Introduction
An error occurs during a K2 Server Farm configuration of K2 blackpearl 0803 when the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the server farm does not include the FQDN of the domain.
This article will describe the error involved, and how to resolve the issue.
Domain Name Part of Configuration Manager Validation
The FQDN of a server farm usually also contains the FQDN of the domain name. For example, a server farm that is configured as k2server.k2workflow.com exists within the k2workflow.com domain. In situations where the FQDN of the server farm does not contain the FQDN of the domain, the K2 Configuration Manager’s validation of the FQDN will fail and the “Next” button will remain disabled.
For example, if the server farm is configured using Mango03.test.sourcecode.net but the domain is mydna.msds.sourcecode.net, the K2 Configuration Manager will not validate the FQDN of the server farm
For example, if the server farm is configured using Mango03.test.sourcecode.net but the domain is mydna.msds.sourcecode.net, the K2 Configuration Manager will not validate the FQDN of the server farm
