"No REST endpoint found" when trying to mount Knime Server

Hi Team,

I am trying connect to Knime Server but get the below error message.
Somehow, the field does not show the “Use REST” checkbox as well as the “Server Login Credentials” field.

I am using Knime Analytics Platform version v4.3.0.v202012022156

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello,

If you type in the server address and then click on the “Mount ID” box, it should reach out to the server address and request the REST endpoint automatically. That’s how it works when I test it. Once it makes the REST endpoint connection, it should automatically fill in the Mount ID box, and you should be good to hit OK.

Please let me know if that still doesn’t work for you.

It’s not working for me. It shows a similar thing in my Knime platform also. Do we need to make changes in server address?

Hi Anurag,

Can you clarify what OS and version of AP you’re using, and maybe show us via screenshots what it’s doing?

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response and sorry for the delay from my side.
I am using 64 bit machine with Windows 10 pro.
Knime version 4.4.0
PFA the screenshot of the error.

You need to type the server address into the “server address” field and insert “/knime” at the end, e.g., https://11.111.1.111/knime. It should then work as @NDekay describes above. Getting a response can also depend on the server’s permissions so check your local machine can ping the server, etc.

Thanks, @arrtee. I did that but it’s still showing the same error.

Hi Anurag,

You just put in the server address in the format:

http://host:port/knime/
e.g. http://localhost:8080/knime
or http://myserverip:8080/knime/

when you click out of ‘server address’ box (i always click over to mount ID), it will at that point reach out via REST to the REST endpoint on that server and get the mount ID, and fill in the box for you. At that point you’re done, just click OK and then go connect to it.

I just activated a test server and did these steps with AP 4.4.0 so it should work.

Hi these 2 solution didn’t work for me, I tried deleting the mount point and creating it again and now it won’t find the REST endpoint at all:

Try putting in the port number, e.g.:
http://host:port/knime/

So http://knimeXXX.com:8080/knime/ (or whatever your domain name would be).

Even I have not found a way to connect to the server i am using the Knime 5.1 version and it says NO REST endpoint found I entered everything correctly.

Do you have a KNIME Server running on your machine?

Hello @kvkarthik ,

As @laaaarsi mentions, your server name/address is http://localhost:8080/knime, so it is going to query the REST endpoint at that server. Do you have the server up and running on your computer at this point when you are adding the mount point?
