You have something listening on port 20207

Code:

tcp4 0 0 *.20207 *.* LISTEN

This application prevents vray standalone to start as a server. You should find it and stop it.
You can see which process has opened the port with "lsof -i -P | grep 202" (I've tried this on 10.6.x and 10.5.x).

Great! I feel we are almost there. the app that was hogging the port was DropBox. I shut it down, but the stand alone still wont start. I still get the same error.

[2011/Apr/20|07:50:43] error: Failed to start network server: Failed to open listening port (4

[2011/Apr/20|07:50:43] Exiting server mode.
[2011/Apr/20|07:50:43] Closing log - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s).

So what is listening port (48 ) and how do I find out what is clogging it up?

Again thanks This stuff is way over my head. so your patience is much appreciated.

**t.petrov** · 20-04-2011, 07:57 AM

Can you paste the output of "lsof -i -P | grep 202" just before you start the vray standalone?

48 is the error returned by the OS, in your case it is EADDRINUSE.

And if you don't use grep, the command is "lsof -i -P"?

Do you have a line like "tcp4 0 0 *.20207 *.* LISTEN" in the output of "netstat -an | grep 202", just before you execute VRay standalone?

**bradjhayes** · 20-04-2011, 08:17 AM

Yes

Argh, my mistake, you need to use "sudo lsof -i -P | grep 202", because "lsof -i -P" prints only the ports for the current user.

**bradjhayes** · 20-04-2011, 08:32 AM

no worries, here is the output of "sudo lsof -i -P | grep 202"

Hm, seem the vrayslave has been registered as service/daemon, and it is running, but for some reason maya doesn't try to connect to it, but starts another instance.
Can you try to reinstall and when the installer asks you if you want to register the VRaySlave daemon, to say no?
Another option is to kill the vray.exe using the activity monitor.

**bradjhayes** · 21-04-2011, 10:38 PM

sorry that took me a day... but it worked... Since we found that DropBox was using the same port I shut it down before I did the reinstall, I don't know if that was the trick, but it works great now. Thank you so much for your help.
