[ERROR] [main] Failed to bind to any network interfaces, errno=98

[jens-ylja]

When stopping a ticktock instance and (re-)starting it a short time later - e.g. stop, run backup, re-start - the instance cannot bind to the socket ports. Within the logs one can see e.g.

[INFO] [main] Starting TCP Server on ports 5000... ... [ERROR] [main] Failed to bind to any network interfaces, errno=98

Errno 98 means address in use.

This happens in ./core/tcp.cpp when calling bind(). I assume it's due the socket ports are in TIME_WAIT state and SO_REUSEADDR isn't given.

Current workaround is to wait until the TIME_WAIT state is gone (~60s on Linux) before re-starting the instance.

Try starting TickTockDB with the "-r" option.

Please try to use /admin/stop.sh and wait for "shutdown complete" message. If the problem persists, you can use kill -9 <ticktock id> to work around it.

Using the -r option did the job. Thanks a lot.
