[omniORB] omniNames error

[dstinga at info.uvt.ro ()]

Hello
I am new to omniORB. When I am trying to start the naming service, I get the
following error:
%omniNames -start
omniORB: Error: Unable to create an endpoint of this description:giop:tcp::2809
Failed to initialise the POAs. Is omniNames already running?

Thank you in advance.
Delia Stinga.

Hi Delia.

Are you running on Windows without a network connection ? I seem to
recall something about tcp loopback connections not being enabled per
default on some Windows configurations so I would check that the network
is working. Can you ping 127.0.0.1 ?

Some more details about your setup would also help tremendously :-).

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am running on Linux.

That sounds strange. Actually giop:tcp::2809 is a valid address
according to
http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/omni40/omniORB/omniORB008.html#toc41.

Try running with tracelevel 20 or so - that will tell you more about
what's happening.
