Server is not linking to its assigned port

[BACK IN BLACK]

Hey guys, I'm having troubles making a Counter-Strike: Source server go to the port of 27021, but when I start it up, it goes to the port of 27025.

here is my command line:

/home/***/srcds_i686 -dir /home/***/ -game cstrike +maxplayers 32 +ip 70.38.21.1 -port 27021 +map death_run -tickrate 66

And yes, it is off of a control panel, I just input the ip, port, tickrate, and it will make the server. I've installed at least 5-6 other servers, and this has never happend before.

I'm open to suggestions, I've already tried reinstalling the server, but it still did nothing.

Thanks in advance,
Miauw Mizx

port 27021 allready occupied? Source automatically tries the next port until it finds one thats free.

Well there are no other source servers running that port, on that IP that I have assigned, and there is no server with that ip:port in hlsw.

Is there a way to see if the port is already being occupied?

sudo lsof -i

Ok, for some reason, there is something holding up the ports from 27008-27026. When the player count on the servers is lower, I will restart the dedi and see if that takes care of it. If not, then I will go more in depth and find out the problem.

Cough, You need to Disable Sourcetv COmpletly, otherwise the port will still be used, even if sourcetv isn't active.

Ok then how do you completely disable sourcetv?

-nohltv in the start parameters.
