njfx Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I tried following the sesi documenation on hqsetup.But unable to get it working. Could anyone direct how to make this work ? I am able to see the client but render is coming out failed ERROR: Cannot open file W:/3D_project/0038_HoudiniProjects/HQTEST/HqTest1.hip This drive is on the server. client is using the windows login username and password to run the service. What am i doing wrong ? # The shared network. hqserver.sharedNetwork.host = localhost hqserver.sharedNetwork.path.linux = %(here)s/shared hqserver.sharedNetwork.path.windows = \\render-04\hq hqserver.sharedNetwork.path.macosx = %(here)s/HQShared hqserver.sharedNetwork.mount.linux = /mnt/hq hqserver.sharedNetwork.mount.windows = H: hqserver.sharedNetwork.mount.macosx = /Volumes/HQShared # Server port number. hqserver.port = 5000 # Where to save job output job_logs_dir = %(here)s/job_logs # Specify the database for SQLAlchemy to use sqlalchemy.default.url = sqlite:///%(here)s/db/hqserver.db # This is required if using mysql sqlalchemy.default.pool_recycle = 3600 # This will force a thread to reuse connections. sqlalchemy.default.strategy = threadlocal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourfather Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Stop the service completely. There's a batch script in the hqclient directory to launch the client. I'm sure a Windows administrator could explain why but for some reason the services have different permissions and can't see network drives (at least that's been my experience).

loopyllama Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Definitely do what Luke suggests. Also, can the client access the path through mapped drive W? Sometimes mapped drives get a red x next to them and you need to double click on the mapped drive to "wake it up". You said the file is on the server, but the software doesn't copy over the hip file or anything like that. The client must be able to access it through the path listed.

lukeiamyourfather Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Use the client locally installed on each render machine (i.e. C:\HQueueClient\hqclientd.bat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew-fx Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Use the client locally installed on each render machine (i.e. C:\HQueueClient\hqclientd.bat). I did it with ur suggest, but other problem comes out. There are 4 workstation installed HQueue,one is server, 3 of them set to client machine. Client machine options are same,and my Houdini worked with server license. All things looks great,but... the info shows that HQclient cannot connect server on monitor. (ps: only one client machine is working) and also failed my tasks or abandon client. firewall has been closed. shared folder is ok. Client machine settings are correct. client server was stopped and starting with *.bat . how to fix it? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebkaine Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) hi Andrew have you try to follow precisly my install tutorial ? http://forums.odforce.net/topic/24063-is-hqueue-for-indie-a-production-ready-tool-under-windows/page-2 it should work on W7 and W10 ! I would only focus for the moment on one client machine and one server , when this works you can reproduce your process on each client. Cheers E Edited February 18, 2016 by sebkaine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
