Can't log into SEPM

This issue has been solved. See solution.

SEPM RU5
SQL Server 2008 SP1

Installed onto a new box (made into replication partner, so I can eventually retire our current server).  Replication works fine, database creation worked fine, everything looked good other than getting "Unable to communicate with reporting component".  Found some suggestions on this forum and eventually figured out that the Reporting folder didn't have the correct permissions. Took care of that and IE was able to connect to http://localhost:8014/reporting successfully.  Launched the console and logged in, but as soon as the login screen goes away and "Load..." appears, it pops me back to the login screen.  Anyone see this?

Possibly unrelated, but what's the latest support Java version for RU5?

Thanks

Hi, In the login page where

Hi,

In the login page where it says localhost:8443 , you can replace localhost with the IP of SEPM server, or with the computer name of the SEPM server. You can check the odbc connection and make sure that the connection is successful.

Also, you can check the scm-server-0.log to see if there are any errors.

You can also try and login from IE. Just type the URL:  http://localhost:8014/reporting

If that does not help , try replacing localhost with IP or computer name.

If you are able to login from the computername or IP address, there is an issue with the local name resolution. You can look into the hosts file in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc directory and make sure that the entry

localhost 127.0.0.1 exists. If you see anymore entries for localhost or computername, thats the cause of the problem.

Most of the times, its either the ODBC or HOSTS file thats the cause for this issue.

Best,
Aniket

uh, as I had previously

uh, as I had previously mentioned, I'm able to successfully log in. But, as soon as the "Loading" message comes up, it pops me back to the login screen. Hardly think a name resolution problem would cause that.  Of course, I did try replacing "LocalHost" with the actual IP address. Still same behavior

In the log in screen try to use the IP adress of the server instead of Localhost:8443 use x.x.x.x:8443

Try this & let me know.

If this fails then just run a repair for the SEPM & see if that helps.

Java Question

Officially Java 6 update 14 is mentioned in the release notes for RU5.  Many others, including myself, have found Java 6 update 16 to work fine as well.
