ERROR: "Server Down"
Last Updated a year ago
REASON
- The client is not able to communicate with the server.
SYMPTOMS
- On the client side, the banner displays black text + white background with the status "Server Down".
- On the server side, the banner is displayed as normal connected with localhost (127.0.0.1), and Server.exe -> Setting green dot indicates the server service is running correctly.
SOLUTIONS
- “Client -> About tab” and make sure the “Server IP” has the same IP address as the “Server -> Setting tab -> IP Address” is the same.
- If it does not match, you can update the server IP and then replace the “client.connection” file with the one generated under the server installation folder.
- Make sure the client and server are located within the same LAN (check VPN as well if applicable).
- Make sure the client -> System Info -> Server IP matched with the server -> Setting tab -> Server IP.
- Make sure the client. The connection file is the someone that is generated by the Server -> Setting tab -> a small save button right next to the Server Port.
- Check the Client & Server computer firewall inbound & outbound rules, and make sure to allow TCP port 56789 (default port)
