problem creating OmeroMatlab session

[tuco]

Hi, I installed OMERO.server (except OMERO.web) and the clients insight, editor and importer on an XP machine. This part seems to work fine. I then tried to install the OmeroMatlab toolbox (using Matlab R2009a) and that's where I run into problems. I cannot establish a session. In Matlab, I get the following errors:

>> loadOmero

>> c=omero.client('localhost')

c =

Everything is run on the same machine. For >> s=c.createSession('user', 'password') I am using the same user name and password I use to connect to the server using the other clients (e.g. insight). I have tried to establish a session using all the other possibilities listed in loadOmero.m but all have failed. Do I need to configure SSL settings? Or get Omero.IceStorm running (how do I do that?) before I can use OmeroMatlab?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

No, you shouldn't have to do anything special. Can you give me the output of:

Code: Select all

netstat -an

ping -n 1 localhost

Here they are:

Thanks. All I can think of then is that somehow name resolution inside Matlab is not working correctly. Can you try 127.0.0.1 or the IP address of your workstation instead of localhost?

[tuco]

Hi, I tried both suggestions, none worked. I also updated Matlab to 2010a version and that didn't help either.
Could the problem have anything to do with the fact that the processor.py functionality is disabled in the windows installation? Do I need to install/activate the processor? If so, how do I do that?
thanks

tuco

[cxallan]

No, you don't require the processor for Matlab functionality. All very odd, this is something that we use fairly routinely so I can't imagine why you're having the connection issues that you are.

What might be tripping you up is the usage of Ice 3.4, we currently do not support Ice 3.4.

[tuco]

I have installed ice 3.3.1 and changed the environment variables accordingly (I did not remove 3.4). I could not get icegridnode (and consequently the server) running. I re-ran the OMERO database initialization script (

Code: Select all

>bin\omero bd script

) and re-initialized the database, etc. and tried again to start the server, in vain:

any idea what I am doing wrong?

On the XP SP3 machine I am using I also have cygwin installed. Do you think it might be a good idea to start from scratch and install everything under cygwin (especially for installing OMERO.web later)?

[cxallan]

You must use the exact Python and Ice binaries that match and I can't remember what the VC90 version was compiled against. If you use the VC80 MSI you'll need to use the Python version that we specify on the website.

In short I suspect you have a library mismatch. You can have a look in C:\omero_dist\var\log and see if there's anything specific in master.err, master.log or Blitz-0.log that might help you out.

[tuco]

It seems the problem was that I had to remove ice 3.4 (VC90 uses python 2.6). Now I can start omero server:

somehow other things such as the processor are active now, too.

As for the original problem of failing to start a session in OmeroMatlab: I was using OmeroMatlab 4.2.0 (latest). I downloaded 4.1.2 and now it works:

p.setProperty('omero.pass', 'pass');

(using the user and pass I use to connect insight). So there seems to be a problem in the 4.2.0 toolbox.

No problem with the toolbox really. 4.2.0 will use the SSL and the SSL port 4064 for all authentication with the server unless forced to only use 4063.
