Can't start server, host address already in use

General Pfyffer · Post by **General Pfyffer** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 12:52 pm

Hello. I am trying to setup a Factorio headless server on Ubuntu 18. At this point, everything is installed and ready to go, bet when I try to start the server it tells me that "Host address ist already in use" even though there's no Factorio instance running on the server. I've tried changing the port in the config, but when starting the server it still tells me "opening socket at 0.0.0.0:34197". Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?
