OBIEE Login Page Not Opening

Adi Md

Hi All

I installed standalone OBIEE on my machine for study purpose.

It worked for first day. But next day after shutdown of laptop overnight and then startup on morning when I tried to open the OBIEE Sign on page I am getting error message in Chrome -

The message says - "LPT-67 restricts the access to this page"

Is there any secutiry or firewall or anitvirus setup need to be done here?

Is there any loopback adaptor setting missing?

I tried using firefox and IE as well and get different errors.

I also noticed that weblogic also has got same issue.

Can someone help on this?

Thanks

Hi,

Well, you have to start from the beginning: is weblogic admin server up? is the managed server up? are the components up? Everything is green in Enterprise Manager? What does the logs tell you?

I am getting same error everywhere -

LPT-67 refused to connect

Nothing is connecting to this server

I am trying following link -

http://LPT-67:7001/em

http://LPT-67:7001/console

http://LPT-67:9704/analytics

All links are giving same message that connection refused.

Can you help me with this?

Hi Adi Md

When you shutdown the laptop, all the services that are installed locally will be down. you have to start them manually. till then you will not see any link (as above) working.

By looking at your port numbers, assuming it is 11g that you have installed in your laptop.

if I am right, start Weblogic, nodemanager, bi_server1 & opmn services.

once the weblogic is up and running, you can start bi_server1 from console (the first link from your list)

good luck!

I assume your browser know how to resolve LPT-67, right?

Then of course what nm.Mani said : did you start OBIEE ?

Because if your don't start it no chance to connect, it's not like Excel or things like that were you just open and close it like that ...

If you started then you must go back to check your log files.

Just a detail: what OS is your laptop and what version of OBIEE did you install?

If you are answering Windows 10 you can't also stop wasting time: not a single version of OBIEE is certified for Windows 10 (look at the certification matrix).

Last but not least: like always I can only recommend you to not install things like OBIEE on your laptop OS but use a virtualmachine instead. Virtualbox is free, you can easily have multiple versions of OBIEE and run the one you need at any point in time without having pieces of OBIEE installed all around your OS (it's an enterprise tool, so not supposed to be on a laptop OS).

Thaks for the info.

My machine is Windows 7.

My initial try was to install it on Oracle VM. But after certain days Oracle VM itself started throwing error. Hence I had to install this on laptop.

Also when I was trying to install on Oracle VM the Oracle VM is asking me to install Windows on VM first.

Now I could have tried with Ubuntu since it is free. But I do not know if I can install database and OBIEE on Ubuntu.

Very difficult to work with Oracle products on Windows machine.

Anyways thanks for the guidance, will let you know if I am successful or not.

True, on a vm you need to install the OS, for Windows I guess you can have trial periods for Windows Server installs etc.

On the linux side I would suggest Oracle Enterprise Linux. It's free (ok, never read all the license details but I'm kind of sure for personal usage it's free) and all the Oracle tools works fine on it. You can check on the certification matrix which version exactly (OEL6 for sure with OBIEE 11g, OEL7 not sure, better to check in detail the certification matrix).

You still didn't say which version you are using, but in Windows 7 it's supposed to work. The main issue with laptop installs is the IP address changing and so when you reboot your laptop and get a new IP any old reference to the old IP make things not working fine.

As :7001/console isn't working it means Weblogic Admin server doesn't even start, so check the logs. That's the best way to find out why and maybe fix your startup issue and OBIEE will work as installed.
