Thank you for the suggestion Carl but none of the pages on google are the actual problem that I am experiencing.

All of these are;

• AIDSC0884E: Failed to do IO operation with file.HTTPS hostname wrong
• AIDSC0884E: Failed to do IO operation with file.Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL

But the error I am having is;

• AIDSC0884E: Failed to do IO operation with file.Connection timed out : connect

The error code I have has nothing online that I have been able to find, I did search the web first.

I did think the port may be blocked but I can telnet on port 8090 which is what it uses, so again I am stuck at this point.

AIDSC0877I: The complete URL is :http:/*******.****.***:80/servlet/auth/scs?xpath    
2018:3:27    9:42:44    com.ibm.sametime.console.deployment.client.util.RestURL    getXMLFromURL    AIDSC0884E: Failed to do IO operation with file.Connection timed out: connect    

This is the only URL that appears in the logs? But the server I am connecting to is not listening on port 80? Or am I missing something? All ports that are needed to be open are open.

When you are on the server, are you able to telnet to localhost over Port 80? If so, another service is running on Port 80, and preventing a second service from pre-empting it.  

Hi Jay,

I am unable to Telnet local host on port 80, I did previously do a netstat -a and can't see port 80 listed as listening.

I don't know what's not running for this to happen?

Also the server has fully restarted but the services have not kicked in? (Even if i start these services manually after starting the server I get the same issue)

If netstat -a shows nothing listening on Port 80, then it is not what I suspected, which is that a separate service that uses Port 80 is running before Sametime has a chance to start.  

Do you have servlet security enabled in line with the instruction in line with the IBM security bulletin 1569452? If so, does disabling security on the servlet allow the service to be started? 

Appreciate your help Jay, Can link me to that page as I am unable to find it?

I don't know if it's worth knowing that I have the DB2 - Sametime Server - System Console/Proxy on separate servers?
