[baltimorepm] help with Net::HL7::Connection

[Bernie Simon]

The standard command to check for open ports is

netstat -en

More information can be found on the web. Don’t know how this stuff in configured under Windows.

Subject: [baltimorepm] help with Net::HL7::Connection

At work we had a Windows XP computer setup to collect lab results from Quest. That data was parsed and transferred to our mysql database (on a CentOS server) using Net::HL7::Connection. Recently we had to upgrade to Windows 7 for the capturing computer. So I'm using Windows 7 to collect blood work data from Quest.

The scripts that were on the XP machine seem to work pretty well on the 7 box too, so I am able to get the data parsed and ready for transport to my mysql database server, but it doesn't send.

I am getting a "Could not connect. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" error.

Net::HL7::Connection takes a host and port but no password or anything. I figure I'm supposed to open a port on the db server to allow this incoming connection, but I'm having trouble figuring that part out. I don't know where to look on the centos server to see if a port is open for the other xp computer, what file to edit... etc.

Any suggestions?



Thanks,
Dawn
