#10 Can't configure File to socket mode

[Marc]

Hi,

I read several times the readme file, but I missed something.

I have local HL7 files I want to send thru socket to an other computer. On the second one, a tool (not socketreader) is listening on a port (21110), firewall is off on both computers.

[outgoing_socket]
queuename = file-to-socket
transtech = socket
transdir = out
messagedir=D:/socket/files
usehl7 = true
useack = True
queuedb = D:/socket/queue
createserversocket = False
ipaddr = localhost
port = 21110

I tried different cases with ipaddr and createserversocket. Is the section correct ?

When I run socketReader32.exe, I get this error in the log file :

2014-08-28 10:12:28,447 - Main - CRITICAL - socketReader 1.2.4 is starting up.

Thanks for your help !

Hi Marc,

it seems that you missed a few statements in your config. In addition to your outgoing-socket adapter, you need to configure a file-in adapter. Please see example.cfg for a template (there it is named incoming_file). Also, please do set up the [general] section of your config accordingly.

Best regards!
