Re: [OpenSTA-users] Gateway initialization problem

[Olivier P. <opa...@la...>]

Hi again, Mr. Velvilis, and thank you for your reply.
To be more precise, I am using Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2 and IE7.
Also, I installed it on another computer (with admin privs) so I am sure it
is not an installation problem.
Moreover, the error with the gateway cannot be made from a problem of
shutting it down because it happened on the first time, so I it never opened
right. 
Finally, to give you a better idea of the gateway problem, I runned
gateway.exe through a console and it gave me that log:
Initialize the gateway...
Close listener on <10.10.11.1:7208>.
!!               WSAEADDRINUSE,              Address already in use.,
   Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/IP address/port) is
normally
permitted. This error occurs if an application attempts to bind a socket to
an I
P address/port that has already been used for an existing socket, or a
socket th
at wasn't closed properly, or one that is still in the process of closing.
For s
erver applications that need to bind multiple sockets to the same port
number, c
onsider using setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR). Client applications usually need not
cal
l bind at all - connectwill choose an unused port automatically.

So thanks again for your help,

Olivier ,

Based on prior questions of the same nature, It is likely that gateway is
not gracefully shutting down when you stop recording. So when you try to
start another recording, you get the init error. I trust you are not using
Vista. IE7 is know to not work with HTTPS recording. IE7 can also try to
open HTTPS links when trying to do "anti-phishing" stuff which causes
problems. If on Vista, try XP or Win 2003. If IE6 is an option, try that ...

OpenSTA 1.4.4, IE6, and Win 2003 or XP Pro are a proven stable combination.

Lastly, something might have gotten trashed in the install. Be sure you have
admin privs both to install and run OpenSTA. To re-install, run the .msi
file, and select remove. Reboot. Run the .msi and  select install. Reboot. 
Try a fresh recording, using IE6 if possilbe.

All the best,

Hi again Mr. Velivis,
I am really glad of your support. This is well appreciated.
First, just to be clear, I am having problem with the gateway initialization
before browsing any pages (I did not do any recording). So it won't be
useful to give you a page that I want to record.
I tried all of your ideas (I tried IE6, I tried changing the registry,
turning off anti-phishing, and changing the MaxUserPort registry) and there
were no good result.
Also, I am not going through a gateway to access the Internet.
Hope this will help,
Olivier


-----------------------------------------------------------
Hi Olivier,

This is the first time I have seen a 10048 error during recording. This
error is common during playback and a solubtion is described here
http://portal.opensta.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&pagename=Playb
ackAddressInUse&file=index

Please read the above and try increasing MaxUserPort in the registry. I
doubt the gateway reads the TExecuter_web.ini file, but you can try making
the changes for linger and reuseadr specified by the URL I asked you to
read.

A few other things;

1) Is the URL private or is it available over the internet? (If I can
experience the error myself, it might give me some inspiration. Fee free to
email me privately with the URL if it can be reached via the internet.)
2) How many pages do you visit before the error occurs during recording? If
it does not happen on the first page, what happens if you stop the recording
before the failure? Is a script generated?
3) Can you reproduce this with IE6?
4) Do you normally go through a gateway (not OpenSTA's gateway)  to access
the web site?
5) Does turning off IE7's anti-phishing features help?

All the best,

[Bernie V. <Ber...@iP...>]

Hi Olivier,

I wish I had something more to offer you but I believe there is something 
unique about your PC that is causing problems. I encourage you to try 
another computer, preferably one with a clean windows install (2003 or XP 
Pro SP2) with IE6.

All the best,
