Resolved Server failed to bind. This is usually caused by another process being bound to the same port.

Sorry if this is something obvious but it seems like a bug to me.
I'm not able to start a server with the given ip/port

When server loads I'm instantly calling StartServer using code

Code (CSharp):

1.             var config = MultiplayService.Instance.ServerConfig;
2.             Debug.Log($"MultiplayService config: {JObject.FromObject(config)}");
3.             var ip = config.IpAddress;
4.             var port = config.Port;
5.        
6.             Debug.Log($"Starting server... {ip}:{port}");
7.             UnityTransport.SetConnectionData(ip, port);
8.        
9.             if (!NetworkManager.Singleton.StartServer())
10.             {
11.                 Debug.LogError($"Failed to start server on {ip}:{port}");
12.                 Application.Quit(1);
13.                 return;
14.             }

I'm see errors in the server log:

I've also tried using variations of the port, like port + 1 etc, so nothing seems to bind.

 

Hey thanks for the reply.

I actually rolled back to latest 2021 LTS, and now its connecting fine... The package is still the same though, not sure how that makes a difference.

But I'll try bind to 0.0.0.0 IP in future.

Cheers.

 

I had the same problem, because I was somewhat blindly following the matchmaking sample, where they assign the IP given by the command line parameters to the transport's connection data. They must be setting the IP to 0.0.0.0 via the build configuration, but I missed this.

 

Hi, so the problema was the unity editor version?

 

Nah putting "0.0.0.0" is the fix
