Hello,

I've just installed Photon trial edition. However I cannot start the server. If I try starting it as an application it starts and immidiately shutdowns in 5 seconds. When I check the log I see the following list of messages

I've searched the internet for CSocket::Bind exception. It is said in the forums that it might be because of my firewall or there may be other applications using the same port(5055 in this case). All of my firewalls and anti-virus applications are turned off at the moment and my pc runs on local(not connected to lan or internet). I've run netstat with different parameters and I dont see any program which uses port 5055... I have also tried changing this port from config file and still I get the same error. The following line however is duplicated in the log entry

Which I find very curious.

Afterwards I have tried installing photon as a service(from the tray ui) and running it as a service and this time I get the following windows runtime error:

--

Runtime Error!

Program: D:\Phot...(<probably photon bin path here>)

R6025

-pure virtual function call

Anyway... does anyone know the cause of this error?

    I've tried again with another pc(the previous one I was using was a laptop)... And I get the exact same errors there as well.

    This error is new to me, but I think it can be solved quickly.

    The default IP settings are 0.0.0.0, which makes Photon listen on all locally available IPs. This is setup in the file PhotonSocketServer.xml (in the same folder as PhotonControl.exe) and you can change all IP entries there from 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 (or any single IP you want Photon to listen to).

    Erm... Tobias plz dont laugh at me... I had not connected my PC to the network when I tried this :D... It gets resolved with Ethernet connection as I get an IP that way...

    However I believe it should operate on a machine on localhost even without network connection. I haven't tried but 127.0.0.1 would probably fix it as you said.

    Thanks for telling us!
    You are right, it should work on localhost anytime. We just never stumbled across this.

    See? I didn't laugh.
    But I cracked a smile :)

    from the error I would guess that the problem is that you configured an ip for the normal connection but not the flash / silverlight policy server. At least thats what the log indicates thus also 2 different configured ips
