Problem Symptoms:
?€¢ In the pds_server.log:
======
[metalib_x_server::handle_login] Error: Cannot make connection to server host:port
======

Cause:
The connection could not be established to the Metalib host since it is invalid or there is a firewall blocking.

Resolution:
Check the <hostname> and <port> defined in the relevant /exlibris/metalib/mX_Y/pds/conf_table/tab_service.inst file under the ?€˜params?€™ section.

Run: telnet <hostname> <port>
And check that the connection can be established.
If it doesn?€™t ?€“ check the validity of that hostname or check the firewall setting with that spesific hostname and port.
