Hi. I'm pretty new to MythTV and need some help here. I installed Fedora C3 and followed Jarod's HOWTO. I got it to (basically) work once, but then I guess I did something and now I can't start mythbackend. When I try I get this error:

Starting up as the master server.
2005-02-17 13:12:39.215 mythbackend version: 0.17.20050130-1 www.mythtv.org
2005-02-17 13:12:39.216 Enabled verbose msgs : important general
QServerSocket: failed to bind or listen to the socket
Failed to bind port: 6543



Any ideas? In MythTV setup I have the IP address set to 127.0.0.1 (I also tried setting my actual IP but got the same error). If you need any other info let me know.


Thanks!

It's complaining that port 6543 is in use. Do a "netstat -a" and see if there are
any listeners using that port already. If so, kill off the process that is using
the port. If you want to find out what processes are using the port use (as root
user):


   "lsof -i :6543"
