Anybody setup a perforce server and client before?

Development Programming & Scripting

I am currently attempting to have Perforce setup as my source control for UE4, but currently I am running into a few issues. Firstly, I cannot seem to get the Command-line program working for either the Server(P4D), and the client (P4V). Without that working, I can’t know what I am doing wrong exactly. Secondly, I am using the proxy server for remote access. As a result, whenever I try to enter my server ip address:port in said format for my client to use, I get the following error message:

Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.

TCP connect to 192.168..:** failed.

connect: 192.168..:**: WSAECONNREFUSED

How am I going about this wrong?

P.S. My local instance test of server and client worked perfectly fine.

Hi,

I don’t usually use the command-line tools as they are pretty terse and only really useful if you want to set up things like SSL or other advanced functionality. Instead I use the visual tools like P4Admin, P4V etc. and run the server as a service (P4S).

I have a few questions that might help narrow down your problem:

  • Is the Perforce service running?
  • Can you access your server via P4Admin?
  • When you initially installed your server, did you configure it for remote access or are you now trying to remotely access a server that was initially set up locally?
