Title: webserver could not create socket
Post by: crunix on November 01, 2004, 01:59:58 PM

After upgrading from rc5 to rc7 (thanks to aMule Help Linux Forum) i got the following
error while starting amuleweb:
-----CUT HERE-------
amuleweb -p 4712
Enter password for mule connection (return if no pass defined):

Creating client...
Now, doing connection....
Using host 'localhost' port:4711
Trying to connect (timeout = 10 sec)...
Succeeded! Connection established.
---------------------------------
|       aMule Web Server        |
---------------------------------
Use 'Help' for command list
Web Server: Started

WSThread: Thread started
WSThread: created service
WSThread: could not create socket on :4711

----END CUT---

My preferences (Remote controls) show that :

Enabled server @ 4711
Enabled GZip compression
Enabled Low rights User

Accept External Connection using TCP Port 4712
Use TCP Ports instead of unix local sockets
Don't use password  

I have read and followed all the instructions at
http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Webserver

any hints ?

thanks in advance

Maybe yuo have another aMule already running with an open socket on that port?

Run as root:

netstat -nap | grep 4711

And you will see what program is using that port
