Regarding urchin 5 installation. Error The specified port is not available

[Jay]

Hello,

I’m trying to migrate an urchin 5 installation from one server to
another. Without realizing I installed urchin 6 on the new server. I
removed the urchin 6 installation by deleting the directory from /usr/
local/urchin (By the way this is a redhat base linux distro system). I
un-tared urchin 5 and started the installation and when it asks for
port I selected the default which is 9999 and it’s giving me the
following error “The specified port is not available”. It sees like
somewhere in the system the urchin 6 installation is holding that port
and I can’t use it for the urchin 5 installation. I don’t have
anything else running on that port. If someone could please direct to
on how to fix this. I kindly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time and service.

I'm having the same issue attempting a clean install of urchin 5 on a
CentOS 5.2 system. Everything is fine until I reach the port selection
part and then no matter what port I choose it says "Specified port is
not available" There is nothing using any of the ports I've tried.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

i hacked the install.sh and removed the port check. I know the port i
chose is available, so make sure you do the same!

Around line 870 in install.sh:
# Verify the port is available

Remove everything up so it displays as follows:
else
# Verify the port is available
PORT=$portin
wflag=1
fi


The installer will then bypass the port check and continue
installation. Hope this helps!
