Description

tracd outputs a non-friendly error message when a port it is trying to bind is busy.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\~env\Python27\lib\runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main

    return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

This can be improved to output something like Error starting Trac server on port %s. It may even attempt to connect to detect if there is an existing service already and it is not Trac. And output something like Some application is already running on that port.

I wouldn't go as far as connecting and seeing what's running there, but a better error message would be nice indeed.

This patch prints out the error message but also needs to stop the server, sys.exit(1) doesn't seem to work.

Your patch works great. The reason it doesn't exit correctly is an interference with the auto-reload mechanism, if you use it (it exits fine if you don't use auto-reload). I have a fix for that.

comment:5 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Patch applied in [10316], together with a fix to the auto-reload mechanism so that it exists correctly when the server quits.
