DESCRIPTION
===========
RTserver does not accept connections and the following is seen in the RTserver trace_file:

TAL-SS-10026-I Creating conn &lttcp> to listen for connections.
TAL-SS-10022-I Conn &lttcp> expands to &lttcp:FOO:5101>.
TAL-SS-05262-W unknown node FOO
TAL-SS-10105-E Could not create conn &lttcp:FOO:5101>: 'C'.

The user specified in the rtserver.cm file "TCP" as the connection name which will expand to tcp:&ltresults of gethostname>:5101

setopt conn_names "tcp"

The machine is configured to return FOO for hostname. When RTserver attempts to get the IP address with the gethostbyname call, RTserver does not get a valid IPv4 address for FOO.

Do a uname –a

Look in the /etc/hosts file for the hostname and IP address.

Do an ifconfig –a (if a single -a argument is given, it displays the status of all interfaces, even those that are down, else it configures an interface) to figure out why the machine is having configuration problems.

RESOLUTION
===========

Specify the nodename explicitly in the conn_names option in rtserver.cm.

setopt conn_names tcp:FOO:5101

What does the error "TAL-SS-05262-W TAL-SS-10105-E Could not create conn tcp:XXXX:5101: 'C'." mean?
