Yesterday when someone tried to access the WAA application, all they got was 
a white screen and the blue progress bar near the taskbar running
indefinetely.  She called me.

I tried to shut down the WAA by closing the window, but it would not close. 
Pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del and found out about 6 instances of WAA1GATE.EXE
running.  Does not seen normal.  I closed down all instances from the 
Windows Task Manager (Win 2003 Server) and WAA1SRV.EXE after.  Restarted
WAA1SRV and back in business.

Any clue what can cause this and how to avoid it?

By the way,  I still get socket errors out of nowhere.  I have a program 
that scan for them in the WAA log file, and if found, shuts down WAA1SRV and
restarts it.  I seriously doubt I ever have over 3 people accessing the 
procedure at one time.  Does get to be a pain in the ass.

WAA1SRV.CFG:

#

# this is the package configuration file

# enter name and location package-DLLs

# file name must not include the extension

#

addpkg = ..\source\samples\waa\alaska1\alaska1

addpkg = ..\source\samples\waa\tc\tc

addpkg = ..\source\samples\waa\clock\clock



This is WAA1GATE.CFG  (VERSION 1.3)

hostname = 192.168.2.99

port = 1024

docroot = ..\..\source\samples\waa

smtphost = imail.cingular-ats.com

Hi Richard,
Try to switch waa port over to for example 1020.
Mine 1024 was used by another process.

I switched to 1020 and restarted WAA.  You know, I think you are right. 
1024 is such a popular number....

Will let you know.  Thank you for your prompt reply.

It is not advice to use those smaller 1024 port number
Because 1-1024 port are used by well known programs
