[mythtv-users] help..mythbackend.."failed to bind port"

[Nada De nada]

Hi
 
 Thanks for the information. I run the "netstat -l -n
| grep 6543" to see if something else was using the
port and I got this message

tcp   0    0 0.0.0.0:6543     0.0.0.0:*     LISTEN

 does that mean that the port is being unused. If so..
what do you think I need to do to make it work becusae
I am still getting the same error in the backend

 Thanks


 Peter
