I have created a Datasnap service, using Bob Swart's white paper as a guide. I have been debugging and deployed succesfully using the VCL Forms application as a server. But when I try to deploy the service version, it installs ok, I then try to start the service and it immediately stops. The error in the event log would suggest that the port set is already in use, I have tried different port numbers for both the TCPServerTransport and the HTTPService without any joy. The DSServer is not set to Autostart as I want to set the Port number from a configuration file. The error message displayed in the event log is:
Service failed on start: Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use..
I have also tried writing to a log file on start up and execute but it looks as if it is not getting this far.
Solution needed asap, before I have to revert back to a thick client which I do not really want to do.
Thanks
