Failed to start zone listener

[loglos]

I am trying to get the emu (with minilogin) running on a vista box. It's running fine on win2k. I am keeping the db on win2k and the vista box is connecting to the db just fine. It loads the items, defaults, npcs etc. It finally gets to starting the zone listener and crashed with the error below.

Anyone ever run into this? I thought it was probably firewall but minlogin is running fine. I disabled the firewall anyway but no luck, same error. This is driving me nuts.

[Debug] [WORLD__INIT] Loaded default rule set 'default'

[Debug] [WORLD__INIT_ERR] Failed to start zone (TCP) listener on port 9000:

The log files don't offer any additional info over this.

You may want to check this section of your config on the vista box, and compare it to the win2k box.

<!-- Server status. Default is unlocked -->
<!--<locked/>-->
<!-- <unlocked/> -->
<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections. Both zones and console (if enabled). Defaults are shown -->
<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>
<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. Defaults are shown -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />

I belive its a port conflict.

It was a port conflict. Thanks for pointing that out. My vista box is also my dev box and I run oracle, postgres, ingres, etc. One of the management servers uses 9000-9008 for it's web services. I shut down the service and now it runs fine. Those are the defaults but I can change them for long term happiness.

Thank you.
