 Yes, the capitalization was my fault, but the instructions on the website
are a bit misleading
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/documentation/BridgeServer-HowTo/BridgeServer-HOWT1.htm.

But THANK YOU, it worked like a dream!



Anyone have any ideas about the rest of questions? (The vic actually now
just shuts down after asking my name and email with a runtime error!

Program: ...tion Data\AccessGrid\local_services\VideoService\vic.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.)

Shall I just uninstall AG and reinstall it??

>>2) Whenever my WinXP connects to a venue and the vic starts up it asks me
>>to enter rtpName and rtpEmail and then promises to store it in the
>> Windows
>>registry so I won't have to type it again, but it doesn't and I do! And
>> it
>>is a bit boring to do it every time! Is this because I am not an
>>administrator of the computer? I remember this happening when I installed
>>AG on another computer, but if I remember correctly it stopped after I
>>rebooted.
>>
>>
>>3) I have to start up VenueClient using a Dospromt: VenueClient
>>--personalNode. I googled this problem and someone adviced that I removed
>>the system variable GLOBUS-HOSTNAME (which I did, although difficult
>> since
>>i am not an administrator) and it certainly was wrong, but it didn't fix
>>the problem, vic and rat wouldn't start and I couldn't add a
>>ServiceManager with hostname:localhost and port:12000. It still uses the
>>wrong ip-number.
>>
>>
>>4) I cant open a shared browser. I can start the application session (add
>>a browser to the venue) but I can't open it on my WinXP (and certainly
>> not
>>on my linux, it only works for windows, right?). This I could do when my
>>VenueServer was running on a Windows machine.
>>
>>
>>This is about it for now. Hope you can help, at least on some of those
>>issues.. Thanks.
>>Benedikt.
