This error will occur when a particular port is already open. It is only possible to have a single process bound to a particular port at any one time. By default Kiwi Syslog Server listens on port 514, so there must be another application or service running that is currently using this particular port to listen on.You will need to identify what process that is.

1. We recommend you use Windows | Start | Run command => netstat -aon

This will identify the process identifier number of the process which is bound to 514.

2. Then in your Task Manager, ensure you have set your Options | Select Columns to include PID, and see which process that relates to.

3. End the process/s and restart Kiwi Syslog Server.

Alternatively, we suggest you run a program called Fport from the DOS prompt. This program shows you which ports are currently open and which programs they are bound to.

To download a copy of Fport.

You will need to close down any other application or service that is listening on the port you are wanting to use. You should then restart Kiwi Syslog Server and find that it can bind correctly to that port.
