When I open the Kiosk, the entry form appears, where I can type in the created user and the message server address and so on.
My local IP address of the Kiosk is 192.168.1.162 - here I have also installed the SambaPOS V5 Pro application.
IMHO I have to type in the field “Message Server Address”: 192.168.1.162 - or am I here completely wrong? When I save this, a message appears “Connection refused to 192.168.1.162:9000”
Message server address usually http with either host name or ip address.
The message server would be on the machine with the database 99% of the time.
Check message server service is running and that firewall port 9000 is open. Test firewall by turning off temporarily. If resolves it needs port opening.
I assume that the message server will be on the same machine - I installed SambaPOS V5 Pro and afterwards the GO Kiosk software on the same machine! Is that okay?
I checked if the if the Message Server Service is running (Task manager - > Services) but i could not find anything that looks like this.
I deactivated the windows firewall before i opened this thread. See the picutre what it says… (localhost = 192.168.1.162)
If its using message server and graphql api does it need to be sql express rather than local dB which guessing he will be using if just installed samba.
I am actually not sure, I think if its using GraphQL & API just 9000 port would be fine but I usually open these ports just in case I have to attach another device in the future. Saves me the troubleshooting
Either will work but with localdb it means Sambapos would have to be running for SQL server instance to be live. It would make more sense to install SQL server stand alone.
Localdb and sql express are both SQL express. The difference is localdb is a process and it’s killed when you close Sambapos. The standalone version runs as a service and can be used even when Sambapos is not running. But they are both the same database engine and it works the same.
This is the reason we say that you need full stand alone SQL express. So if Sambapos is shutdown it won’t stop the database.
Thank you Posflow (and all of you), installing this service helped! It now seems to be able to connect. But it gives another error “Client ‘gokiosk’ is not registered in the system”
It seems i have to order the setup service, as it is more complicated as it seems…
One last question - do i need a license to get the Kiosk running or should it also “work” without? Because right now, I do not have a license for anything…
