Title: bitcoind RPC port 22736 unable to bind Post by: Ealex on December 09, 2017, 09:16:38 AM Some Context...
I am setting up the seed nodes for the altcoin I am developing for learning purposes. In chainparams.cpp I have changed the vSeeds vector to what I hope will be my seed nodes, by adding the IPV4 addresses of my servers. I have one seed node with the ip address XX.XX.140.199 and my other one is ip address XX.XX.138.152 I have changed the IP addresses to the ones above, and RPC ports to 22736 in chainparams.cpp on line 123 chainparamsseeds.h on line 11 and 12 contrib/seeds/nodes_main.txt line 1 and 2 chainparamsbase.cpp on lines 35, 48, 62 THE ERROR... When I build this and run GELFd which is equivalent to bitcoind (but I renamed it), I get this error: Error: Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:22736 on this computer (bind returned error Address already in use (98)) Error: Failed to listen on any port. Use -listen=0 if you want this. Have I chosen a bad port? Or is there some other issue here that I'm not seeing? When I run netstat I can see that the port I have chosen is not in use by something else |
