[Opensim-users] Phoenix Viewer hangs at "Waiting forRegionhandshake"

[Gary Beck]

Kenneth,
    If you're logging on to the region that uses port 9000 that's the port 
that will be used.
    Maybe a step by step on the handshake process will give a clue -

        Your server passes the IP address of the region paired with the port 
number to the viewer.
        You specify:
            ExternalHostName = 
"ec2-46-51-xxx-xxx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com"
        Your server resolves that to an address and passed that (not the URL 
string) along to the viewer.
        This could cause a problem if at the server the ExternalHostName is 
resolved to something other than the proper external IP address (such as the 
local IP address.)
       The viewer takes the passes address/port and attempts to converse 
with the server using it.
       Then if too much time passes the viewer will declare a failure.

Typically the problem is either wrong address used or port blocked.
Because you're confident the port is open now I'd look into the address 
being passed.   Unfortunately the log messages related to the regions either 
show you 'resolved local address:port' or 'unresolved URL address:port' 
which give no clue.  Perhaps someone knows a good tool to track down the 
actual address passed to the viewer.
- Gary
