Releasing a port in Debian? by MatthewDBA 2006-11-19 12:55:59
I have Webmin installed on a remote server and I'm trying to upgrade it to the latest version. I unzipped and de-tarred the download file to get the directory and run the setup script. Among other things, it asked me for the port for the service to listen to - I picked 10000, the default. This was also the port that my previous version (uninstalled by this point) had listened to. The script returned an error at this point, saying that another program was already using that port. But I had already uninstalled the program (the previous version of Webmin) that was using that port.

Do I need to just reboot the computer to let it figure out that nothing's listening on that port? (I have an SSH connection I can use as well) Do I need to do something else in addition / instead?
