Running Echo Service

description

Hi,

When I follow the steps in the documentation (for Echo Service), or when I compile the project in 'QuickStart' folder in the download, I get the error message 'Unhandled Exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for socketServer: Request failed.

---> System.Security.SecurityException: Request failed.

This is in Visual Studio 2010.

Attached screenshot of error.

Another man reported the same issue to me, it might be caused by some security issues of your OS.
Are you using Win 7 or Win Vista?

Hey Kerry,

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using Windows 7. I tried to run as administrator but that didn't work either.

I also googled the error, and there's quite a few posts suggesting it may be to do with the .NET framework version that the app is built for. I double checked that I was using .NET 4.0 in every project.

Your windows 7 show the app.config "blocked"?
Unblocking it should can fix this issue. Another user of SuperSocket fixed the same issue by this way!

Hi,

The app.config is not blocked (I'm not sure which one you mean either - but none of them are blocked).

I have just tested this on Windows Server 2003 and got exactly the same issue.

Perhaps I am missing some important step in the process? Here is how to reproduce the issue:

1 - Download the 1.4 beta zip
2 - Extract anywhere
3 - Open the QuickStart/QuickStart Solution
4 - Build solution
5 - Run QuickStart/EchoService/Bin/Debug/RunServer.Bat
6 - Press enter to start server
7 - Error

Could you try copy the downloaded zip file to other location and then unzip it?

Hi,

I tried copying all the files to another location, no change.

Is there any way you could email me a sample project which I can simply load into Visual Studio and run, and it runs the echo service in a command line?

Many thanks

It is sure an environment issue, and could you try on another computer?
Or check the anti-virus software running on your OS.

It must not be a code problem.

I have tried it on two separate Windows 7 computers and a dedicated Windows Server 2003 machine, all produce the same error.

Perhaps the problem is that I'm using the free version of Visual Studio (Web Developer Express, Visual C Express)??

What operating system / Visual Studio version do you run it on?

I am using Windows XP/Windows Server 2008 R2 and VS2010.
Please verify your generated SuperSocket.SocketService.exe.config is correct.
You'd better try with VS2010.

If you want to try free tools, Mono 2.10 and MonoDeveloper also is ok.

I just found & fixed the same error using your suggestion. Windows 7 64 bit. Compile QuickStart\EchoService. On first run: System.Security.SecurityException. Right click on QuickStart\EchoService\bin\Debug\SuperSocket.SocketService.exe.config select "Properties". Click "Unblock". Run RunServer.bat again.

Thanks for your tip!

You are welcome. Thank you for the great application framework & all these examples!
