[vwnc] Cannot connect to new GemStone installation

Dave Stevenson-3
I just got GemStone installed from the VW7.6NC distribution on my
notebook running 32 bit Vista, but I can't connect. It's my first
install, so I probably missed something.

I ran setup.exe for the GemStone server for Windows. I had the same
trouble reported by Diego last month, and even though I was installing
from the VW7.6 directory instead of a CD, copying the GemStone server
windows subdirectory somewhere else allowed setup.exe to run. I suspect
it did not like the space in the original source directory name:
"C:\Program Files\Cincom\vw7.6nc\...".

After running setup.exe I copied:
    englis61.err
    gcilw61.dll
    gcirw61.dll
    gsw61.dll
to $VISUALWORKS\bin\win and loaded GbsTools.pcl into my image. Somewhere
(can't remember exactly now) I fixed up libraryDirectories or $PATH or
something to see these libraries. Did I set the right value here?:
    GbsConfiguration current libraryName -> 'gcilw61.dll'
Then I ran a dos box as administrator and did:
    stone create /b
    netldi create /b /g /a
    stone start
    netldi start
and I verified that the following Windows services are now running:
    gemserver61
    netldi61
Finally I started a GemStone Session Browser, clicked add, and enterred:
    gemserver61
    DataCurator
    swordfish
    daves
    ********
    gemnetobject

When I save and click on 'Login Lnk', I get:
    Unhandled exception: GS Server Error - GbsNetErrNoSuchStn - could
not find server 'gemserver61' on host 'jessie' because: it does not exist.

When I try 'Login Rpc', I get:
    Unhandled exception: GS Server Error - GbsHostErrCantSpawn - Unable
to create a GemStone session. NetLDI service 'netldi61' is not running
on local machine ''

But both 'gemserver61' and 'netldi61' are in fact running on my local
machine (Jessie). What should I look at next?

Dave, you will probably get better mileage on the GemStone list.  I  
have never run GS on Vista, but on 2003 Server to make it work, you  
had to disable Windows DEP (data execution prevention).  After that it  
would work, but I think in rpc sessions only (maybe for a different  
reason? memory is a little fuzzy here).  One thing you can do to  
troubleshoot is to try a login from topaz (the command line tool, just  
type topaz at the dos prompt, see docs for details).  If you can login  
there, then the problem is in your gbs or image setup, if not, it's in  
your install or Windows setup.

Hope this helps,

Mike

BTW, you can get a free GemStone support account to browse the mailing  
list archives and troubleshooting docs etc from the GemStone website.
