Rapid Miner From Standalone Desktop PC

Windows 8, 64bit
RapidMiner 5.3

I can connect to the marketplace manually, but not from RapidMiner as I do not have any proxy, host ftp etc set up on my standalone pc.
Version 5.1 connected from within RapidMiner without any further Settings / System data needed.

What do I now need to set up in addition?

Hi,

what Java do you have? Java 7 64bit? Could you please start RapidMiner with the RapidMinerGUI.bat script in the scripts folder from a console and try to connect to the marketplace.
In case of an error, it should be shown in the console.

Best,
Nils

robert99

Thank you.

The default Java for Windows 8 64 bit is still 32 bit I believe (installation does not indicate which).

I installed the 32 bit version of RapidMiner 5.3 but got the same problem with marketplace access.

I tried your bat file without success except that following errors were given for RAPIDMINER_HOME and findstr :

"

(RapidMiner 5.1, 32 bit still works without a problem.)

What do I need to do for 5.3?

Nils_Woehler

Hi,

this seems as if Windows 8 has removed the findstr command or your path is broken.
Can you please check your PATH (echo %PATH%)?

Best,
Nils

robert99

Thank you

The paths I currently have as set are as follows:

The PATH seems to be fine. What happens if you just type in 'where findstr' in your console? For me the result is C:\Windows\System32\findstr.exe
Furthermore, what does 'echo %SystemRoot% say?

robert99

Console does not recognise "where" command but searching with Explorer finds findstr.exe in 4 places

findstr
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
findstr
C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-findstr...
findstr
C:\Windows\System32
findstr
C:\Windows\WinSxS\amdß4_microsoft-windows-fin...

echo %SytemRoot" gives C:\Windows

Nils_Woehler

Than there seems to be something wrong with your system configuration.
If %SystemRoot% yields 'C:\Windwos' and '%SystemRoot%\System32;' is on your path and your explorer finds findstr in 'C:\Windows\System32'
than from my view it should be found when executing the RapidMinerGUI.bat script..

Without the error message from the console it is hard to discover the error. Maybe we should take another approach.
What does the error message say that appears when you try to connect to the marketplace from within RapidMiner?

Best,
Nils

You might want to go to www.java.com and use the option to have your Java version checked.

Hello,

I have now found that Windows CMD has to be run as Administrator in W8.

I re-ran rapidminergui.bat as below:
RapidMiner started at the end of the process but I still
cannot connect from RM to the marketplace / updates.

When I try the Help/ Updates and Extension (Marketplace)
the error message is:

Update Failed
Cannot connect to Marketplace server.
Please check your internet connection and proxy configuration

On the opening page of RM there is a manual link to Marketplace and this does work on clicking.

I can confirm I have latest Java 7 Update 17 and it is 32 bit and is set in browser.

Can you please check the update server URL? It's in the update tab of the preferences and should be 'http://marketplace.rapid-i.com:80/UpdateServer'.

robert99

Thank you.

Checked.
The URL was already set correctly in the Update tab.

Still not connecting to marketplace from within RM though.

Maybe Robert should also try if it makes a difference when RapidMiner is started by doubleclicking the Executable Jar File ...\RapidMiner5\lib\rapidminer.jar. It does make a difference on my machine (Windows 7, 64 bit). When I start RapidMiner by doubleclicking the jar file I can connect to MS SQL Server, when I click on the program icon I can't. I have not found out why.

Roland

robert99

Roland,

Thank you for the suggestion.
RM ran on clicking the jar file but the marketplace problem remains.

I have checked my AV (Kaspersky) and RM and RMgui.bat is set as Trusted

If I go back to 5.1 can the latest add-ons / extensions (5.3) work with RM 5.1 ?

Nils_Woehler

Does your error screen look like this?

Best,
Nils

robert99

The error box does not give any details nor any options for seeing Details

Nils_Woehler

Hm, I'm sorry. Than I can't help you with the current version. Could you please download the latest version 5.3.7 and test if the problem still exists?

robert99

Thanks for trying.

I downloaded the 32 bit latest version but the problem is exactly the same.
A hunch is that some small part of 5.3 revision does not recognise I have installed RM on my D drive.

If I go back to version 5.1, which works fine, will there be any problems with extensions and their updates?

Nils_Woehler

We have changed the API for 5.3 which may lead to problems with updated extensions. But we didn't check as we do strongly recommend to always use the latest version available.

FWIW, I found that on my machine I have two Java versions installed: 32 bit and 64 bit. The latter was installed with RapidMiner. They appear in the Windows Task manager as "Javaw.exe *32" and "Javaw.exe" respectiveley. Depending on how I start RapidMiner I see one or the other in the Windows Task Manager.
