IW standalone/service not starting - port allready in use

[Pekka Paunio]

Hi,

we have a problem with installing IW-application in our server. We have
reserved port (8892) for that application. Netstat states that it is not in
use.

When we try to start a standalone version or try to start service version,
the *.err states: '3.6.2008 14:07:33 Could not bind socket. Address and port
are already in use.'

Exactly the same binaries run ok on a virgin XP-machine (No Delphi
installed).

Any ideas?

Just as a test, what happens if you assign the port to 8893 instead of
8892 (just to see if it's a problem with the application or the port
and/or firewall).
If 8893 succeeds, then I would check again at the port - otherwise, it
may be that your application itself has a problem binding the socket.
Perhaps it's blocked by your (Windows?) firewall ??

Personally, I doubt if the problem has to do with the Delphi
installation, but I would check firewall settings...

The problem is that the compiled standalone (and service) sticks to port
8888 and does not use port 8892 it was assigned to in servercontroller.

Now i need to fix this problem - any ideas?

Problem solved

There were in the code leftovers from Arcana ServerManager and it loaded the
portnumber from a registry key...
