well, i just set unrealircd up, the problem is when i try to start it, and check the log file i get errors

[Fri Apr 15 02:57:07 2005] - Error binding stream socket to IP my.actual.ip.number port 6667 - mysite.com[]:Cannot assign requested address
[Fri Apr 15 02:59:31 2005] - Error binding stream socket to IP 0.0.0.0 port 6667 - mysite.com[]:Address already in use
[Fri Apr 15 03:00:14 2005] - Error binding stream socket to IP my.lan.ip.number port 6667 - mysite.com[]:Address already in use

like it shows, i tried both my actual IP number, the IP i bind to from my router, and also tried just the * and none of them work. any possible ideas on what it may be?
(just incase someone might be thinking im a complete idiot, i actually do have my IP numbers in the config file, i just changed em on here)

thanks in advance for any and all help

well, i had checked the FAQ earlier (as well as read the comments in the config file) and like i showed, tried all the IP's i had to bind to and still nothing. can you please help me figure out what else it may be thats causing this?

Someone else is using the IP, it's as simple as that.

Or you don't have access to bind to that port.

Try to "./unreal stop" before "./unreal start"... then if for some reason it is already running, it will stop

hm, how can someone else be using my IP, or me not have acess to bind that port? noone else has access to this computer.

If this is *NIX, type the following:

Code: Select all

netstat -nal | grep 6667

Windows:

Code: Select all

netstat -an | find "6667"
