I’ve been having a lot of problems with Vine Server since upgrading to Leopard. I made sure I’m running the latest version (3.0 (1016)).
Most often I simply can’t connect to it and I’ll get an error on the client: “unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)”. When I look at the machine locally, I find that either the server has simply stopped with no explanatation or, lately, the message “Screen Resolution changed - Server Reinitialized”. In either case, the server doesn’t seem to restart itself, but manually doing so will work for a while.
A bit of background, for what it’s worth: We use our machine to manage 8 users, all of whom need remote connectivity. So we actually have 8 instances of Vine Server running, each on its own port. (We just copied the application into each user’s home folder to run their instance from there.) This has generally worked very well for us.
[quote=“JonathanOSX”]Interesting… first can you verify that “Restart server if it stops unexpectedly” is checked?[/quote]Thanks for the reply, and sorry I didn’t mention that. That’s been checked (and double-checked ;)) lots of times while figuring this out on our end.
[quote=“JonathanOSX”]k, I figured so – it seems like there might be a bug in there. I’m looking into the problem now and will let you know.[/quote]Thanks so much. Let me know if I can test anything–beta packages and the like. I’m pretty open to anything at this point.
im having the same issue. I am running 3.0 and have the option start server(not system server) and for display number 1 and port 5901.
Start server when application launches and have this for my login startup.
When the application launches it does not start the server. I have to come in on port 5901 (apples remote desktop) and restart the Vine server application. This worked fine in 2.x.
With the release version and System Server turned on with the default settings, I could make a connection to the Mac login screen, select my username and enter a password, but then I lost the connection, as reported in an earlier post.
I then changed to the beta version, but with this (and exactly the same settings) I cannot connect to the login screen. My VNC client says connection timed out. Reading above, I then changed the port to 5902 and the display to 2. With this I still cannot connect, but now it says connection refused, instead of timed-out. If I then login manually to the mac, as soon as I login it comes up with a dialogue box requesting permission to accept incoming connections.
With either the release or beta version, everything works fine if I log in to the mac manually and then start the Vine server.
I’d be glad of any suggestions of how to get this working. Thanks
Thanks again for the update!
