• "connection refused" with R9.0.1 version of xPages Extension Library

    By Gilles REBIERE 10 years ago

    After installing this latest version(9.0.1) everything works with a web browser (Domino server or local) but the same application XPages in Notes Client doesn't works.

    I have the error “connection refused”. I add that this application works perfectly on R8.5.3 worstation. (Notes client and HTTP).

    Do you have any idea?

      That's sounds a bit vague Gilles.
      Could you provide any more details of the error? Check the log files in “\Data\workspace\logs”

      Or send a sample application that we can reproduce the error with?

        it seems not to have any error in logs. I try to open “Xpage extension library demo”.
        It's on with Chrome but not ok with Notes client.

        Here is a screenshot :
        Thank you for your help. (My proxy conf. is ok)

          Looks like something is blocking access to 127.0.0.1 - maybe as a result of the 901 installation - and thus XPages cannot connect to the built-in local web container.

          If you do not have an http proxy set, can you check two more things?

          a) Is this line “com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.webapi/startWebContainer=false” present in the following file (it is by default, I believe). It is set to false so that other components do not start the web container too early.
          \framework\rcp\plugin_customization.ini

          b) Also can you open this file (\workspace.config\rcpinstall.properties) and look for a couple of entries and let me know what they are set to - if present:
          -Dcom.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.ssl.configfile
          -Dcom.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.port

            Thank you fot your reply but, unfortunately, it does not fix anything.

            a)This line “com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.webapi/startWebContainer=false” is present in “\framework\rcp\plugin_customization.ini”
            b)I have only the second line(-Dcom.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.port).
            The first is missing.
            Here are 4 lines which begins like this :
            -Dcom.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.useLocalAddress=true
            …/…
            -Dcom.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.http.address=localhost
            …/…
            -Dcom.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.port=0,59449
            …/…
            -Dcom.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.vhost.configfile=${rcp.home}/shared/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.webapi_8.5.2.20130926-0645/virtualhost.properties

            thank you for your help.

              The com.ibm.pvc.webcontainer entries look standard - not sure why access to the local web container is blocked.

              I assume you can open Notes Help in the client (which also loads the local web container) ? As in: Help > Help Contents
              If help comes up you should see localhost URLs in the bottom status bar by running your mouse over the navigator entries - like so:


              Can you try this and confirm or otherwise?

              If that's ok, then maybe you can show me the contents of the virtualhosts.properties file referenced in the
              com.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.vhost.configfile entry. Maybe that has an entry that is blocking local access.

              That's all I can think of for now -M

                here is, it's ok :

                but i don't have any “com.ibm.pvc.webcontainer.vhost.configfile” as can be seen below :


                thanks for your help.

      Maybe the new Notes client installation has been configured with restrictions to the http proxy?

      The XPiNC app must make a HTTP request to the local web container in order to run - if there are HTTP access restrictions set in the Notes client via the user's http proxy configuration, then this will impact the XPiNC application.

      Can you check this out? File > Preferences > Locations > Edit (current) > Proxy Configuration

      Is there anything in the HTTP proxy address field?
