Thread: Server won't accept connections

Hello everybody,

I have a issue in my code. The application, I want to create should interact with the browser, therefore get and send request.
The issue is, that the Server wont accapt the connection and I can't get data from the socket. Can someone help me, please?

The relevant part of the code:

Code:

main(){

struct sockaddr_in sockserv,sockclient;
int socketfd,clientfd;
socklen_t clientsocklen;
char buff[BUFFERSIZE],buff2[BUFFERSIZE];
int lenbuff;



if((socketfd = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0))==-1){
        printf("Socket creation failed!\n");
    }
printf("Socket Creation: %s\n",strerror(errno));

bzero(&sockserv,sizeof(sockserv));

sockserv.sin_family = AF_INET;
sockserv.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
sockserv.sin_port = htons(8080);

if(bind(socketfd,(struct sockaddr *)&sockserv,sizeof(sockserv))<0)
    {
    printf("Error binding the socket\n");
    }
printf("Socket Bind: %s\n",strerror(errno));

if(listen(socketfd,1) == -1){
printf("Listening to Socket failed \n");
}
printf("Socket Listen: %s\n",strerror(errno));

clientfd = accept(socketfd,(struct sockaddr*) &sockclient,&clientsocklen);
if(clientfd  < 0){
    printf("Accepting Socket failed!\n");
}


...


}

Best regards,
Phil

Code:

clientsocklen = sizeof(sockclient);

before calling accept

Big thanks, that was right. I've spend several hours to find the problem. Now it's solved
