but i check the network port, the 5001 is not used.

@yishuiliunian could you also paste the output of ipfs version --all?

@yishuiliunian thanks. Can you also check with running lsof with sudo? Might be some process that is listening that you don't own.

[tyvdh]

I'm getting this as well.

$ sudo lsof -i tcp:5001
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
ipfs    2109 root   11u  IPv4  62213      0t0  TCP localhost:5001 (LISTEN)

I used ipfs shutdown which then returns nothing for sudo lsof -i tcp:5001 however when I try and start back up the daemon it catches on the port error again.

Error: serveHTTPApi: manet.Listen(/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001) failed: listen tcp4 127.0.0.1:5001: bind: address already in use

ftr I'm using https://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/v0.4.15/go-ipfs_v0.4.15_linux-arm.tar.gz with my Raspberry Pi B+

@tyvdh can you try running the daemon with IPFS_REUSEPORT=false ipfs daemon? (reboot might be needed)

[tyvdh]

@magik6k Definitely seems to be working better!

[Stebalien]

That should have absolutely nothing to do with this issue... Could you try running without the IPFS_REUSEPORT again (just to make sure)?

[singhswg]

@tyvdh Were you able to resolve this? Apparently IPFS_REUSEPORT=false ipfs daemon didnt work for me. And I am doing this on Azure VM. Any pointers?

[magik6k]

@singhswg what's the exact error message you're getting?

[singhswg]

@magik6k I am trying to run a IPFS deamon on a Azure VM, and I get this error

Error: serveHTTPApi: manet.Listen(/ip4/<---IP--->/tcp/5001) failed: listen tcp4 <---IP--->:5001: bind: cannot assign requested address

Nothing is running on this port, I confirmed doing lsof -i tcp:5001 as root. I am using a static Azure IP.

[magik6k]

@singhswg Can you confirm that the address you are trying to assign actually exists on the machine (check ip addr)?

Btw, exposing unfiltered :5001 to the internet is probably a bad idea since it's the admin port which allows you to execute every command you can with the ipfs [...]

[singhswg]

@magik6k Yes i am aware but thanks for the heads up!

No I cant see the IP, neither does ping work. I guess maybe it's something with Azure VMs...

[Stebalien]

Check the Addresses.API config option. It looks like your machine's IP may not match it.

I'm going to close this for now as I don't think there's anything we can do on our side. Feel free to ask follow up questions or reopen this issue if you feel otherwise.
