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.

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.

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:

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:
