[Paraview] Specifying port in pvserver

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Port 80 is probably already taken by another application.  In general, port 80 is a really bad choice because that is the port that world wide web applications typically use.  If I remember correctly, you should generally avoid using any port with a number of 1024 or less, as these are generally reserved for standard Unix daemons.

In short, choose a different port.

Dear paraview users,

I managed to run pvserver with its default port 11111, but when I try running it, this error pops up, could anyone tell me, why do I get this error, should I write an xml also if I were to mention the port address.
thanks.

./pvserver --server-port=80
Listen on port: 80
ERROR: In /home/kalpanak/Installation_Files/ParaView/ParaView3.2.1/Servers/Common/vtkProcessModuleConnectionManager.cxx, line 180
vtkProcessModuleConnectionManager (0xba50e10): Failed to set up server socket.
