Hi, 

I am currently working through the FME Server Tutorials, it is a very steep learning curve as I have only just installed FME Server on my PC and had zero server experience before now.

 

So I have it up and running, and I have several other devices connected to the same local network, and I am wanting to log into this server using another machine, but it is as though the server does not exist! the link can be accessed fine from the same machine, its just other machines that cannot access it ("Page not found")

 

I have double checked, I can successfully ping the machine, no worries at all.

 

So I have used the 'direct link' on another machine on my network (just replaced localhost:80 with 192.168.1.2), but it is returning a page not found.

Any thoughts on what may be going wrong here?

Can you try to ping the server from the client machine in a command window? That might help to show if a connection is possible.

You could also try 192.168.1.2:80 to ensure the right port is being used.

Hi Mark,

As mentioned the ping from secondary PC to 192.168.1.2 it works fine.

I then try ping 192.168.1.2:80, and I get 'please check the name and try again'.

 

Yet if I navigate to 192.168.1.2:80 on my host it opens the fme server interface no worries.

Hi, is the port #80 opened?

Hi, is the port #80 opened?

So I made an assumption that the firewall allowed local machines to access each other, as they are all on the 'private network'. After a quick google search, I added port 80 to be an acceptable inbound port for local machines, and now it works perfectly. Very happy as its working as expected!

 

thanks heaps for the suggestion!
