socket_create(): Unable to create socket [10047]: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used

[suyovj]

Hey,

I am trying to replicate the example given in Readme.

But I am stuck up with this error.

Type: ErrorException
Message: socket_create(): Unable to create socket [10047]: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used

I haven't changed anything in the library.

Using PHP 8.0.1
OS: Windows 10

Help is appreciated.

Hello,

I do not use any windows machines so I can not test this but it seems to be a problem with your hosts configuration. Please see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2370388/socketexception-address-incompatible-with-requested-protocol

Just found out that SOCK_DGRAM is not supported in Windows. The code has to be modified to enable support for windows.

Could you share your changes? Maybe I can include them in the next version.

This is my problem and I could not fix any action I had to do and I had to use the old versions

Can you please try to change
$this->icpSocket = socket_create(AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
to
$this->icpSocket = socket_create(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

and check if that works on a windows machine?

No

Hello,

By changing a couple of lines I solved it.
in Server.php

private string $host;
private int $port;

then,

$this->host = $host;
    $this->port = $port;

then,

if (substr(php_uname(), 0, 7) == "Windows"){
        $this->icpSocket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
        $ipcSocketPath = $this->host;
    } else {
        if (file_exists($ipcSocketPath)) {
            unlink($ipcSocketPath);
        }
        $this->icpSocket = socket_create(AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
    }

then,

if (substr(php_uname(), 0, 7) == "Windows") {
        $from = '';
        $port = 0;
        $bytesReceived = socket_recvfrom($this->icpSocket, $buffer, 65536, 0, $from, $port);
    } else {
        $bytesReceived = socket_recvfrom($this->icpSocket, $buffer, 65536, 0, $this->ipcSocketPath);
    }

in Application.php, removed final at line 19

Thanks a lot.

Hello! @MasumNishat solution works. Could you add it in the new version?

@MasumNishat If you create a pull-request I'm happy to merge these changes into a new release.
