Re: Could not Create Socket

Odd...I started getting the same error again today. (described below) It had been running fine for the two weeks since my first post.

I restarted FoxWeb...no improvement.

I restarted the web server...no improvement.

I did not reboot the box.

I went through the steps described in http://www.foxweb.com/Win2000Fix.asp again. I added the foxweb service user, in addition to the web server user, just for good measure.

I restarted both services, and now the FoxWeb pages are coming up just fine.

FWIW,

I am in the process of upgrading one of our live servers, www.ket.org, from FoxWeb v1.29 to v2.6. I was getting the following error in the browser.

FoxWeb Message

The FoxWeb Service has returned the following message:

Could not Create Socket

After much head-scratching, I applied the Win2000 fix found at http://www.foxweb.com/Win2000Fix.asp .

This fixed the problem. Only now do I recall I made the same discovery a few months ago. I miss my other brain cell sometimes. ;-)

Note that the user you need to grant permissions to is the user (or users) that the web server runs as. I initially granted this permissions to the user the FoxWeb service ran as, which is not what was needed.

I'm posting this here so I can find it again next time. If it helps you, too, then so much the better.
