Cant access Console , Connection and Certificate issues

I have just updated from 15:**cldx to 17 2 days ago and all seems OK but I cant access the Console soon as it opens i get [Errno 111]…
I try to connect with Localhost, with host name of my system, tried a variety of passwords… though the only ones i am sure about are user and SU passwords…we don’t have a router password for cable…
Ive tried to get a certificate but as it wont connect it wont let me do that…
I installed my original 15:**** from a dvd iso and updated many times its only since the update i did when notification of 17 came out that this has happened…
I dont have the ability to burn a new dvd as this Comp has issues with burning and my other comps are in another country until i travel home in 3 months…
so how to i activate the certificate and console

“I posted this in general under someone elses topic of similar content”

This is the first real issue i have had with Calculate and the new 17 version looks and seems very good …Thank you

Did you install CLDX-15 or CLDX-15.17?

This is installed From cldx 15:12 i believe and updated to 15:17 and now to CLDX 17 J have never had any issues with the console before

i have tried to get a certificate from the Dialog boxes and also from the Terminal where i get this response

cl-console --gen-cert-by 192.168.0.56 --port 8888
https://192.168.0.56:8888/?wsdl
connecting…

Closing. Connection error.
Error:

I have a variety of Certs and key information in

/home/guest/.calculate/client_cert/

/etc/init.d/calculate-core status

Try to run if it stopped

Hi Thank you for your help

When I start the core I can access the console

When i use cl-console in the terminal it tells me i dont have a Certificate again though it is working in the GUI

calculate guest # cl-console
|You do not have a certificate. Use option --gen-cert-by HOST to generate a new request or --get-cert-from HOST to get a new certificate from the server.

when i run to get a cert from there i still the same errors

Error: <urlopen error [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname>

and

Request not sent or file /root/.calculate/client_cert/req_id deleted

Everything else seems to be working perfectly

Thank you again

What does /etc/hosts contain?

You can re-create calculate utilities server:

/etc/init.d/calculate-core stop
rm -r /var/calculate/server
cl-core -b guest
/etc/init.d/calculate-core stop

The host file contains

127.0.0.1   calculate.local calculate localhost

so does that mean its blocking itself from connecting… I didnt realise Linux used hosts files

when i reboot i have to

/etc/init.d/calculate-core start 

to get the console working…and still get the refusal to connect to get certificate

but after the other script

calculate guest # /etc/init.d/calculate-core stop
calculate-core   | * Stop calculate core ...                              [ ok ]
calculate guest # rm -r /var/calculate/server
calculate guest # cl-core -b guest

Certificate /var/calculate/server/client_certs/1.crt is signed
Certificate saved. Your certificate ID: 1

so it is getting some connection to get a certificate.

I did not notice that you were trying to run cl-console under root. cl-console is used to run Calculate utilities by user (at example guest). Or is 192.168.0.56 other computer?

It doesn’t connect under either root or user, though i have to use “SU” to start calculate-core…
i am not sure where that IP 192.168.0.56 actually came from it may have been from the documents page on certificates…

obviously the GUI isnt connecting to wherever its supposed to but it was pre my update to CLDX 17 what IP should it connect to and how do i change it

this is getting confusing…maybe i should just reinstall my cldx 15:12 again that worked and so did cldx15:17 something must have changed in ClDX 17 I thought it would have kept all my settings as i updated and everything else works
