Setting up own Server: "Couldn't bind to UDP port 27910"
« on: December 01, 2012, 03:41:17 AM »
hi,

trying to set up my own quake2 server, but there is a problem. When starting r1q2ded-old build 7864 (linux) the following error message appears:
Code: [Select]
UDP_OpenSocket: Couldn't bind to UDP port 27910: Cannot assign requested address
Couldn't allocate dedicated server IP port on 87.73.79.21:27910. Another application is probably using it.
Error: Couldn't allocate dedicated server IP port on 87.73.79.21:27910. Another application is probably using it.

How can this be fixed?

[edit]
I'm launching the server with this command:
Code: [Select]
./r1q2ded-old +set dedicated 1 +set ip 87.73.79.21
When ommitting the "set ip" part, the server boots up fine (haven't tested connection yet though)

I managed to solve the issue just by ommitting the "set ip" parameter as described. Obviously its not needed with my configuration.

Question: what do I have to do in order to join the tastyspleen network with my server? eg. getting wallfly to connect etc?
