Socket Error

[joshuaw491]

Whenever someone other than my own host computer tries to connect to the server, I receive this error message

Socket error while waiting to send data. err=Broken pipe(32)

I've checked and forwarded Port 8000 and 8001, and I cannot think of anything else that can be done. If anyone has an Idea, I would be thankful to hear it.

Thanks,
-Josh

Please post your system specs and attach the actual log file from the DNAS if you can.

This may or may not be the DNAS, but it seemed like it was useful.

Remove or comment out the "dstip" configuration parameter from the DNAS config file and restart.

[joshuaw491]

dstip was never in my configuration.

; NOTE: for any relative paths specified are relative to
; sc_serv and not to where the conf file is being stored

; here we will setup where the log and other related files
; will be stored. make sure that these folders exist else
; sc_serv will throw an error and will close itself down.
; we will make the logs save to the sc_serv2 directory
logfile=logs/sc_serv.log
w3clog=logs/sc_w3c.log
banfile=control/sc_serv.ban
ripfile=control/sc_serv.rip


; for testing we will make the server only work locally
; (i.e. localhost / 127.0.0.1) though if this is left out
; or set to publicserver=always then we attempt to make a
; connection to the YP for listing - do not forget to add
; in a 'streamauthhash' value for any public streams made
publicserver=always


; if you're wanting to use a different port to use for any
; connections then you can use this option e.g. to use 80
; otherwise port 8000 is used as the default to listen on.
portbase=8000


; password used by sc_trans or the Winamp dsp plug-in
; NOTE: remember to change this to something else
password=********


; password used for accessing the administation pages
; NOTE: remember to change this to something else
adminpassword=*******


; now we will specify the details of the stream we're going
; to serve which can be done as follows
streamid=1
streampath=/1064robotics.aac

if anything, i'd say that is just the client connection ending but without a means to try the stream to see what happens, i cannot say much else as the config file is fine (i assume you have removed the streamauthhash line - which is the correct thing to do - based on the log output showing a YP connection was made).

-daz

[joshuaw491]

I did not remove the AuthHash, but I will try doing so and see what happens.

[DrO]

noooooo!!!! don't do that.

i only mentioned it since it wasn't in the config file contents provided and just wanted to clarify not publically posting it was correct and just to get confirmation that you were running with one.

all i wanted was a link to the stream to see if it cut out or acted weirdly.

-daz

[joshuaw491]

Yeah, I just commented it out, did't work, so it's back in. here's a link :

http://174.74.118.85:8000/listen.pls?sid=1

http://174.74.118.85:8000/index.html?sid=1

[DrO]

ok that explains everything. for some reason the DNAS is getting the host address from the client connection as being a VPN based address which causes it to be provided as 10.0.1.22:8000/1064robotics.aac

try setting dstip=174.74.118.85 in your config file as it should force the client-side address to be what is needed. if that doesn't work then i'll need to at least send you a newer build to try out and then try to go from there - though most likely it's something with the network setup which is altering the 'host' value in the http headers which are analysed when the client connection is attempted.

-daz

[joshuaw491]

Alright. I will give it a shot.

[DrO]

ok, wasn't sure if you were going to be able to bind to the address or not.

basically there's not too much i can do as no one else seeing this issue has had anything in the http headers detected by the request which provides the external url/ip that the client used to access it i.e. the ip that is actually wanted.

i do have a workaround in the internal DNAS builds but it also requires usage of an updated YP backend to provide the external IP the YP has i.e. the address which is known to work so that's not going to be an option at the moment.

unless someone else can provide some way to work out what in the network config is causing the issue (as the machine appears to be on a vpn - and i'd assume you're not going to be able to locate it outside of that), i'm not sure there's much which can be done until the next build of the DNAS happens with it's matching YP update (which i don't have any eta on it happening).

[joshuaw491]

The computer is not on a VPN, but what do you think about a direct-connect to the modem?

[DrO]

you can try that to see if it helps. i can only base it on being on a VPN type setup due to the IP address reported beginning with 10.xxxx which is what is used for VPN's.

-daz

[joshuaw491]

And some routers. But I will try changing some settings.
