Couchbase running on Amazon EC2. Connection from .NET SDK - amazon-ec2

I am trying to connect to couchbase running on Amazon EC2. I can connect it by public URL exposed from Amazon or IP address, but every time I try to connect from the code, it throws a timeout exception.
What I have done is:
I set a configuration
<couchbaseClients>
<couchbase useSsl="false">
<servers>
<add uri="http://PUBLIC-IP-ADDRESS:8091/pools"></add>
</servers>
<buckets>
<add name="default" useSsl="false" password="">
<connectionPool name="custom" maxSize="10" minSize="5"></connectionPool>
</add>
</buckets>
</couchbase>
Then while opening cluster I put there a configuration name
new Cluster("couchbaseClients/couchbase");
Also, I found somewhere I need to open a set of ports. I did inbound rules for all the ports I found to allow for all clients (any IP address).
What am I doing wrong?
Exception is:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond PUBLIC-IP-ADDRESS:11210
Port 11210 is opened, I'm able to telnet.
Also, I am able to connect to couchbase`s console.

Ok, the resolution was quite simple. During installation of Couchbase i was wrongly specifying Server Hostname - a local one

How to connect laravel with Firebird database? [duplicate]

I'm trying to connect to a remote Firebird database "test" (alias already added). It is not an embedded server, and is installed on VM with IP 192.168.1.147.
Here is my connection string:
User=sysdba;Password=masterkey;Database=test;DataSource=192.168.1.147
However I got an error:
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbException (0x80004005): Unable to complete network request to host "192.168.1.147". ---> Unable to complete network request to host "192.168.1.147".
I've done some research on that but haven't got a clue yet. Some help needed. Thanks
My IP address is 192.168.2.108, and I can ping that server IP successfully
Make sure that
Firebird is running
Firebird is listening on port 3050 on the specified IP (or on 0.0.0.0)
Your firewall allows access to port 3050
You're using the correct host name
For Linux, the Firebird port is closed by default. You need to modify RemoteBindAddress in /etc/firebird/2.5/firebird.conf from
RemoteBindAddress = localhost
to
RemoteBindAddress =
and restart service.
Make sure you have excluded tcp port 3050 in VMs' firewall.
Ok. I think your connection to firebird is faililing because the firebird client looks up the network service file by name and does not find gds_db in the services file.
If your connection string refers to the host by using IP, the Client might fail to identify it because it gethostbyname() and not by IP
Manually include this in the file and you should be fine.

Connect to Multichain network using aws EC2

I am trying to learn basics of blockchain by trying the multichain platform, I have been following multichain guide to make a private blockchain, I am using two instances of EC2, I managed to create a blockchain using my first instance :
>multichaind secondChain -daemon
MultiChain Core Daemon build 1.0 alpha 27 protocol 10007
MultiChain server starting
Looking for genesis block...
Genesis block found
Other nodes can connect to this node using:
multichaind secondChain#XXX.XX.X.XX:XXXX
Node started
However, when I try to connect to the blockchain using a second instance of EC2, I am getting rejected :
>multichaind secondChain#XXX.XX.X.XX:XXXX
MultiChain Core Daemon build 1.0 alpha 27 protocol 10007
Retrieving blockchain parameters from the seed node XXX.XX.X.XX:XXXX ...
Error: Couldn't connect to the seed node XXX.XX.X.XX on port XXXX - please check multichaind is running at that address and that your firewall settings allow incoming connections.
Which is kind of expected, as I need to grant connect rights to that machine. However, It should return me a wallet address so I can grant the connection rights.
I think this is related to EC2 settings that are probably not allowing me to connect. I have few knowledge of EC2 and networks in general. I can't figure this out.
Have you checked if the access to the port is granted on the instance you're trying to connect?
If multichaind says "please check multichaind is running at that address and that your firewall settings allow incoming connection"
It is usually one or the other. Port and Running already.
Since you havent yet granted, its probably port.

Changing EC2 Cassandra instance's remote access port?

I set up Cassandra on EC2 according to this: http://www.datastax.com/docs/datastax_enterprise2.2/install/install_dse_ami
All is well, and it's all up and running, including OpsCenter. For the time being, I have a completely open (0.0.0.0/0) security policy. I'll fiddle with that once I can finally connect remotely.
The problem, I'm told, is that our corporate firewall blocks almost all ports, save for 22, 80, 8080, and 8888. Thus, when I try to connect to Cassandra locally: e:\cassandra\bin\cassandra-cli -host ec2-X-X-X-X.us-east-1.compute.amazonaws.com -port 9160
I get the error:
org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
Given that I cant open any additional ports in my corporate firewall, what can I do to connect to Cassandra? Can I tell it to allow connections on 8080 instead?
It sounds like you are having trouble connecting from your machine to the Cassandra machine due to the corporate firewall. There are a couple of solutions
Connect to machine via ssh first
You could connect to the EC2 machine and connect from there.
Change the thrift port
You certainly could change the thrift port in the cassandra.yaml file, but make sure you change it in the opscenterd.conf also. Realize that if something else is running on 8080, then this probably will not work.
You could also look into using the DataStax DevCenter too, which would help keep things behind the firewall. This is in alpha, but it may help your situation.

Cannot connect to named instance of SQL Server 2008R2

I am attempting to create a new Database Project in VS2010 via the New Project Wizard, and via this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833432(v=vs.100).aspx
I am on the 'Configure Build/Deploy' step, and am attempting to connect to a named instance of SQL Server 2008R2 that I just installed, called DEVELOPMENT. Assuming the server name is DB-01, I am using DB-01\DEVELOPMENT as the Server name in the dialog in the screenshot below. I'm also using the remaining settings in the dialog, but it keeps giving me the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to the SQL Server. The server was not found
or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and
that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to
respond.)
DEV is the name of a database I created on the DEVELOPMENT instance. If I use DB-01 as the server name, which is the default instance, it connects. In the past, we've been developing from a database on the default instance, with no issues, but I'm trying to move to local, source-controlled databases. What am I missing with this not connecting?
EDIT: As a little more context, it's not the username/pw combination, or the existence of the DEV db on the instance, because I receive different errors if either of those are incorrect. It's simply not able to connect once I give it the named instance.
Figured it out:
The default instance of SQL Server (called MSSQLSERVER in some places) uses port 1433 by default for incoming connections, which was opened in Windows Firewall. This is why I was able to connect to the default instance (DB-01). If you've created a named instance of SQL Server, by default these instances use port 1434 for incoming connections. These are TCP ports for each case. Well, I have to admit that I opened TCP port 1434 in Windows Firewall and still was not able to connect to the named instance remotely, and still am not sure why this was the case. So instead, I opened up a random port (6969) in Windows Firewall, and configured the DEVELOPMENT (named) instance to accept incoming connecting over that port only. For instructions on how to configure specific SQL Server instances to use ports other than the default, see this article:
Configure a Server to Listen on a Specific TCP Port
Once I configured the instance to use port 6969, I was able to connect with no issue. Hope this helps others that are having a similar/same issue.

Amazon Instance Ec2 Connection Timeout

I am using Amazon EC2 services & and its working correctly but suddenly from 3-days before when we try to access our instance using ssh connection we got following error:
"ssh: connect to host ec2----***.compute-1.amazonaws.com port **: Connection timed out"
when I try to access our sites deployed on our EC2 instance, I received the same error ,
"The connection has timed out
The server at ec2----***.compute-1.amazonaws.com is taking too long to respond"
there is no problem in network connection from our side as we are able to access other web site and services smoothly.
I can't even able to access hosted site without this.
I encountered the same problem.
I followed the troubleshooting in http://alestic.com/2010/05/ec2-move-ebs-boot-instance
Then when I tried to start a new instance, I got an message from Amazon:
Server.InsufficientInstanceCapacity: We currently do not have sufficient m1.small capacity in the Availability Zone you requested (us-east-1b). Our system will be working on provisioning additional capacity. You can currently get m1.small capacity by not specifying an Availability Zone in your request or choosing us-east-1d, us-east-1c, us-east-1a.
Maybe, you have an instance is us-east-1b, too.
You can try to access the System Console (either via the amazon web console or elasticfox) and check for any errors/messages that might help you arrive at the cause of this.
In ~/.ssh/config, add the following lines:
ServerAliveInterval 50
This will keep on pinging the server every 50 seconds to keep the connection alive.
