Two projects running in the same machine

[nmnogueira]

Hi,

I am trying to put two projects running in the same machine. They form a distributed system with 2 systems.
I managed to get both projects running by changing all the ports in one of the projects, with only one problem: I cannot get the connections between projects to work, i.e. the distributed system is not established.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks!

Please note that running two projects on the same machine is officially not supported.
Every project has to be started on its own computer/virtual machine.

Why do you want to start two projects on one machine?
Is it a setup used in a plant or developing environment?

To get a connection between the distributed systems you have to change the distPort. At the distPeer-entry you have to define which port the other project is using.

Thanks Leopold.

I had the system working fine on the final servers but I had to ship them to the site, and I wanted to keep working with the two projects in a single server.
So it's just for use in a development environment.

I already had the configuration for distPort and distPeer, and the connection is still not established.

If you do the following configuration the dist-system should work. The shown numbers are just examples, you can use also different ports:

In system 1:

[dist]
distPort = 4444

In system 2:

[dist]
distPeer = ":4444" 1
