EikonError: Error code -1 | Port number was not identified.
I reinstalled my Eikon due to the Excel add-in doesn't work. Then the Excel fixed but my python API can't run. I tried all the possible solutions on Google and it still doesn't work. The error shows below. What can I do now?

Everything back to normal after I shut down my PC for the weekend. No idea why reinstall and restart can't solve but this works. Thank you very much for your concern.
Hi @davionwang, If you search this site for "Port number was not identified", there will be dozens of questions, with varying resolutions for you to try. The most common one seems to be to check if a .PortInUse file exists and what is the port number in it.
Hello Gurpreet, thank you very much for your reply. I have tried many solutions. The .PortInUse exists and port is 9000. I followed instructions on the link https://developers.refinitiv.com/article/eikon-data-apipython-troubleshooting-refinitiv
For step 3, there are no SxS files found under TRD folder and http://localhost:9000/ping?all doesn't work for me.
I guess that caused by I reinstall the Eikon and python can't find the right path?
Hi @davionwang,
If you followed the article and configured the Eikon as suggested in step 3, then upon next restart of Eikon and trying to initiate a connection from API, you should see a SXS... log file. It is being written somewhere - so it is important to find it and figure out the cause.
You can upload the file here, so that we can take a look at it as well.
Hi Gurpeet, I restarted Eikon but still can't find the sxs, below lists all files
I also tried to follow this answer https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/answers/45044/view.html
