Question

I’ve just been given the task of getting a previously working version of an .NET application on an IIS server working in a new environment. Two problems, I’m new to .NET and I don’t have access to the working .NET application on the other server.

The previous guy managed to port it across but came across an error which he couldn’t resolve in the time given. The error is listed below:

    An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host 
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Source Error: 

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be gratefully received.

Answer 1

The only thing I can conclude with the provided information is that something goes wrong connecting to the database, on this line:

MMOCore.BusinessObjects.IUserBiz.DatabaseAvailable() +0

Is your connection string correct?
