Hi there,

Hoping there are some network gurus out there who might have some insight into this. When I start ChatScript in server mode and then connect using the local client (or over the net), the bot works but I get the following error messages in the user file.

2 Tue Aug 27 13:20:37 2019 in sentence: how are you
  TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx closed connection prematurely
2 Tue Aug 27 13:20:42 2019 in sentence: how are you
  TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx closed connection prematurely
2 Tue Aug 27 13:20:47 2019 in sentence: how are you
  TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx closed connection prematurely
2 Tue Aug 27 13:20:52 2019 in sentence: how are you
  TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx closed connection prematurely
2 Tue Aug 27 13:20:57 2019 in sentence: how are you

They will continue forever, every 5 seconds, even after I have closed the local client. Currently this only happens on my server (Windows Server 2012 R2) and not on my desktop. I have TCP 1024 inbound and outbound open on the Server Firewall but I am not a firewall or server expert so I may have configured that incorrectly.

Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Doug

Update:

This behavior occurs as soon as I start ChatScript in server mode or local mode and does not require any inbound connection (or even entering a user name). In the LOGS/bugs.txt and see the following:

Finished 0: heapusedOnEntry: 0 heapUsedNow: 14073800 buffers:0 stackused: 154513816 stackusedNow:171494   -
TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx closed connection prematurely

MinReleaseStackGap 85MB MinHeapAvailable 85MB
MaxBuffers used 2 of 80

Finished 0: heapusedOnEntry: 0 heapUsedNow: 14073800 buffers:0 stackused: 154513816 stackusedNow:171494   -

That repeats over and over.

I also turned off the firewall completely and that had no effect.

Thanks,

Doug

p.s. It has been going on for a while since my original bugs.txt file was 1,458,678 KB

I have solved this by adding “interface=127.0.0.1” to the server batch startup file. Not really sure what that did but it solved my problem!
