could not start server image receiver


  • Im getting the following error when trying to upload an on-demand image to the server that i've just setup to test things.

    The client computer goes through preparing the drive then gets to

    preparing client com imaging server for upload
    An error has occurred
    ...... could not start server image receiver

    When i look in my Com Server ive set the correct Upload Interface IP which is set to:

    192.168.56.100:8888

    Any help would be appreciated as ive tried reinstalling this a few times and i keep hitting this brickwall. Here is the imaging log:

    Successfully resized NTFS on device '/dev/mmcblk0p3'.
    You can go on to shrink the device for example with Linux fdisk.
    IMPORTANT: When recreating the partition, make sure that you

    1. create it at the same disk sector (use sector as the unit!)
    2. create it with the same partition type (usually 7, HPFS/NTFS)
    3. do not make it smaller than the new NTFS filesystem size
    4. set the bootable flag for the partition if it existed before
      Otherwise you won't be able to access NTFS or can't boot from the disk!
      If you make a mistake and don't have a partition table backup then you
      can recover the partition table by TestDisk or Parted's rescue mode.

  • To follow this up.....

    For anyone else that has this error please do not put the port address in with the upload interface IP.

    It should be set to the IP without Port address so in my instance it would be

    192.168.56.100

    It should not be 192.168.56.100:8888
