Hi
I got the plexconnect app to work on a laptop running mountain lion, but on my imac the port :80 is taken by a httpd process which reload every time i stop it. Anybody got an idea to what this could be?? I have stopped sharing(file and printer sharing was running, and i would very much like it to be running later). if I :sudo lsof -i :80
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
httpd 3350 root 5u IPv6 0xb98eb00ac0762b6f 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
httpd 3351 _www 5u IPv6 0xb98eb00ac0762b6f 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN)
Does anabody know these processes and how to deal with them
Thanks in advance

You have an Apache (httpd) web server running on your machine already.
You have the option of either:
- disabling it (easier and see Google for how to)
- configuring PlexConnect to use Apache instead of its own web server (harder but you can see the sticky on OSX server for details of how to configure it)

Do you have a web service running on port 80?

Thanks a lot. I looked for apache but could´t find it anywhere so I thought it was not the issue. At one point the processes stopped and I could get plexconnect to work. I will be looking for apache and see what I can do.

Hi,
A similar problem for me - PlexConnect can't start as the DNS Server is encountering a conflict on port 53, but with Python :
mediamacpro:PlexConnect XXX$ sudo lsof -i :53
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
Python 38205 root 4u IPv4 0x0a3ba458 0t0 UDP *:domain
I've tried googling the obvious - change the port python runs on - but have found it a bit of a mystery.
Could I prevail on the group to assist? Is this a ridiculously easy problem to solve? Thanks!
EDIT:
Updated with more details, as per template (apols, noob error)

I believe you will be asked to provide more details using the template in the “Read Before Posting” thread that is pinned at the top of this forum.

I would reboot your machine as it may be that you ran PlexConect before, did not shut it down cleanly and so the DNS server part may still be running.
