That logs indicates a ‘unknown host exception’ - Are you able to ping the Openfire server by name from the Windows client? Does it work by IP? If not, does it give a different error? Can you telnet to the openfire server on port 5222 from the client to verify the correct firewall holes are open?

prasanna1 · May 5, 2012, 12:13pm

Firstly let me know one thing weather can i connect to openfire server from

i connected to spark from the same system where i installed server and there was no problem.only the problem is when i tried from remote server.(error:server not found).

David29 · May 5, 2012, 1:27pm

Sounds like you still have a DNS problem - Can you connect to it by IP?

prasanna1 · May 5, 2012, 1:31pm

no,the same problem when tried using IP address

prasanna1 · May 5, 2012, 1:42pm

what to do know??

thax in advance

David29 · May 5, 2012, 1:43pm

What happens if you try to telnet to port 5222 on the IP address you specify? If you are connecting by IP, you should not get a unknown host error, although you may have a different problem - I assume you can ping the IP from the client?

prasanna1 · May 5, 2012, 1:52pm

when i tried to connect from spark client from the same machine where server is hosted

1)in place of server name field-LOCALHOST then no problem it connected.

2)in place of server name field-IP address of my system then error:can’t connect to the server :invalid name r server not reachable.

Ans is my system IP address same to server IP address here??

prasanna1 · May 5, 2012, 2:07pm

i hope you understood what’s the problem is.Let me know the solution

David29 · May 5, 2012, 2:19pm

not reachable indicates you have a networking issue. i presume you can’t ping it either. solve that then try again.

prasanna1 · May 5, 2012, 2:28pm

If you dn’t mind can you explain me clearly what to do i didn’t get you.plzz let me know clearly

prasanna1 · May 5, 2012, 2:30pm

can it detect the system which is not in the same LAN??

David29 · May 5, 2012, 2:32pm

If you use DNS, yes it can. but your DNS is not setup properly.

Can you ping your openfire server from whtever you are using as a client? Maybe if you actually post some details, someone can help. You have a network issue, and need to solve that before you can get openfire/spark to work. No one here knows how your network is setup, so you either need to post a bunch of information to aid in troubleshooting that, or fix it and come back when you have the basics working.

I have a similar problem but different logs. I cant telnet openfire server on port 5222.

But i think the problem could be something else, as when I try logging using spark in from some others system I still get the same error, but my friend can login through spark.

Can you please help me on this. The client log which is get is on this discussion

Thanks.

Simply put when you install openfire that is meant to be accessed by remote sites the server name given during the config must be a FQDN that can be looked up via the remote site. For example if you have a real world domain of www.somecompany.com your may make the openfire server openfire.somecompany.com and then add dns entries for the server accordingly. Then open port 5222 to the server.

Ashish_Sharma · September 25, 2012, 10:00pm

Actually that all is added already. Its just that its not working for my system in the whole organisation.

Everyone else is able to login and see contacts. Also all the contacts are accessed by Active Directory.

When i login i get the following error.

SEVERE:

No response from the server.:

Hey Ashish,

I’m having the same problem. Did you find out what was wrong?

I can consistently reproduse the problem with the current version of spark and the beta.

The error only shows up when connecting to a server that is not running openfire 3.7.1.

Spark 2.6.3
