"searchd" is showing "FATAL: bind() failed on 0.0.0.0: Address already in use"

Question

When I try the command searchd, it shows:

using config file '/usr/local/etc/sphinx.conf'...
WARNING: compat_sphinxql_magics=1 is deprecated; please update your application and config
listening on all interfaces, port=9312

FATAL: bind() failed on 0.0.0.0: Address already in use

and when I netstat -nlp, there already is searchd at that port.

• Conflict?
• What should I do?

Answer 1

and when i ~# netstat -nlp, there already is "searchd" at that port.

So if you already have searchd running, why are you trying to start another one?

If you really do want to run two instances (why?), then you should arrange for them to be on different ports - each instance will need a seperate config file.
