An external partner of ours receives a 404 ‘Page Not Found’ error when posting via HTTPS a message to our BC 4.6 server.

When they attempt to post to the very same URL a second time (five seconds later), they are successful.

We have verified that their certificates and ours are working properly, and that our service to receive the message is working.

This error occurs when using DNS and IP. Also there is no trace of the error in the wm error log (using default logging level).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Can you check with increasing server logging level (probably 9).

Just a shot in the dark: Is there a load balancing facility in the place? The SSL handshake takes a bit of time so a load balancer may be redirecting traffic to one server on the first bit of activity in the handshake and then to another a bit later.

Server log level is 4. I can set to level 9 but the next message won’t come until Tuesday the 22nd of April. That’s my next step though.

No load balancing being done, but I am concerned that maybe the SSL handshake is taking too long and they are timing out on their side.

My guess is this is not an IS issue but a network issue. Not sure where to look though, other than get network type involved.

It seems something that should be generating another error code, is wrongly generating a HTTP 404 response.
(If nothing was generating the 404 response, your partner would get either a “connection refused” or a “page contains no data” error).

The 404 code could be generated either by:

• Load balancer/SSL accelerator/ firewall/ Other freaky stuff on your side
• Proxy server/ firewall/ Other freaky stuff on partner’s side (this looks more likely)

I’d check that your side’s setup was fine and then push it back to the partner.

hi all,
my server is not started properly shut down after in the middle of starting .see the below…

I assume you are starting on default port 5555. It looks like you already have an application listening on this port. Try starting from a command line with the following:

server.bat (or server.sh if UNIX) -port 5556
