LLP Sender "Connection refused" error.

[kbobba]

I have set up a simple channel with source as "File Reader" and destination as "LLP Sender" sending messages on port 6660. I have received the following error.

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

Following XML is my channel configuration. I am assuming that the contents of the file will be treated as the message that needs to be sent over port 6660.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: LLP Sender "Connection refused" error.

"Connection refused" means that the endpoint can't stablish any connection: It seems that there is no receiver 'waiting' for a message

Re: LLP Sender "Connection refused" error.

When I ran the

netstat -an

command, I was able to see port 6661 in "listening" state for TCP protocol messages. I still don't understand what is causing the error.

Re: LLP Sender "Connection refused" error.

Your channel is configured for 6660, not 6661. What program do you have setup listening?

Re: LLP Sender "Connection refused" error.

I have setup another channel in Mirth for listening. That is correct, I had wrong port number. Now, I was able to send the messages from channel one to channel two through LLP.

Thanks.

Excellent, glad it's working!
