Failed binding server socket

[ghost]

Hi,

I tried using redir for a specific port and after using the command it says:
Failed binding server socket: Cannot assign requested address
Is there a package that I forgot to install?

I used the command
redir --laddr=127.0.0.1 --lport=6901 --caddr=35.187.226.20 --cport=6901

Regards

Check first, e.g. netstat, that port 6901 on your computer isn't used by some other service.

Any luck with netstat, or does the problem remain?

@troglobit I checked nestat but the port is not being used. What should be the next step?

[troglobit]

That's really odd, how did you run netstat? With netstat -atnup you can see both TCP and UDP, in numerical listing. Try grepping for the port, e.g. netstat -atnup | grep :6901

Also, what version of redir are you using? As of v3.0 the default command line syntax does not use --laddr et al, only if configured with --enable-compat.

Will check again @troglobit i will provide feedback within the day.

[troglobit]

OK.

I must point out that if you're having problems with a pre-packaged version of redir, by e.g.
Debian/Ubuntu, then you should post any bug reports there. As upstream we can only ever
support the latest version.
