Failed port-forward for my diy application in Openshift

Question

I have a java application with a server socket, but i don't know how to connect with another java web application in openshift. Looking in forums i saw i had to do port-forward to see wich ports i had to use in the connection between the web application(client) and the java application(server). But i have this error:

I did ssh -N 536(..) too, but it didn't work. I'm full blocked, i've never worked with sockets and ports and i'm blocked. Thanks for the help guys ;)

Answer 1

You might do better to read up on sockets and ports then. Can you give a specific error that you are getting? If you are trying to use a non-supported port, then it will be blocked. If you want to do port forwarding between gears then you need to make sure you have a public/private key setup on your gears for that purpose and added to your account.
