I use the iqconnect.exe on my windows machine with no problem. But I want to move my algo to AWS Ubuntu instance for more reliable automation.

I have been troubleshooting on stack-overflow but kind of stuck.

When I run the following command [IN] the following output [OUT] results below:

[IN]
ubuntu@ip_address:~/iqfeed$ wine iqconnect.exe -product ##APP_ID## -login ##USER## -password ##PASS## -autoconnect -savelogininfo

[OUT]
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window
err:module:import_dll Library mfc110.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\ubuntu\\iqfeed\\iqconnect.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\ubuntu\\iqfeed\\iqconnect.exe" failed, status c0000135

not sure how to address this issue.

Do i need to find mfc100.dll from my local windows PC and save it in the directory "\home\ubuntu\iqfeed\"?



My configurations are:

configuration:wine-1.6.2
the iqconnect.exe i have copied over came from the following build 5.2.6.0

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
4.4.0-1041-aws #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 15 22:18:17 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

two items:

1) you will need to have the i386 wine packages installed

2) you need to run the iqfeed installer inside the wine environment, you can't just copy iqconnect over.

hope this helps.

Let me try that aswell. Do you mean the run wine on iqfeed_client.exe (http://www.iqfeed.net/iqfeed_client.exe)?

Copying over mcf110.dll seemed to where iqconnect.exe was located seem to get be future.
For example. it created the DTN folder and the following log statement. But Wine terminates right away.
Log statement below and what wine exported below that (fyi)

This is in the IQConnectLog.txt file

Also when I run wine on iqconnect.exe or iqfeed_client.exe (setup exe)

I get the following error. Not sure if I need to add any arguments to wine, etc.

Able to get further by launching process as headless. Using command below. However does not appear to connect like windows.
Not sure If I need to send another command to keep connection connected.

xvfb-run -s -noreset -a wine iqconnect.exe -product ##APP_ID## -login ##USER## -password ##PASS## -autoconnect -savelogininfo

Not sure what exactly the output means, but IQConnect has a configurable timeout that determines how long it waits for a client application to connect. This timeout is quite short by default, so it is good to have the client app already trying to open a connection as you issue that command. After that, IQConnect closes automatically. As I said, I'm not sure if your output indicates this situation.

That did help.
Looks like you need to keep a socket open or it kicks you out after 5 second.
The error log doesn't suggest that in the file attached...but I believe that is because I was not opening the required ports properly.

You can consider this closed.
