<div><font face="verdana">Dear Joe,</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana"></font> </div>
<div><font face="verdana">The application is a huge one and could not be sent through mail.</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana">So, I have pasted the part of the code where I face error...</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana"> </font></div>
<div><font face="verdana">server_connection(ListeningSocket)-><br> ConnectionResult=gen_tcp:accept(ListeningSocket),<br> case ConnectionResult of<br> {ok,AcceptedSocket}-><br> spawn(identify_client,receive_request,[ConnectionResult]),
<br> server_connection(ListeningSocket);<br> {error,Reason}-><br> io:fwrite("Reason for error in accepting socket is ~p\n",[Reason]);<br> ListenResult=gen_tcp:listen(get(port),[list,{backlog,210},{packet, 0},{active, false}]),
<br> case ListenResult of<br> {ok,ListenSocket1}-><br> server_connection(ListenSocket1);<br> {error,Reason1}-> <br> io:fwrite("Reason for error in second listen is ~p\n",[Reason1]);
<br> _-><br> io:fwrite("Some other error in listening in <font face="Verdana">server_connection</font>1\n")<br> end<br> _-><br> io:fwrite("Some other error in listening in
<font face="Verdana">server_connection2</font>\n") <br> end.<br></font></div>
<div><font face="verdana">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
<font face="Verdana">gen_tcp:listen/2, again an error is occurred. Please let me know if you find any clue regarding this problem.</font></font></div>
