Errors When Starting Server

VsrvTcp Listener service not started on the host

This error message is usually following by a second message that includes more details about why the connection failed.

Possible causes:

  • The VsrvTcp listener is not running.
  • To verify, run the following command on the server:
 $ps -ef | grep vsrvtcp
 root     1436088       1  0 09:30 pts/0    00:00:00 ./vsrvtcp -a
 root     1436089 1436088  0 09:30 pts/0    00:00:00 ./vsrvtcp -a
  • Invalid IP address.
  • Invalid port number.
  • To verify the default port used by VsrvTcp, issue the following command on the server:
 $grep askplus /etc/services
 askplus        29500/tcp    # vsrvTCP listener
  • The port can also be specified when starting VsrvTcp using the -n parm
 /ASKPLUS/vsrvtcp -a -n29500
  • Invalid sTunnel configuration.
  • When the 2nd part of the error is "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." it usually indicates an invalid sTunnel setup.
