SetDomain and SetLSHost() problem

karthik

I have used the following code to connect the LightStreamer.

$wnd.page = new $wnd.PushPage();
$wnd.page.context.setDomain("www.MyCompany.com");		
$wnd.page.onEngineCreation = function(engine) {
$wnd.lsEngine = engine;
						
	engine.connection.setLSHost("push.MyCompany.com");			
     engine.connection.setLSPort("9090");			
     engine.connection.setAdapterName("BrowserToLSToTWS");					
     engine.connection.setUserName(username);
     engine.connection.setPassword(password);

It works fine while my host file have the following entry

127.0.0.1 www.MyCompany.com
127.0.0.1 push.MyCompany.com

Now I try to launch the same application on my client Machine with the following code

$wnd.page = new $wnd.PushPage();
$wnd.page.context.setDomain("ClientCompanyName.co.ke");		
$wnd.page.onEngineCreation = function(engine) {
$wnd.lsEngine = engine;
						
	engine.connection.setLSHost("push.Servername.ClientCompanyName.co.ke");			
     engine.connection.setLSPort("9090");			
     engine.connection.setAdapterName("BrowserToLSToTWS");					
     engine.connection.setUserName(username);
     engine.connection.setPassword(password);

where my client web server name and host name as follows

WebServerName : ClientCompanyName.co.ke
HostName : push.Servername.ClientCompanyName.co.ke

Now I try to browse the application. I can’t connect with the LS. But once I put the Host file entries like ..

<ClientIP> ClientCompanyName.co.ke
<ClientIP> push.Servername.ClientCompanyName.co.ke

Then it connect with LS.

Where I am wrong and where do I need to code for this case?
Kindly help me to solve this prob.

Hi,
you're probably in a situation similar to the following one:

In special cases, the consistency rules may be browser dependent. For instance, if the Web Server hostname has the short form mycompany.com and Lightstreamer Server hostname has the form push.mycompany.com, the "mycompany.com" domain has been found not to be accepted by Internet Explorer prior to version 8 (hence, no domain setting is available in this case, as "com" is too broad to be accepted). The limitation affects all cases in which the domain name is the same as the hostname.

so you should change the hostname of the web server to something like www.ClientCompanyName.co.ke

more details here: http://www.lightstreamer.com/docs/client_web_jsdoc/Context.html#setDomain

Let me know if this solution doesn't work.

Thank you very much for Quick Reply.

so you should change the hostname of the web server to something like www.ClientCompanyName.co.ke

Is that meant to put the host file entry like?

<ClientIP> www.ClientCompanyName.co.ke
<ClientIP> push.Servername.www.ClientCompanyName.co.ke

Or change the machine name as "www.ClientCompanyName.co.ke"

on your production machines you should change the host name of the web server to "www.ClientCompanyName.co.ke" while keeping the host name of the Lightstreamer server to "push.ClientCompanyName.co.ke"
