RPC server failed to bind TCP localhost:5279

jcalfee commented 5 years ago

The LBRY default port 5278 is available on my computer. But I'm still getting an RPC error. I have disabled the ufw (firewall) and I can temporarily bind to this port using another probram..

$ netstat -a|egrep 5278
$ http-server -p 5278
Starting up http-server, serving ./
Available on:
  http://127.0.0.1:5278
  http://192.168.1.24:5278
  http://10.8.4.6:5278
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

It looks like it can bind this port but errors later when it tries to make RPC connections to that port. In my http test above I can load that folder using http://127.0.0.1:5278 so don't think it is blocked after binding.

The Issue

Hey @jcalfee , sorry to hear about the trouble. The 5278 port is for our sanbox mode to support certain apps like @OpenSourceGames.

The SDK itself binds on 5279 - RPC server failed to bind TCP localhost:5279. Can you see if anything is blocking that? Please reference this issue on the SDK side if you think it's related to IPV6: https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk/issues/2234

Shoot us an email at help@lbry.com if you continue to have issues.

I have a VPN script that disables IPv6. I have to stop the VPN until I find a work-around. Unless of course I can find a IPv6 VPN provider (I'm still looking for one of those)..
