Newbies gregFireBook Posted July 20, 2011 Newbies Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi guys, I was able to connect to my FileMaker application hosted on FileMaker server over JDBC fine a couple of weeks ago but now I'm getting this error: [DataDirect][sequeLink JDBC Driver]TCP/IP error, connection refused. Session aborted due to network problems. Socket error, connection refused [sOCKET]java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused I have ODBC/JDBC enabled on the server and I've verified everything is set up as this document indicates. http://help.filemake...server-advanced Diagnostics: From client, I can ping the server. But telnet to port 2399 doesn't work: $ telnet 10.11.31.74 2399 Trying 10.11.31.74... telnet: connect to address 10.11.31.74: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host When I run a netstat -an on the server, it doesn't show that anything is listening on port 2399. There is no firewall on the server that would be blocking port 2399. So far I've tried restarting the server software, and restarting the server machine both to no avail. Do you guys have any ideas? I'm really stuck at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies gregFireBook Posted July 20, 2011 Author Newbies Share Posted July 20, 2011 Why can no one help me with this? This is terrible. I'm stuck. Is there some kind of FileMaker support for this kind of stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The netstat confirms that the port is simply not open on your server. The fact that it doesn't open up after a machine restart tells me it's either a firewall problem or that xDBC is *not* running on your FMS. Disable the firewall on the machine if it is running and try again. Also check the event log for the last FMS startup and see if it confirms that xDBC has started.

Newbies gregFireBook Posted July 22, 2011 Author Newbies Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks. This is a windows server so I don't think it uses xDBC, right? In any case the Windows firewall has always been turned off. I don't think there is any other firewall software but how would I check? I do see some error message from when I restarted. I can't figure out what they mean though: Event Type: Error Event Source: SequeLink Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 7/20/2011 Time: 10:40:17 AM User: N/A Computer: VM74-FILEMAKER Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( SequeLink ) cannot be found.

Newbies gregFireBook Posted July 22, 2011 Author Newbies Share Posted July 22, 2011 Update: This is the exact problem I'm having. I'm not sure if that helps. I'd rather not reinstall everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies gregFireBook Posted July 22, 2011 Author Newbies Share Posted July 22, 2011 Update: I figured out how to start some service manually. I guess it's what I want: C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Database Server\Extensions\xDBC Support\bin\ddfmsoc.exe -servicename FMSocket_SL55 -datamodel "C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Database Server\Extensions\xDBC Support\cfg\swandm.ini" When I started it, I got an event about a directory not existing so I created it: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\FileMaker\XDBC\logging Then it started, and I could telenet in from the client machine. But I still couldn't connect from DB Visualizer. I now see these error messages in the event viewer: Event Type: Error Event Source: FMSocket_SL55 Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 7/22/2011 Time: 8:55:54 AM User: N/A Computer: VM74-FILEMAKER Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( FMSocket_SL55 ) cannot be found.
