[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ASpace not accessible using browser

[Ben Finberg]

So although I'm not an ArchivesSpace expert (like, at ALL), I'm pretty decent at general computer troubleshooting. The fact that you couldn't run ArchivesSpace using the foreground batch file eliminates the Windows service as the culprit, so we're at least making a little progress.

A few initial thoughts/questions I have at this point:


*         What version of Windows are you running? Is it a dedicated PC for ArchivesSpace or is it running other services too? Is it a new Windows install or has it been around for a while?

*         As an experiment, have you tried totally disabling your Windows firewall(s), for all networks? Do you have 3rd party antivirus protection that might have a built-in firewall that's blocking the ArchivesSpace ports? Have you tried browsing both from a browser on the ArchivesSpace PC (to http://localhost:8081) and from another computer (to http://aspacePCname:8081)?

*         There was a thread on this newsgroup yesterday that mentioned an issue with multiple versions of Java causing a conflict. Take a peek in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java...do you see multiple jrexxx folders in there?

Yes, I am running Windows.

I stopped the Windows Service, then launched the ArchivesSpace.bat file
I then tried to access the app in the browser. Still no go.

Are you trying run it on Windows? If so, did you try launching it in the foreground, running ArchivesSpace.bat? This is a good first step in trying to isolate where things aren't working.

I have installed ASpace, set up the service and database using the instructions.
Service is running, ports have been added to the firewall for inbound access.

I am not able to connect to ASpace from a client browser or from a browser on the server.

There has to be a way to troubleshoot this, so if anyone has suggestions I would appreciate some assistance.
