We recently upgraded our venue server to a new machine and now Venue Management does not connect locally and I do not know how to fix this. Any ideas?

Jeremy, This can be due to a disparity between the name or IP address which the venue server is using to make its services available and the name/ address being used to connect with the VenueManagement tool. For instance, if your server is offering its services as 192.168.100.100, then you can't connect using "localhost" (usually set to 127.0.0.1). There are some quirks with name setting in /etc/hosts (especially if using DHCP on the server machine) which can cause problems like this. Could you send me (perhaps privately) your venue server log file (~/.AccessGrid/Logs/VenueServer.log) - just a section showing the the server starting up and then a connection attempt from the VenueManagement tool (if the connection attempt appears in the venue server log file)? Also a copy of your /etc/hosts file? Also, what name are you using in the local VenueManagement tool that you're trying to connect with? BTW, you say you cannot connect locally; can you connect remotely? chris

System is Slack 12.1 with the latest 12.1 package from the vislab people.
