Error Connecting to Server

Post by Scott »

This is just a reminder that this post ( http://forums.summitcn.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1364 ) is in the CS version section. I have recently had a few people ask me this question, so I wanted to remind everyone of this flow chart that will guide you through getting the connection working.

This is highly unusual for it to stop at all. Ours has been running for nearly 6 months straight.

Go to your log file and look for the entries marked Eror and read what they say. The 2 most common errors are TCP errors, or dongle not found.

If it is a TCP error, then you do have a problem with your network, like a switch resetting its ports, a bad cable, or a device upstream from the server momentarily losing its connection. Replace cables and devices if necessary.

If it is a dongle error, then stop the server, remove the dongle, and re-insert it into a different USB port from where it was originally. Once the new port is recognized and you get a steady green light on the dongle, start the server again.

dcon is a normal client disconnect. Look for the message with eror in it like below.

140422082422 Eror License: Dongle Not Found

The first block is the time stamp (YYMMDDHHMMSS), then the type of event (Admn, Host, Conn, Dcon, Eror), and the last part is a description. If the server shuts itself down there will be an Eror entry explaining why it happened.
