Server Timing Out.

Question

We have 2003 Windows Server and from time to time, we get the following error:

 

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request.
Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified
using the exception stack trace below.

 

We have a stack trace output (can provide) and the following components:

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3620;
ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3618

The nitty gritty of this is the following:

Server Error in '/' Application.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8889
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace
for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

 

Exception Details: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8889

To me, it looks like port 8889 is not responding. Any ideas how to fix this?

Answer 1

If you receive "Server Error in '/' Application." it is probably an ASP web page.

The issue looks like IIS configuration, or possibly a firewall issue.

This forum is for PHP and SQL Server, so it might be best to ask on a different forum.

Answer 2

Hi Jeff,

Could you please elaborate a bit on your scenario? It seems that your application connects to SQL Server via TCP/IP, if so, you can refer to the following blog post to troubleshoot the issue:

TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
