Hello everyone! I have been having a problem with trying to connect my dbpro program to a server on a different operating system (linux, ubuntu 12.04) by using sockets (with matrixutil plugin). The thing is I really don't truly know how to make the dbpro part that much... I did play around with the commands a lot but was not successful in passing data to the server. I would thank anyone who could help me with this! Also the server works just fine, I tried it with other C++ client programs.
server.cpp code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
void error(const char *msg)
{
perror(msg);
exit(1);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int sockfd, newsockfd, portno;
socklen_t clilen;
char buffer[256];
struct sockaddr_in serv_addr, cli_addr;
int n;
if (argc < 2) {
fprintf(stderr,"ERROR, no port provided\n");
exit(1);
}
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (sockfd < 0)
error("ERROR opening socket");
bzero((char *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr));
portno = atoi(argv[1]);
serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
serv_addr.sin_port = htons(portno);
if (bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &serv_addr,
sizeof(serv_addr)) < 0)
error("ERROR on binding");
listen(sockfd,5);
clilen = sizeof(cli_addr);
newsockfd = accept(sockfd,
(struct sockaddr *) &cli_addr,
&clilen);
if (newsockfd < 0)
error("ERROR on accept");
bzero(buffer,256);
n = read(newsockfd,buffer,255);
if (n < 0) error("ERROR reading from socket");
printf("Here is the message: %s\n",buffer);
n = write(newsockfd,"I got your message",18);
if (n < 0) error("ERROR writing to socket");
close(newsockfd);
close(sockfd);
return 0;
}
dbpro code:
a = new tcp socket()
bind socket(a,4445)
rem I had problems with connecting the socket to the server with rem the ip.
connect socket(a, hostname to ip("zilla-laptop"),4445)
send socket byte(a,222)
the dbpro code is not my actual code, but a mock up of it.
