About a couple of weeks ago I managed to successfully install SFS on my server, and it worked well. Today I tried to check something on the server, but now SFS won't run. Checking the console, I receive several errors. Strangely, the exact same errors are received when trying to run a SFS server a second time on the same machine... I'm totally baffled by this, because the ports are open and there shouldn't be any problem with it. Here's the console output:

Shutting down server...

Press any key to continue . . .

Any thoughts?

Yes, you are trying to start SmartFox while another instance is already running. Simply shut down the previous version, or if you simply want to check its status connect to it via the Admin Tool

I thought that that was the problem, but I checked the processes running in the background, and SFS wasn't one of them. I also tried running the admin tool to see if maybe I'm process-blind, but it also couldn't connect... I had to change the ports on which SFS and the embedded DB are running on, and now it's working properly.

Is running multiple instances of SFS on the same machine frowned upon? We've been doing it for a short while, with them just set to different ports. It is kind of necessary so we can test out changes while others keep working with the existing setup.

But I noticed the warning in the logs today (the server starts, but it says H2 doesn't). I could not find 9009 in any of our config files; is it hard-coded somewhere, or can we change it?

Hi, I'd like to run multiple servers on the same machine (for development). I've modified the port for each SFS config.xml, but there is a Bind conflict on port 9009 - the H2 engines. Can that be altered as well?

Posted: **02 Nov 2009, 14:09**

Sure, by adding the <H2EnginePort>XXX</H2EnginePort> to the config, under the ServerSetup node, wherer XXX is your new port value.

Excellent. Thanks Lapo

Hmm 1.6.9 doesnt support * as ip.

<ServerIP>127.0.0.1/or your lan ip</ServerIP>

Posted: **15 Dec 2009, 12:18**

From my experience, it does but only on linux servers.

u007
Please provide more details about the problem.
Also please note that no 1.6.9 version exists. Version 1.6.8 is the very last.
