Problem connecting to Ubuntu server from OS X console

Hi - I'm pretty new to this - I seem to have reached an impasse configuring my new Serviio 0.5.2 server.

My setup is as follows (with no firewall activated on any machine):

- Serviio server running on a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit (IP address 192.168.0.10).
- Serviio console running on Mac OS X 10.7.3
- Sony SMP-N200 media player to play .mp3's stored on the server

I appear to have successfully installed the server using these instructions with confirmation as follows:

  Code:

~$ initctl list | grep serviio
serviio start/running, process 785
~$ sudo netstat -anltp | grep "23423"
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:23423         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      797/java


I've updated the server's hosts file as per these instructions.

On the Mac (on which I've installed the console) I have amended the Info.plist file as follows:

  Code:

<key>Properties</key>
      <dict>
         <key>serviio.home</key>
         <string>$JAVAROOT</string>
         <key>java.net.preferIPv4Stack</key>
         <string>true</string>
         <key>serviio.remoteHost</key>
         <string>192.168.0.10</string>
      </dict>


Attempting to launch the console, I get an error message stating, "Cannot connect to Serviio server, it does not seem to be running. Exiting..."

serviio.log reads:

  Code:

2012-03-25 22:07:54,156 INFO  [ServiioConsole] Starting Serviio Console

2012-03-25 22:09:16,834 INFO  [ServiioConsole] Leaving Serviio Console


The media player detects the Serviio server correctly, but cannot be used properly until I can point the server at my content.

I've obviously missed something, but I cannot find what it is!

I'd be very grateful for a pointer to what I expect is a simple solution to the problem.

Many thanks.

can you open this URL on your Mac?

  Code:

http://192.168.0.10:23423/rest/application


If not, can you ping 192.168.0.10 from your Mac? If not, it must be related to your hosts file or some other networking issue.

Thanks very much for the reply.

Are you using 0.6.2 or 0.5.2 ?

Hi Petr - I've changed to 0.6.2, but am still having the same problem.

Looks like the server side is not right - the hosts file. Serviio should not bind to the loopback IP address, rather it should bund to either *:23423 or extarnal_IP:23423

Alternatively you can use one of the web based UI's instead of the remote console.

Seemed to take a reboot on the server for it to pick up the change to the hosts file.

The remote console on the Macbook is now working great, than you.
