On the same machine where you're running gw you should find geturl.exe. Run
geturl http://ls.thunderstone.com/
what do you get? How long does it take?
What's your gw version?
gw -version
Sorry about the delay, we're wondering if your problem may be related to another we've seen recently and are working to replicate it and provide a solution. Will get back to you as soon as we can.
Try again now. If it still doesn't work try
gw -dns=sys -create
If still no go see that there's a file in your system32 directory called texissct.dll . There should be. Check the permissions on it. Make sure it has full control for everyone. (the .dll file might be marked hidden).
I tried again, and tried "gw -dns=sys -create" also. I got the same error (Cannot contact licence server) I got before. The permission on the texissct.dll is full control for everyone.
The NT version is 4.0 with Service Pack 4. I run gw in Dos window.
I deleted texissct.dll. I was be able to create the database using gw. But after running the gw, the texissact.dll is created again. I have to delete it again, so I can index the files. After finishing index, I went to "http://mydomain/scripts/texis.exe/webinator/search/" from my brower. I got error said "Can't create object file D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webinator\search.vtc:Permission denied." I checked the permission on search.vtc. It was read only on everybody. I changed the permission on that file to full control on everybody and tried again. I got the some error. By the way, everytime I hit the URL above. I have to delete the texissct.dll first.
I can't give you the IP address. It is inside the firewall. I can't send you the log file if you tell me which one you want.
The ip address is 156.45.8.87. Because it is inside of the firewall. You might not be able to find this ip address in your log file. Looking for the ip address start with 207.239.118....
This is a strange problem we have not experienced before with NT. NT Webinators generally work just fine. Hopefully the contents of that file will shed some light on it. Thanks for your patience.
