      Has anyone seen this before. We are trying to recieve messages from and outside facility using vpn. This has been an ongoing struggle because we are not recieving their messages. We have our tech guys and a cisco engineer looking into it and they think it is the engine not allowing the message. We are trying to figure out what the error means. Any help would be great.

          Run netstat -a and see if the socket has multiple entries.  If so, do you have some in FIN_WAIT_2?  I would suspect the VPN times out, drops the connection, but it has not reset yet, but only if you see a FIN_WAIT_2 or two.

          Hope this helps,

            Kevin,

            Take a look at this thread…it should answer your questions

            https://usspvlclovertch2.infor.com/viewtopic.php?t=1100&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lsof

            Short answer is you have a port conflict with either another defined port within Cloverleaf or another OS process.

            If the link doesn’t work…search for ‘lsof’ and click on the post that says “unable to bind tcp/ip socket: address already in use”.

            Let me know if this leads you to other questions.

            Thanks.

            Steve

              Thank you both, we have been fighting this issue for a few months now and just found it out. The port was being used by something else, the techs explained it to me but it’s not my strong suit so i cant intelligently repeat what they said but i get the idea.

              Thanks for your ideas, most helpful.
