Hi,
Could you provide a few more details as to where this is failing and what kind of error messages you get? A look at the log files would help too.
Thank you,
Gruia
Certanly,
On the Colloquis Server Management Console Homepage i get the tutorial project in yellow and saying "Started"
On the Monitoring and Control for Tutorial i get : "Your agent is currently started"
In the Summary Grid : I only got the "Configuration grid" ( i saw on some tranning videos another grid showing below)
In the component view : No information available.
On the components log :

help please!!
Thanks for the logs.
>> Sep 11 17:44:01.03 (+0000) buddylauncher: Terminal error 0: Detection port lock timed out!
The line above indicates that a specific port is not available, which might be caused either by a software firewall (are you 100% sure no firewall or antivirus blocks executables in the platform bin directory, including the default windows firewall?) or might be a conflict with another running version of the platform (wild guess, but can you check if you have a previous install running at the same time?).
I hope this helps,
Fran?ois
I've be doing some tests disabeling the firewall and also uninstall and install back the sdk and i'm still having the same error!
Terminal error 0: Detection port lock timed out!
Any of the sample projects are ready for launching by just changing the screen name? I cant launch any of them!
Also, what is the dp_port in the buddy lancher settings and witch value should i give to it ?
Thanks
The dp_port parameter is a unique UDP port used for communication between components, you can specify any value really taht won't conflict with your typical intranet traffic: try 10001 (a value most likely not used).
As far as the "Detection port lock timed out" error:
we've seen this before with software firewalls that don't play nice.
You can always add the binaries (start with dpd.exe located in the bin directory of your install) in the list of exceptions in your windows firewall.
Also make sure that if the binaries are in the list of exceptions, they must have the checkbox checked (when it's unchecked, it means you don't allow this application to use ports).
Note that if you have an anti virus such as Norton or Symantec, they often have a software firewall built-in. We've seen cases before where even when it says it's disabled in the UI, the firewall is still denying ports to be bound by applications. The solution seemed to be to stop the firewall service completely.

Hello again,
i've made some tests : shutting down the windows firewall ; disabled the antivirus; assing the dp_port key with the value 10001, and it still doesn't work! I'm still getting this message:

Is there any kind of comunication from the outside to my computer?
Also can you give a glance on how the several components start ? If one enconters an error does the other still continues?
Any help please? I would really like to test my buddy live
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Would it be possible to try some of the other suggestions that were made by Nicolas in the previous post?
It's not clear if the following was tried (see post from Nicolas on more details):
- anti-virus service itself stopped (so not just disabling the application, but the actual service in services.msc)
- adding binaries in the list of exceptions (with checkbox checked accordingly)
Basically we are sure that a program on your machine (anti-virus or firewall or something similar) is blocking the port and hence you cannot connect. We have seen these kinds of issues before and that has always been the answer.
If you've tried the above, do you have access to a different machine you could run on?
Thank you,
Gruia
In did!
I installed the IDE at home and it worked just fine! Even with the firewall! Now lets see whats the problem at my companies computer!
Thanks for everything!
My best regards!!
At my company computer the problem was related with the anti-virus!
I've been able to add all the executables from the \bin directory to a "safe list" and it started to work fine!
Thanks for erveryting
My best regards
That is great to hear - now good luck with developing the agent
