gnuserve switches to the old Emacs window but does not open the file

gnuserve switches to the old Emacs window but does not open the file

[Bernhard Koenig]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1139 bytes --]

I'm using a Windows machine with Emacs 22.0.50.1.
I also installed the gnuserve package and it seems to be correctly installed,
my .emacs contains

(require 'gnuserv)
(setq gnuserv-frame (car (frame-list)))
(gnuserv-start)

(defadvice server-find-file (around ignore-percent-one (file) activate)
  (if (or (not (string= "%1" (file-name-nondirectory file)))
          (file-exists-p file))
    ad-do-it))


At times, when I use the command "gnuclientw -F filename.txt" this will only
switch to the old emacs window but NOT open the file "filename.txt". Once
this happened, I cannot pass any more files to this old window but have to
close it. Closing then produces a beep on my machine, while usually emacs does not
beep when exiting. In the message box, the line "Server subprocess exited"
appears sometimes, which seems to be related to this problem.

The problem shows up sometimes but not all the times, I couldn't quite
figure out when it does and when not. E.g. if I click two files with gnuclientw
in a very short interval, then it usually works. The longer the interval, the more
likely the problem occurs.

There are several gnuserve packages. Please use the latest from EmacsW32 
(http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html) or Guy Gascoigne-Piggford 
website.

There is a name clash between the package server.el and gnuserv.el in 
the old packages.

  There is a name clash between the package server.el and gnuserv.el in 
  the old packages.
I downloaded the whole package Emacs-22-CvsP060314-EmacsW32-1.00.exe from your link above.
But the problem seems to be the same. The problem happens if I open a file with gnuclientw,
then e.g. browse through directories for a while, then open another file with gnuclientw and
the old emacs windows pops up but does not load the second file.
The new thing with this version is that after closing the emacs window, I get the message:

unable to read the reply from the server
WSAGetLastError=10054

It doesn't seem to be a firewall problem though since I also tried it with the firewall switched off.

Strange, I have never seen this. But did you remove everything about 
gnuserv from your startup files (.emacs etc)? If you use the EmacsW32 
setup then this starts Emacs and gnuserv automatically for you when you 
click a file for example. If you have not removed everything about 
gnuserv, could you please try that?

(I guess you downloaded Emacs-22 CvsP060608-EmacsW32-1.03.exe?)

You're right, I downloaded Emacs-22 CvsP060608-EmacsW32-1.03.exe but note that
on http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html the link reads Emacs-22-CvsP060314-EmacsW32-1.00.exe.

Previously, I still had gnuserv in my .emacs file. Now I removed gnuserve from .emacs and if
I type "gnuclientw filename.txt" then emacs opens but does not load any file (now even if it's the
first file to open).
Starting emacs (in whichever way) now almost immediately leads to the following message:

"Started Emacs and tried to connect during 60 seconds. Connection still fails. Are you sure gnuserve.exe
is started by Emacs? WSAGetLastError=10061."

Maybe there is a problem with my setup, but I simply used the install wizard until finish (and I'm really
working with the new version now). Is there anything I might have forgotten in the setup?

I just realized that I should use "gnuclientw -sqf" instead of "gnuclientw -F" (which I used). So forget about
the 10061-error. Now if I use "gnuclientw -sqf filename.txt" then we are back at the old problem.
emacs opens one window but upon further use of "gnuclientw -sqf filename.txt", the windows pops up
but does not load the file. Error again "Unable to reply from the server = 10054".

Hm. I will try to do something about that ... - I just don't want to 
change all the dates every time I upload a new version.

Could you please try the tests below?

Try the command file emacs.cmd that is written at the installation to 
the EmacsW32 subdirectory. To open a file you can do

    emacs.cmd filename.txt

Try also the Send To shortcut in Windows Explorer. There should be an 
Emacs entry now.

Try the above two tests first with Emacs not started and then with Emacs 
already started. Start Emacs from the Quick Launch icon then.

This means there was a timeout when gnuclient waited for gnuserv. The 
most likely reason is that it took long time to start Emacs. Do you have 
a gnuserv process in Emacs? Inside Emacs do

    M-x list-processes

The output should look something like (possibly scrambled a bit by mail):

    Proc                                Status   
Buffer                              Command

    server                              run      
(none)                              c:/Program

The setup should be fine then if you do not have something else in your 
setup that clashes with gnuserv. You could of course try renaming .emacs 
temporarily and restart Emacs to test that.

Looking at the error codes (see for example 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/windows_sockets_error_codes_2.asp) 
it looks like 10054 is "Connection reset by peer" and 10061 is 
"Connection refused". (I got confused, thought it was 10060 which is 
"Connection timed out".)

Could it be something with a firewall? I guess you use a software 
firewall too?
