Newbie here, trying out Sphere, no promises - Johnny - 01-09-2018 11:46 AM

running Debian Linux Jessie v8 32bit
just loaded sphereserver tonight and getting these errors:

GC: 0 objects accounted for
FATAL:Unable to bind listen socket 10.0.0.199 port 60 (error code: -1)
FATAL:Server terminated: Failed to bind server IP/port (code -9)
*** Error in `./spheresvr': free(): invalid pointer: 0x0b792248 ***
Segmentation fault

any tips would be helpful.

Usually means theres already one running in my experience.

RE: Newbie here, trying out Sphere, no promises - Johnny - 01-10-2018 05:10 AM

since I am using TMux to run it, and it always goes back to the command line after, I don't see how.
I am also running another game server on port 2593 on the same pc, but that shouldn't interfere with it.

Here is my sphere.ini file, because I am getting the above mentioned error and I can't see why:
