ERROR writing to socket: Bad address
 

Hello All

I m new to linux and i m using socket programming to access data from one server to another server.

both Client and server i have written in C i m sending some data to server. after some time i m getting below error.


ERROR writing to socket: Bad address

earlier my client use maximum 2MB memory and when i get this error on server my client usage may go up to 1GB i dont know wats wrong.


Please help me

Would you please paste some part of client code (socket related functions only) so that we can check it.

Dear Piyush,

Thanks for your reply

Server Program.


void handlesocket(int newsockfd)
{
char *buffer, *temp, *temp2;
int n,i;

if (newsockfd < 0)
error("ERROR on accept");

buffer = new char[960000];
temp = new char[16];
temp[0] = '\0';
temp2 = new char[1];
temp2[0] = '\0';
i = 0;
do
{
n = read(newsockfd,temp2, 1);
if(temp2[0]=='@') break;
temp[i++] = temp2[0];
temp[i] = '\0';
}
while(n > 0);

printf("Waiting for client -----> %s bytes\n",temp);
n = 0;
do
{
buffer[0] = '\0';
//printf("hello");
n += read(newsockfd,buffer,atoi(temp));
buffer[n] = '\0';
writeintofile(buffer);
printf("-----------------\n%s-------------\n",buffer);
}
while(n < atoi(temp));

printf("Recieved ------------>%d bytes\n", n);

n = write(newsockfd,&temp,strlen(temp)-1);
printf("Sent back ------------>%s \n", temp);



if (n < 0) error("ERROR writing to socket");
close(newsockfd);
free(buffer);
free(temp);
free(temp2);
}

client program

}

retval = send(conn_socket, data, strlen(data) , 0);

/*if (retval != SOCKET_ERROR)
{

temp[0] = '\0';
retval = recv(conn_socket, temp, 255, 0);
temp[retval+1] = '\0';
printf("Server Received:%s\n",temp);

}*/


free(temp);
free(temp1);
closesocket(conn_socket);
WSACleanup();
}

n += read(newsockfd,buffer,atoi(temp));
In this statement for what purpose you have written atoi(temp) in third parameter. I think That should be the number of bytes u r attempting to read from file descripter newsockfd.
