Very interesting. I executed section 13.2 back when I performed the installation, and it didn't give me any trouble. The ID I am using belongs to Architects and Admin-Group, so permissions should not be an issue. However, there is one thing to note. When I installed essential, for step "10. Ins...

Jonathan, thanks for your reply, always prompt and always helpful. I didn't realize I had to restart the Protégé server to make the password and id changes take effect. Now I can get in but, as you suspected, the project list is empty. When I use the "File" option and I click on metaprojec...

I'm encountering more problems. I installed the client and I'm trying to access the server. I opened ports 5200 and 1099 in the firewall, modified the run_protege_server.bat file accordingly, restarted the server, but I still get a "Cannot connect to the server" message. I will check with ...

Jonathan, I finally succeeded by performing the installation directly on the SQL Server VM. It worked like a charm, which seems to indicate that the issue is with Azure to Azure communication. Even when I put the two VMs on the same Cloud Service, it still didn't work. Now I look at the DB and I onl...

Jonathan, Thanks for your reply. Sorry I wasn't clear. I tried both 3.4.8 and 3.5. I got the jdbc driver files from the MS website for the version of MMSSQL I am using. I renamed them as driver.jar and driver0.jar. I know the strings (jdbc and URL) are correct because it took me quite a bit to get t...

Thank you, Neil. I appreciate the clarification on Protégé 3.x vs. 4.x.

Concerning the 3.x release, I tried both 3.4.8 as 3.5, both with a clean install. Both have the same issue.
It may be an issue of OS (Win Server 2012)or some other system software. Maybe I'll try using a Linux VM instead.

I'm using SQL Server 2012 on Azure, using Protege' 3.5, because Essential won't recognize the later version of Protege'. I finally got all the strings correct and I don't get any errors. However, nothing happens either; it just hangs there, no error message whatsoever. I verified that the DB is reac...
