Spooler is down after troubleshooting.

The problem is the default port is in use

spooler: sockServer: requested port 48001 is already in use

Manually edit the robot.cfg and specific ports

it doesn't have to be these port #s but for example:

controller_port = 48010                   
spooler_port = 480011     
first_probe_port = 48012   

Also it may be necessary to set these two to 'no'

strict_ip_binding=no     
local_ip_validation=no

Hi David, thanks for the help.

Whereas I have made the following changes on the server.

-spooler_port = 48001     
 first_probe_port = 48004

- strict_ip_binding=no     
local_ip_validation=no

Still spooler is unable to pic the port, same error is spooler log.

Please suggest further.

48001 is the default and the one already in use, if you want it to work you have to specify a port that is open.

We had the same issue but on a Redhat Linux Server - another application had stolen the port - doing this fix worked - but killing the application that stole the port in the first place put things back to how they should be.
