Thread: minimum client request

I am trying to test bes++. "They" have freshly installed besserver on a
Windows HPC Server 2008. I've installed the besclient only on Ubuntu 9.04.

It looks like "factory...prints information about the BES service on stdout"
as a minimum command should tell me if I successfully connect.

% ./besclient -c /root/certs -e endpoint.xml -u gibson -p MrWhiskers factory
SOAP 1.1 fault: SOAP-ENV:Client [no subcode]
"Host not found"
Detail: [no detail]

What is the easiest command to just test that I am connecting to the server?
What is the easiest way to debug the connection?

What is in endpoint.xml? It should have the hostname of the BES service node.

For debugging, you can look at the debug trace file (TEST.log) or the log of sent and received SOAP messages (SENT.log/RECV.log) that are in the directory where you ran besclient.

My endpoint.xml contains ..... I hate typos.

I now seem to be facing a firewall problem. My workstation can't connect but the webserver, on a different subnet, can. Time to talk to network people.

I have a TEST.log and a RECV.log but no SENT.log

I am reading the previous post about self signed certificates and see if that solves my newest problem.

Thanks
