Need help with computing prime numbers in server client socket

Question

Hi guys, I'm trying to do a client server socket program, where the client writes a list of numbers for the server to compute, and then finally server returns a result.

I've managed to get my functions working the way I want (not in client/server)
But I've problem implementing it into client server.

Here's my code (not client/server yet)
It will read in a text file, and then calculate the Sum Of Prime numbers between the upper limit and lower limit.

prime.c

#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>

#define MAX_PATH_LENGTH 2048
#define MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH 256
#define MAX_LINE_LENGTH 256
#define MAX_RECORDS 50

const char NULL_CHAR = (char) 0;

struct rec
{
	char name[MAX_LINE_LENGTH];
	unsigned int lowerLimit;
	unsigned int upperLimit;
};

struct rec records[MAX_RECORDS];

int main()
{
	char buffer[MAX_PATH_LENGTH];
	char filename[MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH];
	char line[MAX_LINE_LENGTH];
	int len;
	FILE *pFile;
	char *pTok;
	const char *delim = ",";
	const char *delimLast = "\r\n";
	unsigned int firstNo, secondNo;
	int count, n;
	printf("Enter File Name: ");
	fgets(filename, MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH - 1, stdin);
	len = strlen (filename);
	if (filename [len - 1] == '\n')
	{
		filename [len - 1] = NULL_CHAR;
	}
	if ((pFile = fopen (filename, "r")) == NULL)
	{
		printf("Cannot Open File \n");
	}

	for (count = 0; count < MAX_RECORDS;)
	{
		if (fgets (line, MAX_LINE_LENGTH - 1, pFile) == NULL)
		{
			break;
		}

		pTok = strtok (line, delim);

		if (pTok == NULL || *pTok == NULL_CHAR || *pTok == '\n')
		{
			continue;
		}
		
		records[count].lowerLimit = strtoul(pTok, NULL, 0);
		pTok = strtok(NULL, delimLast);
		records[count].upperLimit = strtoul(pTok, NULL, 0);

		count++;
	}

	double processingTime;
	double aveProcessingTime;
	double totalWaitingTime;
	double aveWaitingTime;
	time_t start, stop;
	double diff;
	double waitingTime[count];
	start = time(NULL);
	waitingTime[0] = 0;
	for (n = 0; n < count; n++)
	{	
		time_t start2, stop2;	
		printf("\n");
		printf("Process %d, ", n+1);
		printf("Waited for : %0.2fs\n", waitingTime[n]);
		printf("Lower Limit is %u, Upper Limit is %u\n", records[n].lowerLimit, records[n].upperLimit);
		//start2 = time(NULL);
		printf("Sum Of Primes: %u \n", sumOfPrimes(records[n].lowerLimit, records[n].upperLimit) );
		stop2 = time(NULL);
		totalWaitingTime = totalWaitingTime + waitingTime[n];
		waitingTime[n+1] = difftime(stop2,start);
	}
	stop = time(NULL);

	processingTime = difftime(stop,start);
	aveProcessingTime = processingTime/n;
	aveWaitingTime = totalWaitingTime/n;

	printf("\n");
	printf("Total no. of jobs : %d\n", n);
	printf("Total waiting time (secs) : %0.2f\n", totalWaitingTime);
	printf("Total processing time (secs) : %0.2f\n", processingTime);
	printf("Ave. waiting time (secs) : %0.2f\n",aveWaitingTime);
	printf("Ave. processing time (secs) : %0.2f\n", aveProcessingTime);
	printf("\n");
	
	return 0;
}

bool isPrime(unsigned int aNumber)
{
	unsigned int divisor = 2;
	
	while (divisor < aNumber)
	{
		if((aNumber % divisor)==0)
		{
			return false;
		}
		divisor++;
	}
	
	return true;
}

int sumOfPrimes(unsigned int lowerLimit,unsigned int upperLimit)
{
	unsigned int total = 0;
	unsigned int num = lowerLimit + 1;
	
	while (num < upperLimit)
	{
		if(isPrime(num)==true)
		{
			total = total + num;
		}
		num++;
	}
	
	return total;
}

this is the text file that is being read.

I'm not sure what C compiler your using but you should use one that's modern..

these lines are wrong

read(clientFd,lowerLimit);
read(clientFd,upperLimit);
write(clientFd,sumOfPrimes(lowerLimit,upperLimit));

ssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count);
ssize_t write(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count);

Please note the number of arguments.

hmm, I suppose I've the latest compiler for c?
Currently working this program in Ubuntu 9.04.
compile using:
cc server.c -o server
cc client.c -o client
and running using:
./server& (running in background)
./client

Thanks anyway, I tried having all 3 arguments in, but still didnt work.
I tried declaring a fixed unsigned int for lower and upper limit:

unsigned int lowerLimit = 1;
unsigned int upperLimit = 10;

write(clientFd,sumOfPrimes(lowerLimit,upperLimit),200);

It still didn't return the computation results over.
What is wrong?

try compiling with these switches

gcc filename.c -ansi -Wall -pedantic -o filename

This line

write(clientFd,sumOfPrimes(lowerLimit,upperLimit),200);

sumOfPrimes returns an int which you are saying is 200 bytes big...It should be

int ans = sumOfPrimes(lowerLimit,upperLimit);
write(clientFd, (const void*)&ans,sizeof(int));
