Please tell us what distro you have, what lang you are using & show us the code and the exact error msg.

It's not possible to do lseek() or fseek() call on sockets. Remove the lseek() or fseek() calls from your program.

If there's a rewind(), get rid of it as well. Any file cursor positioning command will generate that error.

You still haven't pasted your code.
