Hello All
I installed a ADSB decode program (using a rtl-sdr receiver) called dump1090 on my Toshiba Satellite C650
running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
When I run it in "--interactive", it receives and decodes data on the terminal ok.
But when I run the "--net" command. I get this error.
"error opening the listening port 8080 (HTTP server): bind: Address already in use"
I suspect this is a linux issue. Unfortunately I am a bit awkward using linux.
Any help or insight would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
 


Hmm...

What's the output of:

Code:
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :8080
 
check the pid of the process that is using port 8080. To do this run:

Code:
lsof -w -n -i tcp:8080

Thanks for your reply.
When I run your command, I get this response.
"tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1784/lighttpd "

Thank you for your reply.
When I run your command, it returns a blank or no messages or response.
 
have you tried and change the port from 8080 to 8081 and see if that works
Code:
--net-http-port 8081
for its web server functions If dump1090 now starts OK, then that virtually confirms that something else is already using port 8080 - problem is nothing is currently showing up

Hello Lord Boltar
Thank you for the quick reply.
Yes if I use the command to change from the default 8080 port, it runs fine.
Apparently to view the data on the web browser I just link to
http://127.0.0.1:8080. I changed it to http://127.0.0.1:8081. Unfortunately it had a problem loading the page because it couldn't connect to the server address
 
Please forgive me as there is some information I should have included.
Previously I have downloaded a snap called ADSB-box. Once downloaded and after searching the web, I could not find any information on how to run it, so I just gave up on it. It is still installed. Playing around with web browser I entered http://127.0.0.0:8080 and a "adsb box Snap" window came up with a PiAwar/SkyAware flight tracker map. Hmmm It would be nice to find some info on adsb-box or maybe I should remove it. Yikes
Thanks in advance

Yepper sounds like a plan - need to remove one or the other

Thanks again.
Yea I went ahead and removed asdb-box. it seems too complicated to figure out (for me anyways)
Dump1090 now runs with the default 8080 web address.
( no errors displayed and it is decoding data on the terminal)
From what I understand dump1090 will display a google map with the flight data, once it is connected to the browser
Unfortunately the web browser still opens the PiAwar/SkyAware flight tracker map when connecting to http//127.0.0.1:8080. Dagnabit
Thanks for any help
Cheers
 
Update: Whoo-hoo Success
I cleared the the browser history and it now works as expected.
Thank you all for the suggestions and help.
Best regards.
