Forum ‹ ActionScript 3.0 ‹ Connecting to development server

[Chris018]

In my game i have been trying to connect to my dev server and it wont. I know it connects to the backend web service because i can get the guest id from it. But as for the connecting to dev server it just wont create games. So to test i commented out the dev server connection to connect to Player IO server and it connected fine and entered room. Any suggestions? Is there any update i might of missed? Im running Dev Server 2.1.1.0. And i have the AS3 Scripts downloaded as well.

What operative system are you using?

It's possible you are using the wrong dll file in the dev server. When running the dev server click on the "something.dll" at the top and then browse to and select the dll you want to use.

I'm using windows, And i'm loading the right one because i changed the assemblyName and it updated when i run the game.

I turned off dev server and run client. It pops up saying something like

Code: Select all

Error: Unable to connect to development server on localhost:8184. Is the development server running?
   at bridge::Connection/throwError()
   at Function/<anonymous>()


But with it running i dont get that error but it does not create the room. And ive gotten it connecting before. That was like a week ago. And i have not touched code sense since i have been busy.

Sorry for double post, I decided to download the dev pack again. From there i re wrote my code into a new C# project. And it still did not work. Idk i was working a week ago. Any suggestions?

Just for kicks, would you try changing "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" in actionscript?

It still not working sadly . Idk what is wrong. I thought maybe there is an error in c# and like a warning or something that might alter but there is none sadly.
Only Dev OutPut:

Code: Select all

Server Started
========================
(waiting for connection)

Trying last loaded dll

Using Game Dll: Server.dll
========================
(dll: C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\Game\Serverside Code\Player.IO Test Server Project\bin\Debug\Server.dll)

What about this, try telnetting to the server in a console:

Code: Select all

telnet localhost 8184

And see what it says. If you're on windows vista/7 you'll have to add Telnet as a windows component in add/remove programs.

When i open console, and enter telnet localhost 8184, it says nothing. i waited a little and still said nothing so then i pressed enter then i get.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
                       <cross-domain-policy>
                                                <allow-access-from domain="*" to
-ports="*"/>
            </cross-domain-policy>

Connection to host lost.

I am also having the same problem. I can connect to the server and create rooms when I upload the dll files but not when I run it on localhost

A couple years later and I seem to be running into the same issue.

I was able to connect to my local dev server until about 10pm CST tonight.

Any clues? I've seen multiple forum posts about this, all unresolved.
