Message Server Tutorial

What is Message Server? Some users thinks they need to run Message Server to be able to connect to SQL Server. Message Server has no relation with database and if you have problems configuring database please read SambaPOS Database Configuration topic. After configuring database connection come back to this tutorial to complete your network connection. Message server is a special server application that enables communication between terminals. On a network environment waiters uses different t…

I do all mentioned points.

but still

@nkahat1

but still

but still what? lol… Doesn’t message server working? Screen not refreshing? Please ensure message server working properly, it installed only on server computer and you can see Connected label on all terminals. Message server does such remote refreshes.

still not working

the messaging is working only on the main serverand shows connected on the server sambapos only.

for the client pc, it connected to the database but not showing any green conncted label.

and yes the issue here is remote refreshes

@nkahat1

for the client pc, it connected to the database but not showing any green conncted label.

So you can follow the tutorial and connect terminals to message server. It described in detail under Configuring SambaPOS section. Be sure your firewalls configured to allow that connection.

the firewalls was stopped.

what is the correct name for the messaging server name on the client pc??

[emre]

This is the name of server that runs message server. For example nk-server. Or you can try typing server ip number.

Thanks…
It’s solved but with strange action!!
I run the messaging server on the client also using the same name on the server PC

I run the messaging server on the client also using the same name on the server PC

I think your misunderstanding the term message server.
Message server is a ‘separate’ service which you run on one of the machines - usually the server. They in each samba install you add the pc name of the computer running the message server.
If you are running the message server service on a 'client machine which has the message server address of the server its not actually looking at the message server on that machine.
It is like having SQL on both machines but if samba is looking at the server SQL database the SQL on the client machine is not doing anything as nothing is connecting to it.
Either way its working now

(PS have changed to question rather than issue as was configuration error rather than a bug.)

[nkahat1]

Thanks for clarification. Actually what you mentioned is what I understood from the tutorial. This why I said staring action.

How ever thanks a lot

The reason you use same name as server is because it hosts the Messaging server and your client connects to that pc message server.
