Socket timeout while listening for reply from server:null
On this page
Symptoms
The client occasionally pops up the following error message
Unknown macro: noformat. Click on this message for details.
Cause
This error means that the client sent a request to the server and the server failed to respond to the request in a timely manner. There are several things that can cause this issue:
- The client server connection is on a network connection with more that average latency.
- The client server connection is experiencing socket packet loss.
- The server is processing to much information at the time of the request to respond in a timely manner.
- The server experienced an error while processing the client request and did not send a response.
Workaround
If the issue is caused by unavoidable latency in the network connection or the server is processing a large amount of data you can increase the socket timeout parameters in the client connection as described in the Advanced Settings.
Resolution
If the issue is due to packet loss on the network connection you will have to resolve the packet loss issues.
