WEBDB - Connection to server reset...

I'm having the same problem when working from any machine other
than the db server machine. It happens consistently from a
parameter form for a report, or a query form for a table. Any
query that takes more than a half or three quarters of a second
gets interupted with the "Connection to server was reset"
error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

I'm having this problem yet, but i found that using a proxy
server, like Squid, the problem doesn't come out !
What timeout or parameter maybe involved ?
Thanks

  • TS1398 my kids disabled my ipad and I had to wait 15mins to log in, from then on I have had difficulty connecting to wifi, but can, but then I can't connect to server.  I have reset network settings etc.  It also did the same thing to my iphone at same ti

    My iPad got disabled and once I waited the 15 minutes I logged in, but from then on I could not connect to server dispite having 2-3 bars of wifi signal.  The same thing happened to my iphone5 at the same time although this had not been touched by my 3yr olds.  My wifi is very intermittent and often it goes from 3g to GPRS on my iphone. I have reset network settings, turned devices off by home button and off button, removed sim card in phone, etc. I'm stuck.

    Hi 30daysnow,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing wireless connectivity issues on your iPad and iPhone.
    Since you mention having unexpected behavior on both Wi-Fi and 3g (cellular) connections, see these articles for more helpful troubleshooting tips:

  • I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies

    I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies & history and hard reset a number of times. I can open other websites no problems.
    Any help appreciated.

    You cleared cookies and data in Settings>Safari? Did you close Safari as well before you reset the iPad? Double tap the home button and drag the Safari thumbnail up to the top of the screen to close it.

  • TS3212 unable to download... connection to server was reset.

    While trying to download iTunes, I received the message "unable to download... connection to server was reset".

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Upgraded to iOS7 but cant accept the terms and conditions as it is 'unable to connect to server' on both my iPhone and iPad, whilst my collegues all could accept them...RESET did NOT work. Any alternative thoughts?

    upgraded to iOS7 but cant accept the terms and conditions as it is 'unable to connect to server' on both my iPhone and iPad, whilst my collegues all could accept them...RESET did NOT work. Any alternative thoughts?

    I got it to work by enabling cookies in safari settings and turning off private browsing. Cookies are probably the key thing here. Accept button will appear at bottom right of first screen of agreement.

  • How to reset connection to server?

    Somehow when clients  are logging in they are retaining a login that  doesn't allow them to see the shares from  the
    Snow leopard server. I've trashed managed prefs, trashed the keychain and recreated, but when the client
    Logs in, and performs a connect to server command, it auto attempts to login to the server and the account credentials
    Are no longer valid.
    I'm  thinking next it might be a plist acting up somewhere
    But where?

    Titan,
    I performed all five steps, & the issue still persists.
    On another machine in this same lab, with the same issue,
    to rule out accounts, I went to that machine and erased all accounts,
    and created a new Admin account.
    Logged in as that user, and the issue still occurs:
    When trying login to the server via afp at afp://fqdn
    it tries to "auto login" into a share with credentials it no longer has
    (you cannot login to the share 'xxxx' because you do not have privileges to do so)
    What it needs to do is present the proper login screen, so that new credentials
    ( name and password) can be entered to access the new share.
    that window never comes up; it isntead tries to "auto login" with credentials
    it stored SOMEWHERE, for an old share.
    At this point, I'm going to try re-installing the system folder ( w/ Archive and Install)
    as I've ruled out it's not in a user account that is causing the issue, but the system itself,
    as by my new test above.

  • I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year.  I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".

    I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year.  I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".  I could swear the last time I used cellular data you would see the signal in the upper left corner and I only see "no service" there, I am in a location where I know I should have service.  Is there something I should do to my IPAD?  I tried resetting, I tried clearing cookies and history in Safari (after reading a post n these discussions).  I don't know what to do next. My IOS version is 6.1.3.  I did go into Network from the general tab and I see it says "SIM not provisioned".    HELP and Thank you in advance.

    Hello Theresa818,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
    I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Update your iPad.
    Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
    Restart your iPad.
    Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
    Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPad as new.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I am unable to receive or send email from my IPAD.  The error message says "Connection to server failed".  Help!! geandreamer44

    I am unable to receive or send email from my IPAD.  The error message says "Connection to server failed".  Help!! geandreamer44

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above helped, restart your router.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • How to resolve on my iPad: Unable to connect to server error when trying to log into Game Center?

    When I try to log into the game center, i get an error message that says: unable to connect to server due to an error communicating with the server.
    I have logged off iTune and any other app I was logged in, I have done a hard reset of my iPad, I have reset my modem, but nothing had any impact and I am now frozen out of my game center.
    Anybody has an idea of how to resolve this?
    Thanks,
    J

    1) May be there is a mismatch with the jar file name and the filename in the jad properties ( happens only if you rename the jar file)
    2) Check hollywood jad properties and the ringtone jad properties. May be the complete url is required for the jar file.
    3) If you are using any restricted APIs in your midlet, then make sure your jad properties has the required permissions.

    The local Admin Password was reset to the "original" (after install) one.
    Any ideas how to fix the problem?

    Dear all,
    the encryption was NO on all protocols.
    Because no additional ideas available, i uninstalled the SQL Server on friday.
    At the Re-Install Process i got again an error:
    [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the
    other end of the pipe .
    The install process failed.
    On google i found the same problem in an other thread:
    http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.connect/browse_thread/thread/dbec4a9a271f69a6/7cd22694da3a6062?lnk=st&q=%22Shared+Memory+Provider%3A+No+process+is+on+the+other+end+of+the+pipe%22&rnum=2&hl=en#7cd22694da3a6062
    ++++++
    During the installation process of SQL Server 2005, Setup complains it cannot
    connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was:
    [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the
    other end of the pipe .
    I have checked that the pipe exists (\\.\pipe\SQLLocal\MyInstance), but
    everytime the installer attempts the connecting the pipe is closed by the
    server and another is reopened. That's why the Client says there is no
    process on the other end of the pipe.
    I have re-installed 'everything', tried connections via TCP, but nothing
    works.
    I have made a small application to connect to the pipe and noticed that
    there are 3 instances of the pipe running, one that I am connecting to, and 2
    listening pipes. If I write to 'my' pipe SQL server disconnects the pipe and
    reopens another too. The difference is that SQL server writes an error
    message in the log file. No such luck when the Native client is doing the
    same.
    What more can I do?
    ++++++
    and an answer
    ++++++
    I finaly found the problem to be the certificate used.
    I noticed that a certificate was added to the machinekeys just recently.
    (in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
    Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys)
    I renamed it to another name and re-installed sql server.
    I noticed that sql server ERRORLOG complained about certificate that it
    couldn't load and the generation of a self-generaed certificate (see below)
    "2005-12-10 21:01:02.30 Server      The server could not load the
    certificate it needs to initiate an SSL connection. It returned the following
    error: 0x8009030d. Check certificates to make sure they are valid.
    2005-12-10 21:01:02.49 Server      A self-generated certificate was
    successfully loaded for encryption."
    Now the installation succeeded
    ++++++
    With Windows 2008 it was really a challange to get access to this folder (!!!)
    After clearing the folder the ReInstall of SQL Server works fine.
    Now the SQL Server & the SQL Server Agent works again.
    The problem was anything with encryption, old certs & files.
    I don't think that everyone can afford reinstalling SQL server.
    I finaly found the problem to be the certificate used.
    I noticed that a certificate was added to the machinekeys just recently.
    (in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
    Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys)
    I think this is what the following blog was saying , a problem with certification

    Internet access was down 2 days and was just restored
    Restarted router
    iPad 2 connected to appropriate wifi network, but got error message "could not connect to server" when using Safari. Also, could not access any other internet related service like web email.
    Other devices --- iPad air, Mac, PC laptop and 2 iPhone 4s ---- were able to connect and access internet successfully.
    Actions Taken:
    Powered off iPad 2 and then restarted it. No luck.
    On iPad 2, turned off wifi setting and then turned it back on. It connected to appropriate network, but still could not connect to server.
    Reset router again --- no luck.
    Question:
    Any suggestions?

    Try the following:
    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

  • Network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server keeps reverting to user set 4

    I didn't used to have this problem as far as I'm aware, but as of recently, I've noticed that if I try to download more than 4 of one thing at a time from the same site, it would fail. For instance, if I have up 5 web pages of streaming content, only 4 will load, the other 5th one will do nothing until I finish one of the others. Upon looking up some information on this, I saw that the network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server is set at "user set = 4", and if I change that number to anything else, it corresponds. If I click to 'reset' the number, it goes to the default of 6 - which is still less than what it used to be. I used to not even have a limit on this as far as I'm aware, or if I did, it was well beyond 10 and that wasn't a product of me manipulating it.
    What I'm asking is this:
    1) How do I make this so it permanently switches to a higher number? Every time I reset it to 6 or I manually change the number to something higher, once I close it, those settings go back to 4.
    2) Why is it reverting and not staying the way I change it?
    3) What's the purpose of this and why is it just recently doing it when I haven't put any new add-ons or made any other refinements to Firefox that I'm aware of?
    Any help would be appreciated

    Two possible causes for it resetting to 4 that I can think of.
    # You have an add-on handing that pref and that is resetting it to 4 when Firefox is restarted.
    # That pref is set via user.js and that causes it to go to that value as Firefox starts.

  • Why can't I connect to server to confirm terms?

    Why can't I connect to server to confirm terms?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

  • Earthlink Servers -- "can't connect to server"

    Recently (the last couple of weeks) Safari have been displaying the message "can't connect to server" when trying to access certain pages.
    Here are the particulars:
    This only happens with Safari, not with any other browser (netscape, firefox, explorer) on my Mac or my PC.
    The problem is intermittent -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Both times when I've called apple tech support (and they tried to reproduce the problem, it was working)
    The problem only exists with Earthlink's homepages ...any page that has the url "home.earthlink.net/~whatever. So this rules out any particular page or site ...the problems (for me) seems confined to Earthlink homepage servers.
    This happens whether logged on via dial-up, or using DSL ethernet (these two are via my isp, earthlink) ...or when using my neighbor's wireless connection via Comcast. So the problem is not unique to the ISP.
    Here's the puzzling part. When the problem does exist, I can access the page by typing www. in from of the home.earthlink.... and the page loads. When the problem does not exits and the www. is placed in front of the url, Safari displays the "can't connect to server" message (???).
    Also, during these intermittent periods when it doesn't work, any other pages I have that call upon graphics with a SRC url of home.earthlink.... the graphics don't display.
    Lastly, my tracking program has shown (1) a significant drop in the pages accessed with Safari, (2) the pages that are accessed with Safari are occasionally accessed with the www.home.earthlink.... url, so this is obviously happening to other safari users.
    For my part, I've done all the usual stuff, checked here for similar reports, reset Safari and trashed all the prefs. No changes.
    Apple tech seems to think this is an Earthlink Server problem. Earthlink tech acknowledges no such problem and feels it's Safari's problem. ...and I'm caught in the middle Hrmpf!!!
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
    "home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals" -- one of the affected sites
    iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB    
    Dell Pent III w/WinXP (SP2) w384 MB

    Let's try it the other way around. Open Network Preferences and open the lock.
    Set up a new location, I call it "verizon" because the DNS nums will be theirs, available to all. Enter as 2 separate lines
    4.2.2.2
    4.2.2.1
    Proxies have been a problem so make sure you have none unless you really need them.
    Apply now. Good luck.
    Do a forum search on "open dns" for 2 more servers to get their nums. I can't see them as that is what I am currently running and don't want to mess with it.

  • Connecting to server after upgrading to Snow Leopard

    I'm trying to connect to a hard drive wirelessly which is connected to a router. I used to have Leopard and connected fine by going Finder > Connect to Server  and inputting:
    smb://FND/Media
    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I haven't been able to connect. I've tried connecting using the same address as above and also with:
    smb://192.168.1.11/Media
    Both open a dialog box asking for user name and password. As no password is setup just hitting enter should work (it did on Leopard). However, this time it brings up an error message saying:
    Connection Error
    There was an error connecting to the server “192.168.1.11”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
    If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator.
    Also when trying to browse for the server it doesn't appear. I'm not sure if it did on Leopard as I never needed to look for it. I can get into the hard drive by typing the IP address into Safari, but just can't connect to it.

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
