Get Simple Remote Akka Application Running

Question

I am trying to set up a simple server/client akka (using Akka 2.0.3) application, but it failed to connect. Beforehand here is the basic code:

import com.ty         


        

Answer 1

localhost usually means 127.0.0.1, which is only one of the possibly many interfaces (cards) in a computer. The server binding to localhost won't receive connections connecting to the other interfaces (including the one with the external address).

You should either specify the external address in the server, or 0.0.0.0 which means "bind to all interfaces".
