| Summary | 0011330: Annoying `bind` error | ||||
| Description | This "ERROR" appears since quite some time: can we get rid of it a/o make it a warning, solve this? It doesn't (seem) to affect operation in any way. Seen both in stage & prod, running taler-merchant v1.5.15 (and also way before already, at least in all v1.4.x versions I can remember). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Just install taler-merchant and run it on a Debian GNU/Linux sys. | ||||

| Lowering prio, esp. if this takes some work: not. so. important. now. :) | |
| Eh, that's a sysadmin issue. You're somehow starting the process wrong, possibly while still running an old version of the backend that is already bound to the port. | |
| Note: if this happens, you are likely running the old/outdated version of the process, and/or have some other major configuration issue, so stop the service, make sure NOTHING is running anymore, and then re-start properly. | |
| Uhm, OK: will check. | |
| Fixed meanwhile. | |
