Teamcity ERROR MESSAGE for Server Url? - teamcity

I am setup teamcity on my windows 7 laptop. I can connect to it on the server with the windows tray notifier. When I try to connect to it from another machine, i get the "Server URL IS INVALID ERROR? Please Help!

Your Windows 7 laptop probably doesn't allow incoming traffic to TeamCity from other machines. You can use the Windows Firewall configuration to allow it.
Also, isn't this the same question as this one: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1751761/i-need-the-correct-teamcity-windows-tray-notfier-url
Also, this may get better reception on SuperUser!

Unable to RDP into windows?

I have a windows 16 machine on AWS. I installed Cygwin on it so that I can connect it as a jenkins slave. But once I connected it as a slave, I am NOT able to MSTSC/RDP into the machine. I can still access the machine via ssh/cygwin.
( I repeated the process several times and ended up losing rdp connectivity everytime )
This is what is actually happening now :
The EventLogs on machine are saying that logoff instructions are being initiated by the RDP client.
RDP client is saying "The disconnection was initiated by the user logging off their session on the server"
Visually, if seems like the remote connection was setup for a split second. Then it vanishes.
So, I believe that somehow my Administrator account is not able to maintain the session. It's getting disconnected as soon as it connects.
Can you suggest me which settings should I debug into ? I am able to extract a few details from my machine using ssh, but I can't explore all the settings.
If you are familiar with this behaviour please suggest me what settings might be reponsible for this.
Addition info:
If I restart my ec2 , it will never come back because a status check starts failing
I am able to telnet to 3389 port. So I guess, firewall rules are not an issue.
I have tried various RDP clients, on MAC as well as on Windows.
I found this in event log (ProviderName: Microsoft-Windows-RemoteDesktopServices-RdpCoreTS) on my remote windows machine:
5/10/2019 3:13:44 PM 103 Information The disconnect reason is 12

5/10/2019 3:13:43 PM 228 Warning Disconnect trace:CUMRDPConnection Disconnect trace:'calling spGfxPlugin->PreDisconnect()' in CUMRDPConnection::PreDisconnect at 4477 err=[0xc], Error code:0xC
It turns out the my problem was occuring due to some cleanup utility deleting up the system files required for mstsc.
Everything started working fine after I switched off the cleanup utility.
Thanks for the help though.

https can not establish a private connection

guys, I need your help. Here is the problem I face now:
I have a Dell XPS laptop and install windows 10 and Linux Mint 18 on it. To keep the clock consistent with my time zone, I have used the following command in Linux:
timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock
The problem now is, in windows 10, I can only connect to Gooogle or gmail during the beginning of the reboot. After long time, or after a suspension of windows 10, I can not connect to Google service anymore. It will report "can not estabish private connection". I can connect to other website normally. The same problem also exist for my dropbox. It will report "can not establish a secured connection".
I have checked the certificate of https for Google services, it seems that the browser locates to a wrong certificate when the connection is failed.
The problem disappear if I use a VPN connection.
I guess the problem is related to clock setting in my windows system, but I don't know how to solve it.
any suggestion is appreciated.
Solved.
The problem is that I use manual DNS settings, so the time in my computer and the server is not consistent. Just need to convert to auto DNS.
Sorry for the interrupt.

Windows Azure VM Filezilla FTP Setup

I am using Windows 2012 R2 VM machine in Azure. I have read multiple article to setup Filezilla server in this environment. However, I am not successful. Any one faced this issue? Any solution will be greatly appreciated.
Just remember to add Filezilla to Windows Firewall :-)
I'm dealing with the same thing right now. locally the FTP serv works great. remote I cannot establish a passive connection. Based on my research this is because Azure is not set up for Passive-FTP. I am uncertain if we can get FileZilla to operate in a active-FTP mode. Will post back if I ever get to the bottom of it. Mine currently connects and authenticates but 'cannot retrieve directory listing' when it tries to kick over to passive (transfer) mode.
In addition to checking the Virtual Machine endpoints are open, be sure to also add the appropriate Windows Firewall rules if you have Windows Firewall enabled on your Windows VM.
Yes, We can connect to Azure server via FileZilla Client.
Steps:
Login to Azure portal: https://portal.azure.com
Click on App Services.
Select the Site and then click on Get publish profile.
Save the file and open it in notepad.exe.
The file contains 2 <publishProfile> sections. One is for Web Deploy and another for FTP.
Under the <publishProfile> section for FTP make a note of the following values:
publishUrl (hostname only)
userName --------------------------> This is the information you are looking for
userPWD
Add the PublishUrl to Hostname, Username and password in their respective fields.
Connected.

How to enable enable messaging queue (MSMQ) on a ftp server

I have a website hosted on a ftp server, I dont have access to that server except ftp credentials and a plex panel support. I want to use MSMQ to use queues so basically on local I have enabled MSMQ through windows features. But when I publish site on ftp server, it gave error:
Message Queuing has not been installed on this computer
So please help me to sort out this.
Thanks in advance.
If you only got FTP-credentials you are stuck with what the system administrator has set up for you. There is no chance you can get MSMQ running there without the sysadmin doing the installation work.

SMTP local server in windows 7? (running IIS7)

I'm trying to send a mail via python code via local SMTP server (localhost, port 25) in Windows 7 Enterprise edition. I'm obviously getting the irritating
[Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
message, because I don't have any SMTP server installed. Because of Microsofts' ambigious documentation I thought that I can use the Server manager tool to install the local SMTP service, only to discover that it doesn't work on Windows 7.
I've read here in other threads that Windows 7 does not include the SMTP service anymore, so it doesn't have a local SMTP server. All threads directed the questioners to other, 3rd party SMTP services. The question is: is there any other way of configuring a local SMTP server yet? Or is it still an open issue, and I have no choice but to use a 3rd party software?
This response is a little late, but might help the next person...
No, Windows 7 does not come with an SMTP server. Supposedly Remote Server Administration tools includes an SMTP server, but according to this link, it does not work.
Some options for sending email from a Windows 7 machine are:
For development purposes, I like smtp4dev https://github.com/rnwood/smtp4dev. It is open source and emulates a SMTP server. However instead of actually sending the email, it keeps in in an app on the system tray. Great for making sure you don't accidentally SPAM your users.
If you are planning to send emails out for real, I would advise using a SMTP server with a static IP address as most spam filters dislike dynamic addresses and will block the email.
I have not used it, but if you must send email from your local Windows machine and am not worried about SPAM filters, Free SMTP Server from www.softstack.com seems pretty popular.
