Fileshare server cannot be started. The error message is “A CCINAMPU listen call failed, please re-try with fewer active connections.”

Problem:

The Fileshare Server cannot be started. The following error message appears:

FS148-I CCI return-code (function 07) = 00000009CCINAMPU-0030E A CCINAMPU listen call failed, please re-try with fewer active connections.

This error occurs only when using the “named pipes” communication protocol, that is, ccinampu. The error does not occur when using the ccitcp communication protocol.

Resolution:

For named pipes protocol (-cm ccinampu), Fileshare will create a FIFO in /usr/spool/uucppublic/.CCI named .servername (where .servername is the name specified when starting Fileshare). It is necessary for the directory /usr/spool/uucppublic to exist. If this directory does not exist, the error will occur.

Some UNIX or Linux machines do not include a directory named /usr/spool/uucppublic. If this directory does not exist, the solution is to manually create this directory, and give it write permissions for the user that will start the Fileshare server. Then the error will no longer occur
