:10> Connecting to 192.168.1.64:7071 <11/06/06 20:45:10> Can't connect to 192.168.1.64:7071 I
perhaps bixagent is not running on 192.168.1.64 (check with ps aux | grep bixagent) Try to install a bixagent on the same box as bixdesktop, and see if you can connect. Almost always this is a problem because agent is not running, or the machine you are trying to reach is behind a firewall / nat.
bixgent/bixserver ok this is what i got how . should i loginto to the bixserver ? you can see the 192.168.1.64 below which is my router. The other entry are a little strange as i have vmware onlinux with windows 20003 guest which has a NAT connection with IP address of 172.16.0.128 and default gateway of 172.16.0.2 vmware was NOT runing when i issued the command alex@xstation:~/bixdata/bixagent$ ./bixagent & alex@xstation:~$ cd bixdata/bixagent alex@xstation:~/bixdata/bixagent$ ./bixagent & [1] 12018 alex@xstation:~/bixdata/bixagent$ BixAgent version 2.6; Copyright 2004 - 2006 (http://www.bixdata.com) Using data path: /home/alex/bixdata/bixagent/data/ Warning, missing x509 or private key file.

yes that looks like the agent is running fine except for the SMART plugin which you probably don't need.
bixdata thanks for your post but you did not answer my question after starting bixdata agent as i have shown in my last post what next? when i run bixdata server there are two boxes server agent QUESTION 1 it seems that that IS SOMETHING GOING NO HERE OI WAS UNAWARE OF. if you look at the last post you will see an entry for 172.16.0.1 what is that as there are many process running on that I thought it a NAT connection on my vmware but its not as that IP is 172.16.0.128 and default gateway 172.16.0.2 RATHER than one sentence replies please say a little more? QUESTION2 why is it neccessary to run bixdate agent before running bixdata server?
