  • When trying to access the Server UI or Gallery on the same machine through an internet browser, the same error message is returned


Cause

 

The existing DNS cache on the machine is invalid. When the machine uses it to look for the URL's corresponding IP address, it gets an invalid result and the connection fails.



Resolution

 
  1. On the machine where you are seeing this error, open Command Prompt
  2. Flush the DNS by running this command: 
    ipconfig /flushdns
