Cannot start server with Lantastic |
Thu, Apr 20 2006 3:20 PM | Permanent Link |
Lance R | I received a report (still waiting for exact OS details) of a customer who has Lantastic and when they start the server, it then stops.
The server is Version 4.21 Build 2. Any suggestions for things to look for? |

Lance R | Apparently, it's an XP Pro machine and while it has Lantastic, it also has TCP/IP.
Apparently they do not conflict and Lantastic only accomodates file sharing with a networked DOS client. So something must be blocking the server from starting. Suggestions? XP Firewall I'm sure is one place to look.

Get a copy of madexcept, compile it in and look what you get. I'd assume that it's a filesharing exception. It might be a similar issue to Novell and other older network systems that are not 100% compatible to the filesharing flags in te winapi. -- Hannes Danzl [NexusDB Developer] Newsgroup archive at http://www.tamaracka.com/search.htm |

"Lance R." | I recently picked up Eurekalog, so I'll try that route... See if an
exception is being generated. Thanks for the idea.

<< I received a report (still waiting for exact OS details) of a customer who has Lantastic and when they start the server, it then stops. >> So, basically the database server process is still running, but it can't bind/listen on the desired IP address/port ? That is usually due to an issue with some other process already listening on the given address/port. If you use netstat -a, it will list all of the current connections and bindings as well as what address/port they are using. That should at least tell you if something is using the port already. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Lance R | Not my choice. Just what some of my clients have. The primary app the
clients have is DOS based and the computer their app is only DOS. So the networked computer that my app is on is XP Pro and has Lantastic in order to provide file sharing. Having or having not Lantastic is outside the scope of my app, so not much I can do.

Lance R | I forgot about port conflicts. The chances of a conflict with the
default DBISAM ports would be rare, but @#$@#$ happens. After further working with the client, they've developed some very weird issues and their OS tossed its cookies. So I'll wait till their back up and start again. Thanks all for the ideas.
