sorry took me a while to try this - been busy at websci :-)
As an aside, check your networking setup by doing a double-lookup on
hostname:
# dig +short cognac.elec.qmul.ac.uk
138.37.xx.xx
# dig +short -x $(dig +short cognac.elec.qmul.ac.uk)
first command gives the ip address. second command returns nothing.
is this right? what should be in host.conf? sorry i'm a server admin
noob :-)
I don't believe the second return is correct.
hostname is a command -- when wrapped in the ` characters, it
executes, and
its return gets substituted into the full command you're running.
Please copy and paste these three commands into your terminal session,
so
they run on the Virtuoso host, exactly as shown --
hostname
dig +short `hostname`
dig +short -x $(dig +short `hostname`)
For comparison, in my local environment, I get back --
macted$ hostname
dyn248.usnet.private
macted$ dig +short `hostname`
192.168.11.248
macted$ dig +short -x $(dig +short `hostname`)
dyn248.usnet.private.
macted$

[Hugh] In your virtuoso.ini configuration file what is the value of
the
"DefaultHost" param in the "[URIQA]" section as I do believe the
localhost:8890
[URIQA]
DynamicLocal = 1
DefaultHost = localhost:8890
tried changin this to hostname:80 and got the same old error.
localhost:8890 is only valid if the Web browser you're running can load
that URL -- including by local port forwarding -- which must be served
up
by the Virtuoso instance. This address generally only works when
running
all Web clients directly on the Virtuoso host.
hostname:80 is only valid if that has been set up with port-forwarding
and/or vhost or similar settings, such that it reaches hostname:8890
(presuming 8890 is the Virtuoso instance's HTTP port).
Generally speaking, this should be set to the fully-qualified domain
name
(and Virtuoso HTTP port) of the Virtuoso host server -- but that
presumes
that the host and port are generally addressable, not behind a firewall.
You'll need to set this to whatever <FQDN>:<port> can be used by both
the
Virtuoso instance itself *and* your end client to reach the Virtuoso
listener on that port.
Hope that helps,
Ted
