Lost connection started late yesterday

For some reason my piaware system has lost its connection and log displays the following errors:

Jul 28 14:59:05 piaware piaware[521]: no ADS-B data program seen listening on port 30005 for 10 seconds, next check in 60s

Has anyone seen this connection refused error before?

My config file has:

Network ports to listen on for connections

NET_RAW_INPUT_PORTS=
NET_RAW_OUTPUT_PORTS=30002
NET_SBS_OUTPUT_PORTS=30003
NET_BEAST_INPUT_PORTS=30004,30104
NET_BEAST_OUTPUT_PORTS=30005

It’s been running well for seeveral years so unsure sure of the actual cause as there has not been a non planned update..

Any assistance appreciated.

Reboot the unit, this will usually clear the connection refusal and start building the connection again

Thanks for the suggestion. I did a soft reboot and a hard reboot and in both instances the error returned after just a few minutes. I figured the Buster system other than regular updates hasn’t really been touched in ages, I’d go all in and created the latest bookworm 64bit piaware image and put it in place. Seems a bit like cheating when I didn’t fix the actual problem… Tnx again, Bob

Well at least you are up to date again. If this fixed your problem then it is a good approach as well :+1:t2::wink:
