Socket Error 10061

Studio server → Professional Edition with license → PostgreSQL
Remote studio Advanced Home Edition (license)

When I try to connect to the studio from home I get a socket error #10061.

server

remote. x.x.x.x.x for privacy reasons

On the server side I have added firewall rules for both ports 8840 and 9840.
The modem/router has port forwarding.

I am able to ping the server IP address from the remote location.
But still no access.
Perhaps there is something I’m missing here?
Do I need to create SSL certiticates? Even if I connect on 8840?

Also in the Windows firewall of the server?

No, only for the SSL-Port (9840)

Yes, also in the Microsoft Firewall. I even disabled the firewall all together to see what is going on here.

Silly question: But the DBServer really runs in the background on the server, doesn’t it? Is there anything conspicuous in the log?

dennus · June 1, 2024, 2:05pm

Oeeehhhhh not sure.
Database setup is PostgreSQL. I kinda figured that when I can access the database to edit my music database the server is running. I guess it’s not.
How do I start the DBserver?

Windows-Search: mAirList
and then it should show up.

dennus · June 1, 2024, 2:09pm

YES!!! that’s it. So I guess it’s not a silly question after all
Thank you so much!

Is there an option to rename the database on my end? remote.
I now have two databases both named database.
My own and the remote.

Yes, here you go:

Control Panel → Databases → Select database → Configure/double-click → Advanced → User-defined name

dennus · June 1, 2024, 2:16pm

Yes, that helps.
A new problem arises.
I can access the database from my remote location. /
But on the server side it now says DATABASE NOT CONNECTED.

Liam · June 1, 2024, 2:17pm

Can you restart the mAirList instance on your server? Then it should work again in most cases.

dennus · June 1, 2024, 2:21pm

Yes, problem fixed.
So now I will re-enable the windows firewall, see how that goes.
Do I need to enable both UDP and TCP? or just TCP?

Liam · June 1, 2024, 2:22pm

TCP should be completely sufficient here. This is what it looks like for me (Windows Firewall):

And the rest can stay that way. Of course, click on “Allow connection” and “Activate” at the very front.

dennus · June 1, 2024, 2:27pm

Thank you very much! I have been going over this for hours.
And this fixed it. Now I can work from here.
