A newbie got an old question in the 1st day of the new year.

[rijating1]

OK, it takes me several hours to realize that i AM a newbie and a newbie get little help here. So, here i am.

when i tried to run dogecoind in my ubuntun server, it gave me shit likes this no matter how many times i rebuild it:

Error: An error occured while setting up the RPC port 22556 for listening: bind: Cannot assign requested address

actually，this port is available. and litecoind can also run well  on this server.
i cp the same file to another sever which running ubuntu 12.04， it running well！ I am confused totally.

Pls help me, lol.

Try running

Code:

netstat | grep 22555

Also the proper ports for DOGE are

Code:

rpcport:22555
port:22554

I found the best way to run it was:

Code:

dogecoind -daemon

dogecoind -daemon

thks for your advice！ Happy new year！

i put there lines in dogecoin.conf：

server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=rpcadmin
rpcpassword=4C8XkztTmdmhefHw6KYr6wV7iKnyvUmMfQcKXQkvWbD3
rpcport=22555
port=22554

command “netstat | grep 22555” gives nothing, and "dogecoind -daemon" also makes no difference.

Okay, change the password, change it now...

The first command that I gave you checks to see if anything is running on that port. The second is just a better way to start the coin, it runs it as a daemon.

This is mine:

Code:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
addnode=67.205.20.10
addnode=146.185.181.114
addnode=95.85.29.144
addnode=78.46.57.132
addnode=188.165.19.28
addnode=162.243.113.110
rpcport=22555
port=22554
gen=0
testnet=0
listen=100
server=1
daemon=1

Thanks for your patient. I noticed that！
I guess, maybe i have forgot to install some libs or something.
Oh,this drives me crazy.

Did you compile from source? A complete list of libraries can be found at https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master-0.8/doc/build-unix.md. I know that is for Litecoin, but it should work. Scroll to "dependency build instructions," and install everything, even the optional one, so basically install everything on that list.

Then:

Code:

cd dir/of/dogecoin/src
mkdir obj
make -jx -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- //Where the x is the number of CPU cores you have
strip dogecoind
sudo cp dogecoind /usr/bin/

[rijating1]

yes, i compile from source. I have read this instructions many many times. Following the instructions, the build was good, no error shown. I also compiled the litecoin by the same way which run well too. SO WEIRD

Try another port.

[KosherBacon]

Try to full restart.

Code:

sudo shutdown -r now

Then start it again.

[rijating1]

Also tried. I even tried to recover the system, no difference.
I noticed that some other guys also met this problem, maybe i should try to leave them a msg.

[Mensfreedom]

maybe the problem is in the router and port forwarding? but i am the newbie too happy new year!

[rijating1]

maybe the problem is in the router and port forwarding? but i am the newbie too happy new year!

but the litecoind can bind with any port I pointed. so wired.

[grumpybearsgirl]

Have you tried running it as root or sudo?

[Smileyftw]

maybe he doesn't know how to run it as root
