Having nodes talk to each other.

Hello Chandrashekhar,

I ran epmd -debug and on the Tru64 I do not see the "got PORT2_REQ" when I
execute the net_adm:ping('n2@REDACTED'). from the n1 shell.

Any further ideas?

Thanx so far,

Louis

Check the cookie the nodes are actually using to be really sure.

(abcd@REDACTED)2> erlang:get_cookie().
'KJRLCCCBTWIDUUUIHMWT'
(abcd@REDACTED)3>

Make sure they are both the same. You can run epmd in debug mode. Shutdown
your erlang nodes, kill epmd, and start it up again using 

epmd -debug

Then start your erlang shells and see what is happening. 

cheers
Chandru

Hello,

I have seen messages here concerning the problem I'm having, from the
responses I have read, I conclude my problem is different or is it .....

I'm having difficulty getting two Erlang nodes on the same machine
communicate with each other. net_adm:ping('n1@REDACTED'). fails from n2 and vise
versa. I'm starting the two erlang nodes with '> erl -sname n1' and '> erl
-sname n2' respectively. Before starting I had edited the .erlang.cookie
file in my HOME directory to contain mycookie without quotes. In my
experience this in enough to get two nodes communicating.

The installation where this fails is a Tru64 running R9 (it compiled without
problems). Both nodes create a listen port in the TCP stack, but I never see
a connection being established.

Am I overlooking some simple configuration item or ....?

Is there a switch, ... that instructs erl to write some debuging/traceing
information concerning connections and/or connection attempts and failure
causes?

Regards,

Louis van der Stam
