Could Not Bind Socket (CentOS v5)

[Antec]

I have created 4 servers through the webadmin panel but after I start 3 of them I get an error saying that the server was NOT started. I tried to restart the whole server via the startscript but then I get a deamon error. In the server logs I find the following:

Any ideas on how I can go about fixing this? The last time I fixed it I just re-installed the server but then I just ran into the same problems after tryign to start the servers after remaking them.

It could be possible that you have another server instance already running and that is what is holding the ports. Search your process list and kill any old server processes and try again.

I have tried that and have been able to reinstall teamspeak anew and able to start 3 servers but as soon as i start the 4th the whole thing crashes and i start getting that error.

I imagine this might sound stupid but

netstat -n -l

Not sure what that was suppose to do but here are the results:

# netstat -n -l

that command should print all used ports by that machine the one I gave you is for listening ports mainly
-a
should print all I think
-n
will not gonna translate IPs and ports with DNS etc it can slow the ouput to minutes...
-l
listening


well from the one you posted it should start up.... might some other app connecting from a port?? even thru its more like not possible.

remove the output from netstat in previous post.
I could say what services are running there what DNS you use ....

yea well next time I should say what you should get heh. my bad. was thinking you would know.
you have IPv6? O
