I'm trying to run 2 headless servers at the same time, in different directories, 0.16.51 and 0.17.1. For the 0.17.1 setup, I've changed the port= value in config.ini to 34199, however the log shows it opening the default socket 34197 and then erroring. How do I fix this?

Try and explicitly include the config.ini path in the command you execute to start the server (the -c option). To test if it is being executed correctly, flick the check update flag so that you can see a change in the output to ensure it's being read correctly.

Okay, I found the problem, works perfectly now. I did add the config.ini path to the start command, however, nothing changed. When I went back to the ini file, I finally read this: ; Semicolons (;) at the beginning of the line indicate a comment. Comment lines are ignored. Seems I had port= commented out. :Facepalm:

Ahhhhhh yes, of course! Well spotted, grats
