[chuck]

hello when i tried to run all 3 of my servers again after they been down for days....so i type this screen ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -max players +map .... -port 27015.... it show loading and keep showing same and the common thing i see is this WARNING: UDP_OpenSocket: unable to bind socket
Couldn't allocate dedicated server UDP port

what thats? how can i fix it...and when i type screen -r i get alot of list of detaches...like 10 is that normal?

[chuck]

and i'm hosting dedicated server from netrackservers.com so its not my ip!!!

[loopyman]

You're getting that error because something is already running on that port.

[chuck]

really? how can i remove that? because all my 3 servers went down for no reason and when i tried that it won't work...how can i remove port so i can readd it when they are not online

Well who ever that will answer later, will need the 3x Command lines for your servers. So if you could provide them, it might go quicker.

IIRC you are running a root server and the one who used to manage left your clan, right? So, you are using "your" ip, i.e. the one of your root server. This also means that you (unintentionally) will have some server running with the same port number on the box. maybe you have simply a forgotten server running in the background (e.g. inside a screen).

try this to list all running servers:

Code:

ps fauxww | grep srcds

(and post the result here if you don't know how to read it)
You can kill processes using the kill command and the PID listed in the second column (e.g. "kill 12345" will kill the process having 12345 in the second column of ps faux).

still doesn't work.. i typed ps fauxww | grep srcds but it show list of thing then i did screen ./srcds... still show those warning

---

when i type that command, it show like 10 list of command in port 27016 which where i want to ahvev server running...

[chuck]

[chuck]

i did like 100 different command line.. but it never works because i believe those port are running but not on list... so i need to know how to stop those port and put server back on

[BehaartesEtwas]

the ps fauxww command does not kill any process on its own. it only lists them. you need to kill them by hand.

alternatively you can kill all running servers by typing "killall srcds_i686" (supposing you have the i686er binary running)

[chuck]

ok now something gives no error but it gives wrong ip.. when i type screen ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +max players 32 -autoupdate -insecure -port 27016
it goes to wrong port 27018... why?

and it seems like there still gives 2 errors warning.... behaartes can we do live chat or steam or anything? ill pay you $10 to get this fix!!!
