Description Carsten Bormann 2004-06-27 12:20:12 UTC

can't setup the listening port 9000 for the HTTP server: Address already in use at /usr/local/slimserver/
Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 146.

With Perl 5.6.0, the necessary argument to IO::Socket->new is "Reuse", not "ReuseAddr".
Simple Hack:

        $http_server_socket = HTTP::Daemon->new(
                LocalPort => $listenerport,
                LocalAddr => $listeneraddr,
                Listen    => SOMAXCONN,
                Reuse => 1,       ########## Hack for 5.6.0
                ReuseAddr => 1,

(This has been a bug for a while, I just was too lazy to find it.)

Comment 1 KDF 2004-07-26 22:55:03 UTC

is there any reason not to merge this in?

Comment 2 Carsten Bormann 2004-07-27 02:07:36 UTC

I have used this for a month, with no problems.
Of course, this should receive some testing on other systems, but this is what the development version 
is for, no?
There *should* be no problems on other systems, anyway.

Comment 3 Blackketter Dean 2004-07-27 09:44:10 UTC

I'd like Sean's opinion on this.  I'm concerned that in some cases we'd see success in opening the 
socket, but we wouldn't see any incoming connections.  Sean?

Fix should appear in the next nightly build.

Comment 5 Chris Owens 2006-06-16 14:40:23 UTC

There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006.  I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.

Comment 6 Chris Owens 2008-12-18 11:54:01 UTC

Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion.  I apologize for the inconvenience.
