    as title states i get error Couldn't create server on port 28015 (Startup Error: 5)

    i have tried port 28015 and 29015 same error both times - only happens after i installed the oxide plugin

    here is my bat config:

    :START
    C:\steamCMD\steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\RustServer\ +app_update 258550 -beta experimental validate +quit
    RustDedicated -batchmode -nographics +server.ip serverip +rcon.ip serverip +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "password +server.maxplayers 20 +server.hostname "[US East]Jackals' Chaos" +server.identity "Jackals" +server.level "Procedural Map" +server.seed 2033078 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.saveinterval 300 +server.globalchat true +server.description

    @echo.
    @echo Restarting server...
    @echo.
    goto start

    i did check to see if there are multiple instances running of the rustdedi, but there isnt and i just fresh formatted this pc to be run as a server so the rust one is the only one i have running on it so there shouldnt be another service using the same port. Ports are forwarded through my modem and on my windows firewall - ran a portforward check and the ports are open to communicate. Had it running before i installed Oxide on it though, just didnt have rcon access for some reason

    The error is actually unrelated to Oxide, it doesn't control the networking or server itself. The error means you already have another server or program running on that port, else you are trying to bind to an IP that you can't bind to. From what I see in your .bat, you aren't setting a valid IP, If you are beind a router, it should be 0.0.0.0.

    yeah i just scrapped everything and started from scratch and had the same issue. Now do i actually put in the 0.0.0.0 or do i use a localhost ip thats 192.168 or the 127.0 ip? running the 0.0.0.0 now to see if it works though thanks
    [DOUBLEPOST=1454895187][/DOUBLEPOST]that worked like a charm, but now the server does not populate onto the server list on rust and i cant connect via the servers' public ip
    [DOUBLEPOST=1454898002][/DOUBLEPOST]update: worked for a bit with 0.0.0.0 and then it wasnt showing - turns out somehow my forwarding settings changed in my router so i corrected them. Then the same error came up. removed oxide and then it started up and works as normal...just that the full server name doesnt display. I use [US East] Jackals Chaos and only [US shows up
    [DOUBLEPOST=1454918854,1454892767][/DOUBLEPOST]Mark this as solved - facepalmed myself when installing Oxide. Had steamcmd overwrite the oxide files every time i launched the server. Got everything to work - thank you for the help. Even got Hunt RPG plugin running successfully :p
