IceGrid / Icebox deployment questions

[rpeters]

Hi,

I am converting some test code that resembles your icebox hello sample to run inside an icegrid in an icebox. I created the icegrid, and initialized the registry. I can connect to it with the icegrid ui and see the live deployment.
I add a simple application with two iceboxes, and write it to the registry.
I can see it in the live deployment tab, but nothing ever runs. This app has correct paths to the icebox services that I tested in standalone mode.

The server properties buttons are all greyed out (see attached image), and the states are all unknown. I have restarted the icegrid to see if this matters, but it doesnt seem to.

How do I debug this, or what is wrong with this setup?

thanks
Rich

Hi Rich,

Your screenshot shows that your IceGrid node 'locahost' is down.

Are you running a separate icegridnode.exe, or IceGrid node as a Windows service? You'll want to check its configuration and make sure it registers with your IceGrid registry. It will then appear with a green icon (instead of red) in the IceGrid Admin GUI.

Best regards,
Bernard

Bernard,

my fault, I was not running IceGridNode, just IceGridRegistry.
Now I have it trying to start my service

Thanks
