Socket error in linux but not in Windows

[ironphil]

Hi, I am making a simple webserver with weblaz and it works ok in Windows but in linux the program stops right away. If I execute it from the command line I get the following message:

Exception at 0000000000499478: ESocketError:
Binding of socket failed: 8080.

I am not used to socket programming and errors. What does that mean and how can I fix it?

It looks like some other service is already listening on port 8080. Change the port in your application or stop the service that is already listening on this port.

Thanks, there was indeed a problem with the port. Then I could get one step further and there was also a problem with the threads. Apparently in linux I need to use cthreads. It works now, thanks.
