Apache JServ problems on Win95

Subject: Running JServ on Windows 95 (wsock32 problems)
Date: Tue, Jul 13, 1999, 4:46 AM

I've been having difficulties running JServ on some Windows 95 platforms
and I've tracked down the problem to the verson of wsock32.dll on the
box.  If they are using wsock32 version 4.10.x then the JServ module
will not run (I get an "Exception creating the server socket:
java.net.SocketException: create (code=10106)" error message in the
error.log file).  If I revert to version 4.0.x of wsock32.dll, then
JServ runs fine.  Has anyone else seen this problem?  If so, is there a
better solution than reverting to a previous version of wsock32.dll?

Thanks,

Darren Swansburg

I've had exactly the same problem using the Jserv on my copy of Win95. In my case I simply removed the Winsock2 upgrade and everthing seemed to be fine.

Removal of winsock 2 : If you opted to keep a back of the old winsock when installing the upgrade, there should be a directory called 'ws2backup' within the windows directory. Run the 'ws2backup.bat' file in safe mode and you should correctly restore the old winsock files.


I had this problem after it had been working fine the day before. I had not rebooted the machine in the meantime or anything (Win95+Apache1.3.6+JDK1.2+JServ1.0). I just didn't have the stomach to do a reinstall yet, so I first made sure the equivalent 8.3 names were used for all directories/files in the httpd.conf, mod_jserv.conf, jserv.properties, and zone.properties files. This seemed to work.
I managed to solve this problem (which totally prevents JServ from working on win95) by re-installing both Apache, and ApacheJserv is directories which didnt have spaces in the full paths. The standard is "Program Files". Moving both to "ApacheGroup" appears to have worked quite well.
If you still cannot get Win95 to work...even after trying everything in this FAQ, the only last suggestion is to try upgrading to a more modern OS...I mean come on, you are using Win95 to run a servlet engine! It is how many years old now? M$ came out with Win98...at least upgrade to that!

If for some reason, your PC cannot run Win98, then install Linux instead!
