Hi,

I chaged my domain name and reinstall the Windchill PDME 10.2. The Installation and configuration was successfull but when I try to open my windchill in client I get an error. The page cant be displayed.

The remote device or resource won't accept the connection.

The device or resource (mycompany.mydomain) is not set up to accept connections on port "hosts2-ns".

Anyone knows how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Hi,

The path to the Hosts file in Windows

%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\

And you can add your production server ip like this

64.49.219.194 www.domain.com

64.49.219.194 domain.com

If you're in unix environment

sudo vi /etc/hosts
# You'll be prompted for your account password
# Press the down arrow past any # comments to get to the list of hosts
i
# pressing i puts you into insert mode
# press return and up arrow to create a blank line
128.117.224.210 www.scd.ucar.edu
# press the escape key
:wq!
sudo killall -HUP lookupd

Does it look like it's trying to connect using the old domain?

Are there any error in the Method Server log? Check the log and make sure that the Method Server is starting up successfully. If it is, then try opening a web browser directly on the Windchill server. Are you able to access the Windchill URL from the local machine?

Sounds like a Monolithic system. As you are hitting the server locally it works and doesn't work from your or client machine. If that's the case then add the hostname of Windchill in Client's host file and see if that solves the purpose.
