Address already in use - bind(2) (Errno::EADDRINUSE)

After trying all things in : Ruby script/server -- Errno::EADDRINUSE - Rails - Ruby-Forum
I cannot find the pid of the clogger. So, I am still having trouble
clearing whatever is active on my localhost port 3000.

I can run on a different port “script/server -p 3001” .
But my OC would like to have all ports on my machine clean and usable.

Below is my error - please help. Thanks!

When I try to start the server on typical 3000 port with “script/server”
(using mogrel) I get:

=> Booting Mongrel
=> Rails 2.3.8 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000

Sounds like you have a stuck terminal somewhere. Have you restarted
lately? Does the problem persist over a restart?

Walter

Yes. It persists after restart/shutdown.

Are you using any sort of third-party Apache handler, like Headdress
or VirtualHostX, which can configure a persistent local server on a
high port? What do you see if you log into your computer and open a
fresh terminal and try to launch script/server from your rails root?
Does your computer just start up with Mongrel running somewhere? What
do you see when you open a browser and go to localhost:3000?

Walter

Not using Headdress or VirtualHostX.

I don’t think I have Mongrel on any kind of autostart. But not sure.

When I open a browser and go to localhost:3000 - it just cycles in a
load without any page resolve (error or otherwise)

In trying :
$: sudo railsapp/script/server

I got:

Any thoughts?

Do you have Zfone installed?See

For more details (not much). Other than that, I have nothing
else for you.

You might trylsof -i
To see which process/pid has port 3000 open. It will show up as
something like: ruby 94580 7u IPv4 0x08681274 0t0 TCP
*:hbci (LISTEN)The 94580 is the PID. The hbci is because port 3000 is
used for that protocol (apparently).On linux netstat -nap would show
which processes have which ports open. Sadly -p/-o does not seem to
exist on the mac version of netstat.

This doesn’t seem to be a specific rails problem, you know?

If you’re using ubuntu look here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-183878.html

With:
sudo netstat -lpnAinet
you can find out which program is using port 3000

Bente P.

Yes, I do - it’s terrible. This has got to be the issue. Thanks so
much!

Thanks Walter and Vince. And for those playing at home with same
problem:

sudo launchctl remove phil-zimmermann.zfoned

This did the trick! Would have never got this without the help. Thanks
Guys!

And of course to remove it permanently:
sudo rm -rf /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.phil-zimmermann.zfoned.plist
