title: Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2.2 Unable to connect to Essbase Administrator Server from the Essbase Admin Console
body: <p>So I'm a newbie at Essbase - I've installed the EPM system - the Essbase admin services are up and running but for some reason, I'm not able to connect to the Admin Server through the EAS console. I get this error - <code>"Could not connect to Administration Service &lt;IP&gt;"</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So I looked at the log file <code>-HyS9EPMServer-sysout.log</code>:</p>

  <p>I cannot understand what the issue is since the server is up and running. I've searched high and low online and have found no solution to this problem. </p>
