Hello,
First of all, if you are using the default 4445 port for FOP2 (by previously changing or disabling FOP1 is you were running it), then the web_dir parameter is optional, and you might want to comment it out. (The web_dir is only needed if you run FOP2 on a non standard port)
Now, you have a problem connecting from your web client to port 4445 on FOP2 server. Are you still running FOP1? If so, did you disable FOP1 or changed its port to something else than 4445? Finally, is port 4445 open in your machine or firewall?
If FOP2 clients connects to port 4445 on FOP1 server, it won't be able to connect and will sit there forever. If FOP2 client cannot establish a connection to port 4445, it will try to reconnect 10 times.
One last word, after the tcp path is clear, you might face authentication issues. Be sure to add a button with the extension 1014 in your autobuttons.cfg file or you might run into issues. And if you are doing a complete manual setup, comment the #exec line with a semi-colon.
Best regards,
