Hi Vivian,

Do you have your access security files set up like the pvlist and access files?

If you don't set these up then you won't even get read access to PVs.

Hope this helps

Marty

Subject: running gateway on mac

 

Hi,

I’m trying to run gateway on my mac. I have PVs defined in EPICs, and
if I use caget locally, it works fine, but when I try to use gateway I get the
following message:

mac-130048:darwin-x86 odell$ caget Tracker:LV1:Status
CAC: Unable to connect because "Connection refused"
Channel connect timed out: 'Tracker:LV1:Status' not found.
CAC TCP socket linger set error was Invalid argument
CAC TCP socket shutdown error was Socket is not connected


I am using the following command to start the gateway:

 ./gateway -sport 5069 -server

I also have the following environment variables set:

EPICS_BASE=/Users/odell//base-3.15.7
EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=NO
EPICS_HOST_ARCH=darwin-x86
EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=
EPICS_CA_NAME_SERVERS=localhost:5069


The result I get is:

mac-130048:darwin-x86 odell$ caget Tracker:LV1:Status
CAC: Unable to connect because "Connection refused"
Channel connect timed out: 'Tracker:LV1:Status' not found.
CAC TCP socket linger set error was Invalid argument
CAC TCP socket shutdown error was Socket is not connected


I am using gateway 2.1.2. I get the same result with older versions
of gateway.

Any ideas of where to look for the problem?

thanks,
Vivian
