Hi,

I'm currently trying to run a DBISam server (copy of default source) in the
Delphi IDE and connect to it using SrvAdmin.exe on the same machine. When I
try to connect however I get the following:

Returned by the SrvAdmin utility:
Error retrieving server information - DBISAM Engine Error #11276 The
connection to the database server at 'localhost' has been lost

Returned in the Delphi IDE (Running the Engine):
Project dbsrvr.exe raised exception class ESocketError with message 'Windows
socket error: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
(10054), on API 'recv'

The DBSRVR application running in the IDE does not raise this error to the
user - only in the debugger.

The only differences between this compiled versions and the default ones
that I can think of is that I have changed the Engine Signature, but I have
done these on both.

I have turned off my firewalls just incase it was a firewall issue.

I have tried using both hostname 'localhost', IP address '127.0.0.1' and the
network IP address '192.168.0.189' of my development machine to connect
without success.

I know this is going to be a simple answer - but haven't been able to figure
out what it is todate.

The error occurs immediately as I try to 'connect' using the SrvAdmin
utility.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Using DBISam 4.28b4 on Vista Business in Delphi 2007.

Thanks & Regards

Adam.

I believe this is usually caused by the engine signature being different on
server and utilities (srvadmin in your case).

You mentioned that you have changed it on both but could you just confirm
and recompile both engine and srvadmin.

Have you tried hitting server with dbsys ? (recompiled with new signature of
course).

Adam,

I'm with Raul on this one - I would double-check the signatures to make sure
that they match.  If you want, just send both the DBSrvr and the SrvAdmin
utility code to me and I'll find out what the issue.

Hi Raul and Tim,

Thanks for your replies...

Went back and did a build instead of a compile this time and it's worked.
Haven't made any changes to the code so maybe a compile just wasn't cutting
it.

Anyway - all good now.

Cheers

Adam.
