[Dxspider-support] Help: Could not create socket: Address already in use

[David Humble]

Ubuntu-server 7.10
perl v5.8.8

I've had to install a new OS, after a hard drive died.  I've 
reinstalled the latest DXSpider.  Configured as before, listening on 
port 7300.  Following the installation manual, testing the telnet 
('Starting up for the first time') connection worked.

However.  Further attempts to start spider again, even after 
rebooting the system, result in:-

DXSpider V1.54, build 0.192 started

IO::Socket::INET: Address already in use
Could not create socket: Address already in use

called at ./cluster.pl line 405
Could not create socket: Address already in use


Any pointer please?

Second question.  Anyone else using Ubuntu, tell me how they 
successfully set up respawning of Spider?
