Proxy Error - bad address

Question

HI All,

I am simply tryiing to connect from my desktop machine to ArcGIS Server via ArcCatalog (Add GIS Server). When I attempt this from my desktop machine I get the following error:

"Error:Proxy server got a bad address from remote server (verify the server is running)." If i log onto the server itself I can make the connection using the same process as described above.

The url: http://myserver:6080/arcgis

Any ideas - I see there are some discussions on this - from what I found so far, the possible solution given do not work for me. I know it must be something simple I am missing.

Thanks for the help,

Mike

Hi Jay,

Configuring the Web Adapter and allowing admin access to the site allowed me to connect without a port.

Thanks,

Mike Bly --- If I log onto the server itself I can make the connection using the same process as                     described above.

If this is a windows server and you are able to get to the ArcGIS Server Manager after logging into the ArcGIS           Server machine, then you might just need to open port 6080 in windows firewall.
