The message "Ping request could not find host server_name. Please check the name and try
again" usually occurs when a firewall or security setting is preventing certain communications
from the DMZ (demilitarized zone) to the main network or to trusted machines. A typical
example of this is when the Interviewing server can ping the Web server, but the Web server
cannot ping the Interviewing server.
Try connecting to the machine by typing
I want to check that SQL Server is running on the Database server but I cannot see the
server name in the list of servers
If there is a firewall or a DMZ boundary between the Interviewing server and the Database server,
you may not see the name of the Database server in the list of SQL servers displayed in the Create
a New Data Source to SQL Server dialog box. Just type the name of the Database server into the
Server box and the connection request will generally be allowed.
The location of the Web Site folder containing SPSSMR has changed since IBM SPSS
Data Collection Server applications were installed.
What changes do I need to make in order to continue using IBM SPSS Data Collection Server
applications?
If the location of the Web site on which you installed IBM SPSS Data Collection Server
applications changes after installation, you will need to move the IBM SPSS Data Collection
Server application and IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server Administration
application folders and the webctrl_client folder from the original Web site to the new one. You
will also need to change the pathname defined for the Interviewer Server Administration load
balancing configuration file in Interviewer Server Administration's Web.config file.
If the SPSSMR folder does not appear in the new Web site folder, copy it from the Web site folder
E
in which it was installed into the new location.
Move the webctrl_client folder from the original Web site folder into the new folder so it is at the
E
same level as the SPSSMR folder.
