SPSS21 Error: Attempt to connect to a remote server failed inet; local computer .0.

[lifeofageek]

hey guys,
ive been using ibm spss21 for my uni course at home for a couple of days now and when i tried to start it today i get a weird server connect pop up and the error:

Attempt to connect to a remote server failed inet; local computer .0.


what does this mean? is it easily fixable, all i did last night was shut down my pc after using it and now i have this error?

thanks in advance!

You might want to check to see if SPSS is trying to connect to a server other than your local pc,
click file -> Switch server.
You should see something like this:

If any other servers are there simply switch to the one you need to connect to, then make sure that the UserID and password are correct (where needed)

Did you set your Edit-->options-->File Locations for someplace other than the same location as SPSS?
That happened to me once and had a similar problem as you mention here.

I am pretty sure this shouldn't matter.
Actually!!
The VERY last place I want my default syntax and data file locations to be is the SPSS application directory!!!

Sorry, David, I wasn't clear--I meant to another server/drive such as a network drive that has the potential to not be connected.
Since the message notes a remote server, it seemed to be the culprit
I agree. I would not want any local files in the application directory!

thanks for your reply tom1234,

as i open up spss i get the splash screen for ages then goes to this screen, when i try to login to local computer then i get the error window. any further advice?

[Andy W]

Did it ever work? I've had similar problems over an internet *license* server connection, and once I established one valid connection it never bothered again (although re-installing caused the same issue).

I could never figure out if it was my end (e.g. a firewall blocked the connection from establishing) or it was the University's end (e.g. the license server was not functional late at night). You might try disabling your internet firewall to see if one of my suspicions was right.

[lifeofageek]

this does sound familiar, i have got it to work, both times around 9pm local time. but i get this error all during the day.

do i connect to there server  or something? i thought it was all local?

[jmorga106]

Life,
Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same problem and have been trying to resolve for two weeks. My class starts Monday and I'm getting desperate

John

[sabflores]

For everyone having this problem, the solution is simple.

Open terminal, copy and pase the following and press enter.

sudo /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/21/SPSSStatistics.app/Contents/MacOS/stats

This is for SPSS 21, Yosemite 10.10

Hope it works, it did for me.

So I tried this, granted it was on SPSS 23 (so I replaced the 21 in the path with 23) but it didn't seem to do anything...

[the Mudi MD]

I recently had a server:login error in SPSS and after trying everything I saw
on the internet, I was fed up as nothing worked. At that time I had both
SPSS  21 and 25 installed in my system and both had started the server login
problem.

I found out that it only happens if there is a significant discordance
between the system requirements of SPSS and my PC specs. this was clearly
because my system was running short of memory. I eventually uninstalled both
and deleted the SPSS folders in the 'C:\Program Files' filepath before
reinstalling the SPSS 25. Copied the crack iservc code and replaced it with
the file in the SPSS folder before pasting the code into the licensing code
space. this solved the problem. No more server: login error. tried it and it
worked on my other laptop.
