Need help on an issue

[mohamism]

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy a snapshot (under Staging Sandbox of a web project) from Web Client but always getting "deployment failed" whatever value is mentioned in "deploy To" field of Web Project properties. I tried providing hostname as well as ip address. I'm using 2.1.1 enterprise version of Alfresco.

I'm seeing the following exception in the logs of Alfresco:

15:21:08,944 ERROR [avm.actions.AVMDeploySnapshotAction] org.alfresco.service.cmr.avm.AVMException: Could not Initialize Remote Connection to 144.203.239.61

Do you have an Alfresco Runtime (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deployment#Alfresco_To_Alfresco_Deployment_.28ASR.29) running on the host with IP address 144.203.239.61?

If you intended to deploy content to a vanilla filesystem, you would need to install a FileSystem Receiver (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deployment#Alfresco_To_File_Server_Deployment_.28FSR.29) on that host instead, and in the "Deploy To" box use the syntax "\\144.203.239.61" or "\\[hostname]" (where hostname is the hostname of the host with IP address 144.203.239.61).  The online help for the "Deploy To" field gives more details on this weird syntax (which has thankfully been replaced in 2.2+ with a much more sensible configuration UI).

The upshot is that in order to deploy to a host, you need to have an Alfresco component (either an ASR or an FSR or both) running on that host.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply.
It helped me to verify the same on Windows with the community edition.

1) Is there an ASR for enterprise edition as well? I'm using Alfresco Enterprise Network 2.1.1?

2) Also, I have one more issue while previewing web site in Sandbox.
The preview URL is "http://alfrescosample.www--sandbox.144-203-239-61.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/". An error of "The page Cannot be displayed" is observed. At the bottom Cannot find server or DNS error is observed. There is a proxy involved. Can it be an issue?
