Address already in use but server is not running
I recently had to install debian 6.0 on one of my servers after a hard drive crash, and while I had freeradius running before, I can't seem to get it running now. I ran sudo apt-get install freeradius and hit enter to accept the additional packages, and I also installed dialup admin with the intention of getting to it after getting freeradius running, but now I am running into trouble with starting freeradius. The install completed without errors, but running sudo ./freeradius -X produces the following: Failed binding to authentication address * port 1812: Address already in use /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[240]: Error binding to port for 0.0.0.0 port 1812 I can post the full contents of the debug dump, but this appears to be the only point at which an error is encountered. I am quite sure that there is not an instance already running, so I don't know what else could be using the port. Any ideas?
Can you run lsof to see what process has the port open? On May 28, 2012 5:35 PM, "Michael Aldridge" <aldridge.mac@gmail.com> wrote:

I could if I knew how. manually sifting the output of lsof doesn't appear to include anything pertaining to that socket

ps aux | grep free or ps ax | grep radius check for the process already running. kill -9 PID then start radius in debug mode. /usr/sbin/freeradius -X you probably have one started manually and one from init.d, and they are arguing over port access. -j
yep, killing the offending process worked just fine. thanks for the help!
