Question

Intermittent "Error establishing socket to host and port:Connection Refused"...

We have two servers, both with MS-SQL Server 2000 and ColdFusion 9 installed.  One of them is giving me an intermittent "Error establishing socket to host and port: Connection Refused" message...  Seems to happen completely randomly...

I've checked everything -- firewall, SQL port-settings, CF port-settings, SQL-server service-packs, etc., etc...  Googling "Error establishing socket to host and port" gets you quite a bit of information, and I've gone through just about all of it.  Nothing has worked.

Like I said, the problem is intermittent, and seems to happen randomly.  Got no clue as to why it's doing this...

Any ideas?  Anyone ever see this before?

Thanks,

Hi Laurence,

Not sure I understand, I gather 2 servers 1 SQL 1 CF. Perhaps from each server "PING -t" the other, maybe you will have a dropped packet which could indicate why the intermittent fail to connect. Not really a solution just another idea to find a cause.

HTH, Carl.
