Hi, Wowza Support

One server, and uses two IP addresses.

ifconfig

eth0 : x.x.x.1

eht0:1 : x.x.x.2

Web services are used to eth0(x.x.x.1:80)

Wowza services are used to eth0:1(x.x.x.2:80)

However, an error occurs when running wowza.

wowza vhost.xml config

x.x.x.2

80

Error Message : WARN vhost comment _defaultVHost_ Bind failed, try again (x.x.x.2:80): java.net.BindException: Address already in use

How do I resolve this?

Hello

It may be that you might have two instances of Wowza running or another process on your server that is conflicting with that port (i.e. Apache, nginx?). Try running lsof or netstat to determine what might be listening on this port.

Thanks,

Matt

Use `netstat -an | grep LISTEN` to confirm if anything else is already binding to that ip / port.

Also look for anything binding to 0.0.0.0:80 which is the default for Wowza or a web server.

Roger.
