Hello everyone,
because I am working with large models a colleague recommended me to work with a paraview server where I can use multiple cores. I found an instruction online how to setup up paraview for working remotely which is the following:
Make sure you install the same version on the client and on the server. Then you can run on your server:
<paraview_install>/bin/mpiexec -np 4 <paraview_install>/bin/pvserver
Than you can use your client to connect to this server.
<paraview_install>bin/paraview --url=
I have to say that my server and client is the same machine. The first time I followed the instruction everything worked fine. But when I closed paraview and opened it again I got following error and it is not possible to connect to the server and work with paraview on multiple cores anymore.

Do I need to close my first connection? If so, how is that possible? Could somebody please help me? I appreciate any kind of help. If you need additional information, feel free to ask.
Many thanks and best regards,
Daniel
