#309 closed defect (fixed)

Integration server prevents Zotero from loading in multiple instances of Firefox

Reported by: dstillman Owned by: simon
Priority: minor Milestone: 1.0 Beta 2
Component: word integration Version: 1.0
Keywords: Cc:

Description

If the integration server can't bind to port 50001 (e.g. because another instance is already open in another instance of Firefox), it throws an exception that prevents Zotero from loading.

Integration should fail gracefully if there's an error binding to the port.

yeah. really, the proper way to deal with this situation is to bind to a random port (so that multiple users with multiple copies of zotero on the same machine can all enjoy integration), but then i need to modify the Word VBA code to locate and read a file, which may be non-trivial.
