Publishing apps in MetaFrame 1.8 for 2000

[rickytran]

I have went ahead a test pusblising Notepad. I push both the ICA file and the HTM files in the same directory on the iis folder. I was able to get to the htm file. when click on the link to launch the ica file, I got an error message saying, "The Citrix Server you have selected is not accepting connections." Any help would greatly be appreciated...

Are you trying to launch the ica file from inside or outside your network? You will have to tweak the alternate address setting depending on whether you're inside or outside.

I tried lauching internal and externally. Please assist.

These are two typical examples. IP addresses changed to protect the..well...me:

Internal.ica
************

[WFClient]
Version=2
TcpBrowserAddress=172.16.1.2

[ApplicationServers]
Desktop=

[Desktop]
Address=Desktop
InitialProgram=#Desktop
ScreenPercent=95
DesiredColor=2
TransportDriver=TCP/IP
WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0

**************

External.ica
***************
[WFClient]
Version=2
TcpBrowserAddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this will be your external address, same as the alternate address on your citrix box)
UseAlternateAddress=1

[ApplicationServers]
Desktop=

[Desktop]
Address=Desktop
InitialProgram=#Desktop
ScreenPercent=95
DesiredColor=2
TransportDriver=TCP/IP
WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0
****************

If this does not work, please post the error that you are getting.

What happens when you click on the ica file outside of the web page? If you migrate to that directory and double-click the file, what happens?

Do you have the alternate address set on the citrix server if you are attempting to run the external.ica file?

[WFClient]
Version=2
TcpBrowserAddress=192.168.1.2

[ApplicationServers]
Notepad=

[Notepad]
Address=Notepad
InitialProgram=#Notepad
DesiredHRES=640

DesiredColor=2

That is what I got for my ica file. I have moved that file out of it's directory and got the same thing. The error that I got when clicked upon the ica file is "The Citrix Server you have selected is not accepting connections."

It is just for personal exploration, not work related, but it's driving me crazy because it is so simple to do, but yet I can't get it to work.

Does this happen ONLY with published applications?

This message usually indicates an issue preventing the Citrix server allowing logins, such as running out of licenses, or the license grace period expiring.

Have you checked this?

CitrixEngineer,
Yes, this only happen when I am trying to connect to published apps. I can connect just fine if I am setting up a connection in the ica neighborhood. I am not sure if it is because I don't have the correct license for publishing apps... do you need a separate license for publishing apps?

 

[CitrixEngineer]

The message is very generic, but would usually occur with both desktop and published app connections.

You don't require a separate license for published applications, just a server license and connection licenses.

Concentrate on getting it working internally first - you may find that you can connect if you edit the Server Location field in the PN client to point to the server.

CitrixEngineer,
Thanks for the reply... I will look into it... Like I said, it is not for work, but just exploration of Citrix... So I don't need to rush on finding out the answer...
