[protege-discussion] Unable to connect to remote protege server using Ontology rich client invoked from webprotege

[Tania Tudorache]

Kai,

Please enable the Java console, as described here:

https://trancheproject.org/users/console.jsp

and post the messages you see in the console.

Questions: Did you connect to the Protege server from the rich client 
from the same machine as the web client?

What Java version are you using?

Tania
