V4 Server Set-up problem |
Mon, Mar 5 2007 4:41 AM | Permanent Link |
adam | Silly, Silly problem ... I really ought to be able to sort out myself.
Setting up V4 at a customers site, they have V3 running happily. They have bought a new PC to run as server for V4. I have the DBSRVR running on 192.168.001.001, ports 12005 & 12006 as usual ... I am trying to run SRVAdmin utility to set up the database. Options are set up exactly as per the SRVR, 192. ... etc. But when I log on (using the default password & username) I get a 11,276 "connection has been lost" error. -- Is there some setting on the new PC (set up Win XP Pro) that might be blocking me? ... If it is something like a port-setting or port-forwarding on the new PC could anyone give me some advice about how to change it?? as it's not something I know much about. Adam |

If so, then the issue is that you can't run both the v3 and v4 servers using the same ports (12005 and 12006). They have to bind to different ports. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I only ever run it as an EXE not as a Windows Service so I don't think it can still be affecting anything. This is a serious / silly problem for me. I come up against it regularly & it always takes more effort than I would like to set right. Its not DBISAM's problem, its always something in the stupid way that Windows Networking "works" ... and I'm not knowledgeable enough about networking to get round it fast. -- Here's my DBSRVR ini: ; DBISAM Database Server Parameters INI File [Server Parameters] Server Name=FMServer Server Description=Fullwell Mill Server 2007 Server Address=192.168.0.200 Server Port=12005 Server Thread Cache Size=20 Administration Address=192.168.0.200 Administration Port=12006 Administration Thread Cache Size=4 Configuration File=FMSys Configuration Password=FMServer ; 0=main server allows unencrypted connections (default) 1=main server allows only encrypted Encrypted Only=0 ; Default encryption password is elevatesoft Encryption Password=FMServer ; 0=show user interface (default) 1=hide user interface No User Interface=0 ; 0=overwrite log file (default) 1=append to log file Append To Log=0 ; 0=no large file support (default) 1=enable large file support Large File Support=0. -- My ServerAdmin utility is set to: IP 192.168.0.200 & port 12006. The DBSRVR application is visible in the task bar & shows it is active when I right click. -- I can ping 192.168.0.200 from the whole network. If I run ServerAdmin on the server machine I get a 11280 error "connection cannot be established". -- I urgently need to fix this problem & have no real idea about where to get more detailed help. Any suggestions (networking information?), including stuff I have to pay for gratefully received. I would love to understand this problem well enough to be able to fix it quickly whenever it occurs!

adam | Dear All,
Problem fixed ... though I am still not reallyany wiser. ... Removing the specific IP address from my DBSRVR.ini file (infact deleting the DBSRVR.ini file altogether) so that the Server is working on ALL ADDRESSES has fixed the problem. I can now log on to it via SRVAdmin from anywhere. PHEW. ... I would still like to know why it didn't work on a specific address though! The only difference is that the new machine is Win XP Pro, newly installed, the old machine was Win2000. The joys of Windows Networking. Adam |
