"The bound address is already in use"

[tontze]

Ive been running qbittorrent-nox for a while now. But since i rebooted my debian, nox isn starting anymore. Problem is below, it does not matter what ip i set in config. What could be the problem ?

Code: Select all

WebUI will be started shortly after internal preparations. Please wait...
"Web UI: Unable to bind to IP: 192.168.1.105, port: 8080. Reason: The bound address is already in use"

******** Information ********
To control qBittorrent, access the WebUI at: http://localhost:8080

The Web UI administrator username is: admin
The Web UI administrator password has not been changed from the default: adminadmin
This is a security risk, please change your password in program preferences.

As it says, "port 8080 is already in use".
Change the WebUI port in settings, or the config file, or just look up what uses that port.

How to look it up?
Depends. If you use Ubuntu, Google: "List listening ports and programs Ubuntu". If you use OpenSUSE? "List listening ports and programs openSUSE", etc. Because it differs by distro. But anyway, you'll get like a list, saying this-and-that uses port 8080.

What fooled me, was that it said address is allready in use, instead port is allready in use. Found the culprit, thank you very much !
