[GemStone-Smalltalk] Infamous ECONNRESET problem

Wed Mar 19 10:01:03 PDT 2014

OK never mind, it was DEP. Going through those bug notes it rang a bell and
sure enough, all is working now.

Thanks, your help is always very much appreciated.

One suggestion is to review
http://gemtalksystems.com/data/bugsByVersion/bugnotes_GSS_615-616.html for
suggestions. There are several that are Windows-specific and running a
modern version of Windows with a very old version of GemStone is likely to
have issues. (I'd be tempted to find an old machine running Windows NT and
try it!)

I assume that you have GS_MAKE_EVENTS_GLOBAL set (as we discussed in
http://forum.world.st/How-to-configure-GS-S-6-1-2-through-a-firewall-blast-f
rom-the-past-td4746063.html).

The log file you show below does not have the error. Also, when the linked
topaz crashes what does that look like? Can you provide that starting with
the topaz banner?

Client and server are on the same machine, yes. The error happens for an RPC
gem, and it happens immediately, i.e. before I ever get connected.

The logs show nothing unusual, for example my topaz gem is below.

But I just tried a linked topaz session and topaz just crashed.

But the Windows is unusual: it's virtualized on an Amazon cloud environment.
Maybe this is the problem? I thought it was Win 2008, but it appears as
"Windows ServerC Datacenter".

The error describes a network disconnect and there can be many reasons. To
understand which connection will require more investigation. Are the client
and server on the same machine? Is the client running a linked Gem or an RPC
Gem? When in the sequence of events does this happen? Immediately? After
some idle time (e.g., keep-alive expired)? What is shown in the logs? Those
are the things I would investigate...

Hi,

Still battling with that old 6.1.2 system, for a demo I need to install on a
Win 2008 server and now it just shows that error, be it from my app or even
through Topaz.

The exact wording is

Errno=10054, ECONNRESET, Connection reset by peer

Not sure what's wrong, but are there known issues related to this? Are there
some gem config settings I can change?

Thanks,

Normand
