Solved: LMS3.2 install without DNS

STEFFEN NEUSER · ‎01-19-2012

Hello,

Got following problem with an LMS server that is installed without DNS server in the network, because this customer doesnt own and doesnt need any.

CS,CM,CV is working and contains devices, but RME (cannot connect to db) and DFM (TIS URN found) not.

pdshow and dbRestoreOrig.pl after calling, hangs for ever.

To loose no further time with troubleshooting, I want to reinstall LMS from the scratch.

But I dont want to setup an DNS server just for resolving the only IP-Adresse from LMS server for self purpose only.

Do I need an entry in drivers\etc\hosts for LMS server itself?

Do I need a fake-Domain? or can Domain be empty?

OS=Win2008,R1,SP1 as Standaloneserver (WORKGROUP)

LMS does not require DNS but it does require name resolution for the server hostname. Yes , add an entry to the hosts file and you should be all set.

It does not need to be FQDN.
