Hi, I am trying to run a pvserver which is connected to using a client behind a firewall. The firewall blocks everything except ssh going out. Hence I am trying to use pvserver through an ssh tunnel.
My plan was as follows: On client (inside firewall): 1 - Start paraview 2 - Create ssh tunell for port 11111 % ssh -nNTR 2223:localhost:11111 me@pvserver-hostname Then on pvserver-hostname start the pvserver, however I get the following % ./bin/pvserver --server-port=2223 Waiting for client Connection URL: cs://localhost:2223 ERROR: In /home/rock/kit/PIG/Technical/software/pv_v1.0.0-release/ParaView-3.11.1/VTK/Common/vtkSocket.cxx, line 206 vtkServerSocket (0x1d067ae0): Socket error in call to bind. Address already in use. ERROR: In /home/rock/kit/PIG/Technical/software/pv_v1.0.0-release/ParaView-3.11.1/ParaViewCore/ClientServerCore/vtkTCPNetworkAccessManager.cxx, line 284 vtkTCPNetworkAccessManager (0x1cb4aea0): Failed to set up server socket. This procedure work fines for other services. For example: % ssh -nNTR 2223:localhost:22 me@pvserver-hostname Allows me to ssh back to my machine from pvserver-hostname (using port 2223). What's so special about pvserver? Am I missing something really basic? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Kit
