can't network render

[hdace]

Hi Juanjo,

I've been trying to get network rendering to work. We bought a new standalone license so we could use a second Macintosh to render. When I start "OctaneRender Daemon 2.15" I get this message in the Terminal window:

Last login: Thu Dec 18 13:02:22 on ttys000
"/Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 2.15.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave_daemon" --port 48000 --slave "/Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 2.15.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave" --alias "Halywaly"; exit
Halywaly:~ henrydace$ "/Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 2.15.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave_daemon" --port 48000 --slave "/Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 2.15.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave" --alias "Halywaly"; exit
-bash: /Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 2.15.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave_daemon: No such file or directory
logout

[Process completed]

I tried renaming the file so it would be what appeared to be expected, but then Terminal didn't even open, and the master computer still didn't see it. Neither computer has a firewall.

Sorry, I don't have my mac here now to see how it is installed, but did you run the batch script _install_daemon.bat on the slave computer?

During the setup, it will ask which port the daemon should listen to for master requests. After that, the daemon will be resident on that machine and it will be active at all times.

I noticed that the 2.15 .DMG of the 2.15 Standalone was not complete. I rebuilt the release and re-uploaded it. Please download it again and run the daemon installer as described here:

I did everything but it's still not working. The master doesn't "see" any slaves.

And Standalone works? ... try to use the Standalone in the master machine to see if we have a plugin problem, or the problem is in the Octane configuration.

I installed OctaneRender 2.15 on the master machine (it previously had 2.06) and started it, but it still couldn't see the slave. When I configured the daemon installation I pressed Enter on all questions. I should add that I have no trouble with normal networking, and they're connected via a 1GHz switch. The slave Terminal text follows and it appears normal to me:

Weird, I am testing the 2.15 build here in my Mac and all works fine. I get this messages in the console:

"/Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 2.15.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave_daemon" --port 48000 --slave "/Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 2.15.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave" --alias "Mac-Pro-de-Juanjo"; exit

And I can see the node from my windows workstation without problems.

Thanks. I'll do more testing and see what I come up with.
