please make sure to use a different port for the database server for each SFS instance running on the same machine.
This setting:
Code: Select all
<H2EnginePort>9009</H2EnginePort>  
should be added in the main config.xml file. (under the root node)

9009 is the default value, any other value should work, like 9010, 9011 etc...

so it's not under the server setup node? i'll try it under the root thanks.

Please, try be more clear.
The last error message you posted indicated that there was a port conflict on TCP port 9009 which is the default.

If this is happening is because BOTH instances are trying to use that port.
Simply change the configuration of the second instance of the server to run on another port number, 9010 for example.

If you are still getting errors, please post them here

I am having problems with this

I'm using 1.6.5

and I put this in:

Code: Select all

<SmartFoxConfig>

        <ServerSetup>
                <H2EnginePort>9010</H2EnginePort>
                <ServerIP>*</ServerIP>
                <ServerPort>9340</ServerPort>

I get this error during startup...

Code: Select all

I am still having this issue even after making sure my config.xml was UTF-8. Does anyone have any ideas?
