Error Messages

This section lists AnswerBook2 error messages and how to respond to them.

No AnswerBook2 documentation server was found.

An attempt to use the answerbook2 script or launch the client viewer from the CDE front panel failed because there is no default documentation server defined.

The client viewer uses the following approach to finding a default documentation server:

1. If the AB2_DEFAULTSERVER environment variable is defined, the AnswerBook2 viewer launches using the URL defined by that variable. For example, you might have the following line in your .cshrc file:

   setenv AB2_DEFAULTSERVER http://imaserver.eng.sun.com:8888/

2. If the machine from which you initiated the AnswerBook2 function is a documentation server, the AnswerBook2 viewer launches using the URL: localhost:port, where port defaults to 8888.

3. If an AnswerBook2 server is registered with FNS (Federated Naming Service), the AnswerBook2 viewer uses the URL of the registered server.

Cannot find local AnswerBook2 server to administer.

An attempt to use the answerbook2_admin script or launch the Admin GUI from the CDE front panel failed because there is no documentation server on this system.

Do one of the following to administer the AnswerBook2 server:

• Log in on the system on which the documentation server software is installed and try again.

  Enter the URL for the documentation server you want to administer in your browser.
