Could not bind socket address and port are already in us?
This error is caused by the add-on. To do so, open the program options by going to Edit -> Options -> Browsers and change the value of the WebSockets port. The same value must then also be set in the browser add-on (within the browser itself).
What does bind do in socket?
The bind() function binds a unique local name to the socket with descriptor socket. After calling socket(), a descriptor does not have a name associated with it. However, it does belong to a particular address family as specified when socket() is called. The exact format of a name depends on the address family.
What is bind address in socket?
A process can bind a specific IP address to its socket: for a TCP client, this assigns the source IP address that will be used for IP datagrams sent on the sockets. For a TCP server, this restricts the socket to receive incoming client connections destined only to that IP address.
What is the difference between bind and connect?
Bind is used to allocate a particular port by system to a socket and no other process can use this particular port until the first process releases it. It’s typically used in server side. Connect is used by client to connect to listening server socket.
What does ” could not bind socket.address and port are ” mean?
“Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use” usually appears if PRTG can’t find any free ports between 1024-5000. This can happen if there are too many sensors that base on TCP are opening ports to quickly (i.e. too short scanning intervals).
How is bind error similar to address already use?
I’ve gone through many posts and forums and I’m new to socket programming. Major parts of my code are similar to BIND ERROR : Address already in use
When do address and port are already in use?
Address and port are already in use” usually appears if PRTG can’t find any free ports between 1024-5000. This can happen if there are too many sensors that base on TCP are opening ports to quickly (i.e. too short scanning intervals). Best Regards.

When to use SO REUSEADDR in TCP socket?
The SO_REUSEADDR is for when the socket bound to an address has already been closed, the same address (ip-address/port pair) can be used again directly. Check to see if the port is in use. Either telnet to that port or use netstat -a. It should be in use (as the error indicates) and kill the appropriate process.
