Perforce Client Error Connect To Server Failed Check $p4port
Contents |
Users work on files in client workspace directories on their own machines; these files are transferred to and from a shared file repository located on a set p4port Perforce server. Every Perforce system uses one server and can have many perforce wsaetimedout client workstations. The following programs do the bulk of Perforce's work: The Perforce Server (p4d) runs on the Perforce connect to server failed check $p4port wsaeconnrefused server machine, manages the shared file repository, and keeps track of users, workspaces, and other Perforce metadata. Perforce client programs (such as p4) run on Perforce client machines, sending user requests to p4port environment variable the Perforce Server (p4d) for processing. Perforce client programs use TCP/IP to communicate with the Perforce Server. To use Perforce, you must supply your client program with the address and port of the Perforce server to which you want to connect. See "Setting up your environment to use Perforce" on page21 for details. Before you begin This chapter assumes that your system

administrator has already installed and configured a Perforce server (p4d) for you, and that the server is up and running. If this is not the case (for instance, if you're installing Perforce for the first time), you must install the Perforce server before continuing. For an overview of how to set up a server, see "Installing Perforce" on page143. The installation information in this manual is intended to help you install a server for evaluation purposes. If you're installing a production server, or are planning on extensive testing of your evaluation server, read the full installation instructions in the System Administrator's Guide. Setting up your environment to use Perforce In order to connect to a Perforce server, you must supply your Perforce client program with two pieces of information: the name of the host on which p4d is running, and the port on which p4d is listening To connect to a Perforce server, specify the host and port number by setting the P4PORT environment variable to host:port, where host is the name of the host on which the p4d server is running, and port is t

I am your typical newbie. You've been warned. I have inherited the role of Perforce https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.051/manuals/p4guide/02_connect.html admin for my team. Our server was installed by my predecessor on a RedHat server. I am trying to connect to it using the P4V client from my MS Windows workstation so I can create a depot. To get the client info, I logged in to my P4 server `blahblah33` and typed `p4 info`. blahblah33:/home/perforce => p4 info User name: perforce Client http://forums.perforce.com/index.php?/topic/3622-unable-to-connect-to-p4-server-from-p4v/ name: perforce Client host: blahblah33 Client root: /opt/perforce/WORKSPACE/perforce Current directory: /home/perforce Peer address: 147.22.111.80:14419 Client address: 147.22.111.80 Server address: blahblah:16666 Server root: /opt/perforce/P4ROOT Server date: 2014/10/07 10:31:43 -0600 MDT Server uptime: 15:46:13 Server version: P4D/LINUX26X86_64/2013.2/740201 (2013/11/11) Server license: MYEMPLOYER 36 users (support ends 2014/10/16) Server license-ip: 147.22.111.80:16666 Case Handling: sensitive When I enter ` blahblah33:16666` for my server in P4 client, it fails with the error message "Connect to server failed. Check $P4Port" (see attached screenshot). I have checked my hosts file and the ip address to `blahblah33` is correctly listed. I tried using the ip addresss instead of the host name, same error. What I noticed is that the documentation reads that the default port is `1666`, not `16666`. Does it matter? I am not even sure my Perforce server is running. Is there a P4 command I can run to check? Thanks in advance for your help.

an enterprise version management system in which you connect to a shared versioning service; users sync files from the shared https://www.perforce.com/perforce/r15.1/manuals/p4guide/chapter.configuration.html repository, called the depot, and edit them on your workstation in your client workspace. This chapter assumes that your system administrator has configured your organization's Perforce service. https://www.assembla.com/spaces/AssemblaSupport/support/tickets/9207-p4-connection-fails-often For details about setting up the versioning service, refer to the Perforce Server Administrator's Guide: Fundamentals. To set up your workspace so you can work with Perforce, perform connect to the following steps: Configure settings for the protocol, host, and port (so you can connect to the Perforce service). See Configuring Perforce settings. Define your workspace (at a minimum, assign a name and specify a workspace root where you want local copies of depot files stored). See Defining client workspaces. Verify the connection. See Verifying connect to server connections. After you configure your workspace, you can populate it by syncing files that are stored in the depot. For details, see Syncing (retrieving) files and the description of the p4 sync command in the P4 Command Reference. Before you start to configure Perforce, ask your Perforce administrator for the proper host and port setting. Also ask whether a workspace has already been configured for your workstation. What is a client workspace? A Perforce client workspace is a set of directories on your workstation where you work on file revisions that are managed by Perforce. Each workspace is given a name that identifies the client workspace to the Perforce service. If no workspace name is specified (by setting the P4CLIENT environment variable) the default workspace name is the name of your workstation. To specify the effective workspace name, set the P4CLIENT environment variable. You can have multiple workspaces on your machine. All files within a Perforce client workspace share a root directory, called
Support,I've configured Perforce environment for my project recently.Today I couldn't connect to Perforce. The following error appeared:Perforce client error:Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.TCP connect to perforce.assembla.com:1666 failed.connect: 64.250.188.46:1666: WSAETIMEDOUTHowever after a while I could connect.
