I suspect this might be an easy one…
I’ve just set up a new server. A simple LotusScript agent runs (invoked by ?OpenAgent on the web). The script creates a document and saves it - that works ok. The next line of code tries to send the document. I’m using doc.Send(False,“”)
It doesn’t seem to matter who the recipient is… I get the same result. The Send fails and on the server console it says:
“Error connecting to server . The server is not responding…”
How come the server cannot see itself ? I’ve tried pinging it from itself, using the IP address AND the server name and that works ok.
Suggestions gratefully received.

Make sure the address is correctly specified in the server document. Check the Ports tab. You will have to restart the server if you change the address here. Hope this helps.

Thank you Steven. I had put the server external IP address in the port settings rather than its internal IP address.
Having said that, in looking through this forum and the Notes help, redbooks, etc, there is a lot of conflicting advice over what should go in the address field. A tiny bit of advice (in field help) from Lotus would go a long way.

As per technote 1107271 set this field to the simple or fully qualified host name (not IP address) of the server and restart the server.
