My thoughts and findings on Microsoft Information worker technologies, including MCMS and SharePoint 2007 (MOSS).

K2 BlackPearl - Unable to connect to the Workspace
I've been working with K2 BlackPearl since August last year.  This is the first of many (hopefully) posts on BlackPearl.
 
After you install K2 BlackPearl and open the workspace you may see the following error message "Unable to connect to server name on port 5252 No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
 
 
To resolve this issue you need to start the K2 windows service.  Starting the K2 server console also fixes the issues but is designed to be used by a developer for diagnosing issues and tracing information.
  1. Open Services (Administrative Tools > Services).
  2. Scroll down to the K2 [blackpearl] server.
  3. Right click service and click start.
  4. Go back to the workspace and the error shouldn't appear.

Thank You!

I cant believe it was that simple of a solution.  Spent over 30 minutes on the K2 underground site and filtering so many other similar problems with port 5252 and there was no resolution.
