Could not open connection to the host, on port 50060

[Viney Kumar]

Hi All,

I am facing one problem in HP-UX. I have edit /etc/services files with following entry
GMD_RRS1 50060/tcp

and refresh inetd services.

Now im trying to telnet and getting following error:-
C:\Documents and Settings\vineykumar3>telnet 10.0.4.10 50060
Connecting To 10.0.4.10...Could not open connection to the host, on port 50060
: Connect failed

kindly suggest

Check the same command from the HP-UX box itsef.If it is getting connected, it would be ok from server end.Might be a firewall block in your network.

Thanks

Already checked

Trying...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

same error

What application is listening to that port? Is inetd.conf configured?

[Viney Kumar]

Hi

Application is midation

and as per application no need to configured inetd.conf files

A port is "open" or better listening if something is running and listening to that port, either inetd or another application.

You should use "lsof" and check.

"/etc/services" is not magical. Assuming
that I can guess what "refresh inetd
services" means, these actions don't run any
new software which might be listening on port
50060 (or anywhere else).

What, exactly, are you trying to do?

Or "netstat -a".

Seems to be a firewall issue. Try to run

# telnet 10.0.4.10

to see whether port 23 is open.

No matter what, talk to your network guys about it.

Or a no-program problem.

What's that? Where's that?

I can't see what you're reading, but if you
don't use inetd.conf, then I'd guess that you
need to run some program ("midation"?) in
some other way. Even the best operating
systems can't read your mind, so they may not
run your application unless you tell them to
do it. inetd.conf is one way, and there are
others, but you need to do something, and,
from what you've told us (which is not much),
you haven't done it.
