starting ES under linux

[piffa]

hello Michael,

I installed ES 3.6.2 on Linux (red hat 9.0) with java 1.4.2_04, but when I run it (StartElectroServer) ES give me this exception:

Could not start server thread, exiting


it seems like the server is already running, but it isn't ot at least it doesn't appear in the process list (I tried both ps and top).

any ideas?

Have you checked the ip address is of the server and not locolhost, also try changing the port number to say 10000 - just remember to change it on the flash side to match.

I agree with Dave. This error occurs when you have an IP address/port number combination that is in use or doesn't belong to the machine. A simple test to start with is get the server running using 127.0.0.1. Once thats working, then try and change the IP to something else.
