Recently we have noticed on first attempt at login to a mobile project we all get (java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error. It logs us out and when we relog back in it initalizes. Why does this happen so many times on first log on attempt that we have to try again before we can see the project? ---

Were you able to find a resolution to your problem? We’re encountering the same thing using Ignition 7.6.4 and Java 7 update 45. We get the “socket write error” about 9 times out of 10 of starting the app. We tried using Java update 25 but it didn’t seem to make any difference. ---

I don’t mean to take over the thread but I’m not sure I should start a new one on this since it seems to be a similar problem. We’re running Ignition 7.6.4 on Windows 8.1, Java 7 Update 45. We get the socket write error exactly ten times and then the mobile app loads on the 11th try every time. I tried setting the Mobile module to use Java 7u25 but it didn’t seem to make a difference. Any suggestions?

This sounds like a problem with the version of Java you’re using, and there is a setting specifically for what version of java the mobile module uses. You can find it in the Ignition Gateway in the Configure section under Mobile -\> Settings. You should make sure that the Java Path is set to something like ‘C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe’ If that’s set to the correct path, then you can try clearing the Java cache on the computer Ignition is installed on. ---

I spoke to tech support on the phone and did a gotomeeting. She kept seeing the error occur on first attempt login and could not find a solution. She gave me instructions on what needed to be logged if it keeps occuring and to submit for the developers to review and see why this is happening. These were her instructions. But I have been out of the office on business so have not had time to start the logging. 1. Configure \> Console \> Levels, search for “VMManager”, set it to “Debug” Get it to error out, export the logs 1. Go to Mobile / settings, in the “JVM Optons”, type “-Dmobile.debug=true” ( not quotation marks). Get it to error out, then go to /data/mobile\_wdir , zip that the mobile\_wdir folder upload both to ticket 15220 ( [inductiveautomation.com/uploads](http://inductiveautomation.com/uploads)) ---

I've seen the following errors when changing to Debug on the VMManager: (Ignition 7.6.6, Windows 8.1, Java 7\_67).

I would be curious if there are multiple installations of Java on the Gateway Server. Best practice and the first troubleshooting step I use is to hard code the path to java.exe in the “Path to Java” property in Mobile Settings. Also, make sure you are using the correct version of Java for the version of Java in use. Ignition 7.7 will require Java 8 (regardless of the fine print in mobile settings), Ignition 7.6 & 7.5 requires Java 7 for mobile. ---

I’ve got the same problem on mobile devices. I’ve tried everything I could find in the forum(plus stackexchange, etc.) and the results are the same. Ignition 7.7 with Java 8 hard coded path - it’s the only version installed. Console listing is identical (or nearly so) to those shown here. Running Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 on a VM, but also have the problem when running on a Windows 7x64 development machine. ---

We have Java 7 installed on the gateway for the mobile module in addition to Java 8. We then have the path to the Java 7 executable hard-coded into the module configuration page on the Ignition gateway. Looking at the mobile module in the Module Marketplace, it appears that it still needs Java 7.
