Hi everyone,
I've found bits and pieces of this issue in the forums already, but none of the posts have been able to help me so far. I'll put my situation in bullet points for ease of reading:
- running a new intel mac 8-core with the latest 10.5.x. I have it ethernet'd to my dual quad-core G5 running OS 10.4.11. I just downloaded VE3 to be able to take advantage of the old G5 that has 6.5GB of RAM in it.
- 1 vienna key on each computer. VE3 and VI's installed on both machines. The slave is not connected to a monitor, so I have Vienna Ensemble Service set to launch at startup on the slave.
- I ran Directory Manager from the newly-installed Vienna Ensemble on each computer.
- Firewalls are off on both computers.
- I launch VE Service on the master (it is already launched on the slave, Logic is NOT open) and for the last 20 minutes I have the little Vienna Ensemble window saying "Scanning content files." Vienna keys are in the right places so that's not an issue.
- VE Server on either computer will not recognize the other computer, although looking at the NETWORK pref in the System Preferences shows that the ethernet connection between the 2 computers is active.
- I tried launching Logic but the VE plugin didn't show up in the AU menu. I went to the AU Manager where I saw "Vienna Ensemble version 2.0.0" was unchecked, so I checked it and clicked "Rescan" to try to get it to validate. There was no AU in the menu saying "version 3.0". The validation began, and moved along slowly. After about 15 minutes, with just a spinning beach ball, I force-quit Logic while it was still trying to validate the AU.
- After closing out of Logic I saw an error message on the desktop: "Unable to create Server Object. The Server application might be already running, or the requested network port is not available."
So I'm stuck -- VE3 isn't connecting to the slave and launching any component of VE3 freezes up the component or Logic or both.
I've covered all of the bases from the instruction manual... can anyone shed some light?
Thanks,
Kerry
