I get the error:  ElevateDB error #1100. A connection to the server at 127.0.0.1 cannot be established. (Socket error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.. (10061) on API connect)

I have read the other posts in regards to this error. I have totally uninstalled all Security software on both machines and turned off Windows Firewall on both machines.

If I run ElevateDB Manager on the machine where the server is running, I can connect. If I run Elevatedb Manager on the machine that the server is not running on, I get the error.

Both machines are running Windows 8.1

Any help would be appreciated.

The address 127.0.0.1 is your local (client) machine. It is the same as LocalHost. Since the EDB server is not running on the client, this is the wrong IP Address. You need the IP address of the EDB server machine.

Go to a DOS window on the machine that is running the EDB server and type:

IPCONFIG

The line starting with "IPv4 Address: .... " contains the IP Addres you should be using on the client machine to connect to the EDB server.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Barry.  One more question.

In deploying a C/S application, I must have someone determine the IP address of the computer that the server is running on.  Is that correct?  Then this IP address must be entered on each client machine and attached to the session component.  Is that correct?

What if the IP address of the server computer changes? How do you handle this situation?

Is there a way to programmatically search for ElevateDB servers running on the network and choosing the one I want to connect to?

Thank you,
Lee

Are you talking of a LAN? If so, then you can use the host name of the
server instead of the IP.

Thank you Uli.  I appreciate it. The host name of the computer is it!
