Error starting Cryptobox: Port not free

[SeanKilleen@…]

Hello all,

Love the idea of the product but am having issues installing.

For the record, I'm a beginner with Linux, so I might be missing something obvious or might need to provide you with more detail; just ask.

Installed on Ubuntu Jaunty via the FAQ at http://devel.cryptobox.org/wiki/faq#HowdoIusetheserverpackagefromtheDebianrepository and got it to work after installing python 2.5 and directing CryptoBox to use 2.5 instead of 2.6.

However, when running "/etc/init.d/cryptobox-server start" I receive the error:

 * Starting CryptoBox Daemon (webinterface)                              [ OK ] 
root@Lakota:~# Failed to start CryptoBox: Port not free.

In the webserver.log file, I see:

  HTTP INFO Port 8080 not free on 'localhost'

netstat listen reveals:

root@Lakota:~# netstat -an | grep "LISTEN "
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp6       0      0 ::1:631                 :::*                    LISTEN     

It's a fresh install of Ubuntu; only other thing I did was software updates and install the CryptoNAS package.

Any information or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. E-mail is in my username. Thanks in advance.

Update:

I have since found /etc/default/cryptobox-server file, and edited to a random port (8350) that I know will not be currently listened on.

After doing that, I receive a bunch of output, the result being:

validate.VdtValueError: the value "/usr/share/cryptobox-server/template (not found)" is unacceptable.

I notice that there is a folder named "templates" but none named "template", so I copy the contents of the templates folder into a new folder called "template" that I created.

Upon doing this, I receive the same error (port not free) that I'd received before.

Will keep looking around and updating with what I can find. Thanks for any help.

Latest update:

after a restart, netstat -an | grep -i listen reveals:

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8350            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp6       0      0 ::1:631                 :::*                    LISTEN     

so it does appear that the cryptonas server is listening on my new port (8350) as defined in /etc/default/cryptobox-server.

So, how the heck do I get to it now? when going to http://localhost:8350, I receive a 404 error "path '/' was not found" and says it's powered by CherryPy? 2.3.0. I receive the same screen when going to my internal ip (192.168.1.3) from a browser on this PC and another PC.
