Repository Connection Error - Help Needed

Hi all,

I’m desperately trying to re-set up Deadline on a couple of PCs with no luck.

It has worked previously on my PC set up but due to errors with my previous install (renders were not starting) I decided to do a clean install.

I have followed the instructions on the install page but when I open up the Monitor on either my main PC (that the Repository was installed on) or on my spare (client) PC I get connection error messages. Is there anybody that can help me get this working flawlessly? I need to be able to render in the next day or so.

Error message on the client PC:
Client_Error

Error message on my main PC (that has the repo on it)
Main PC Error

Many thanks for any help!

I really wish this software was FAR easier to install.

When you re-installed did you create a new certificate and are you using this one?

I created a new certificate

I just noticed you’ve put the port number as the mongo port, surely you should be running the RCS and pointing to this port? 8080/4433?

Ah, I didn’t notice that. I shall check now and reset it to either 8080/4433. I’m re-installing the Repo at the moment without a certificate, as I’ve just read on the forum from one of your posts:

“Are you planning on connecting to the cloud? if not it’s easier to set-up without the certificate, it maybe easier to re-install the Repo and DB without security.”

direct connection with no security is the easiest way to get running yes

Thank you for the help. Hopefully this will work now.

Thankfully, I am now able to connect via direct connection. It works with rendering a very simple Maya scene (light/basic geo/no textures), but for some reason isn’t rendering a complex scene that I need to render asap.

I’ve emailed Thinkbox for support. fingers crossed

Have a look at python - Unable to open scene with Mayapy using Maya2020 - Stack Overflow

try running that command to clean out the nodeGraphEditorInfo from the scene file.

Also curious if support mention any known issues with ssl certificates in 10.4.0.10. Can you pls ask them if you hear from them? :slight_smile:

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.delete(cmds.ls(type="nodeGraphEditorInfo"))
