Timeout waiting for DECterm controller?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I got the following error when i try to create a DECterm:
 
$create/term=decterm/display=128.251.45.52:0.0/detach
 
%DECW-E-TIMEOUT_CONTROL, Timeout waiting for DECterm controller to start
 
I'm running VAXmotif 1.2.4 ECO patches applied! (VAXMOTF02_U4012)
 
How can i solve that?

The Answer is :

 
  Ensure that AUTOGEN has been run and that the system parameters and
  process quotas are set to the required minimum values for the TCP/IP
  and DECwindows packages, or higher.
 
  Is there any relevent information in DECW$SERVER_*_ERROR.LOG?
 
  Perform the following commands before starting any DECterm terminals:
 
    $ define/job decterm_diag yes
    $ define/job decw$decterm_output decterm.log
 
  [These commands can and must be performed BEFORE any DECterm controller
  process starts up.]  Examine the contents of the log after the failure.
 
  Also SET DISPLAY and then see if a tool such as ICO works:
 
    $ run decw$examples:ico
 
  Also ensure that the IP transport is configured correctly for whichever
  TCP/IP package is installed, and that the package is running the current
  ECO (in the case of OpenVMS VAX, this would be TCP/IP Services V5.0A),
  and DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS is set correctly.
 
  If the problem persists, please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center
  for assistance.
