[erlang-questions] TCP/IP socket communication problem

[Surindar Sivanesan]

Dear Joe,

The application is a huge one and could not be sent through mail.
So, I have pasted the part of the code where I face error...

server_connection(ListeningSocket)->
 ConnectionResult=gen_tcp:accept(ListeningSocket),
 case ConnectionResult of
    {ok,AcceptedSocket}->
     spawn(identify_client,receive_request,[ConnectionResult]),
     server_connection(ListeningSocket);
    {error,Reason}->
      io:fwrite("Reason for error in accepting socket is ~p\n",[Reason]);
       ListenResult=gen_tcp:listen(get(port),[list,{backlog,210},{packet,
0},{active, false}]),
       case ListenResult of
        {ok,ListenSocket1}->
          server_connection(ListenSocket1);
         {error,Reason1}->
          io:fwrite("Reason for error in second listen is ~p\n",[Reason1]);
         _->
          io:fwrite("Some other error in listening in server_connection1\n")
        end
   _->
    io:fwrite("Some other error in listening in server_connection2\n")
  end.
This server_connection function continues to listen in the 'ListeningSocket'
provided by a parent module. If any client is connecting, this function will
spawn a process with that socket to receive the messages from the client.
Like wise, 50 clients have established communication and the messages are
transmitted to and fro. At some point of time, the gen_tcp:accept/1 function
returns {error,enfile} and all the 50 client server communication are
closed. When the server_connection function tends to listen socket again
using gen_tcp:listen/2, again an error is occurred. Please let me know if
you find any clue regarding this problem.

Regards,
S.Surindar.
