Re: ShareMe - directory sharing for dummies

I decided to use ShareMe again after quite a long break away so I downloaded version 1.0.2 from AUR. Unfortunately it fails when I try and run it:

$ shareme -d /home/user/tmp/
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/shareme/shareme.py", line 48, in <module>
    server = server.ShareMeServer(user=options.user, password=options.password, directory=options.directory, port=options.port)
  File "/usr/share/shareme/server.py", line 56, in __init__
    self.ftpd = ftpserver.FTPServer(address, self.ftp_handler)
  File "/usr/share/shareme/pyftpdlib/ftpserver.py", line 2991, in __init__
    raise socket.error, msg
socket.error: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address

I tried using the newer pyftpdlib which is in the AUR, but same problem persists.

Any ideas how to fix this, anyone?!

PS: I've also got a slow DNS lookups problem at the moment - I've already checked the DNS servers and prohibited ipv6 modules from loading. Could these problems be related in some way?

It seems that another process is listening on port 1987 (the default for ShareMe). You can check it out with:

sudo netstat -panl | grep 1987

Thanks for replying, but the command you suggested produces no output at all. Seems that port 1987 isn't in conflict.
