newbie - IOError: Port 8080 not free on 'localhost'

Hello,

I'm new to cherrypy and have a problem getting it to work.
I
downloaded cherrypy and installed it like described on
cherrypy.org.
But when I start python tut01_helloworld.py I get the
following error
message:

[18/Oct/2007:17:11:33] HTTP Port 8080 not free on
'localhost'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tut01_helloworld.py", line 32, in

    cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld(), config=tutconf)

python2.5/site-packages/cherrypy/_cpserver.py", line
250, in
wait_for_free_port
    raise IOError(msg)
IOError: Port 8080 not free on 'localhost'

So, I wonder what went wrong here. BTW I'm using MacOSX,
apache's
running and I'm working with a user account. I have already
switched
on and off all firewall apps but that didn't make any
change.
Can someone help me with configuring cherrypy? Where do I
set the port
the server looks at? Can I point the cherrypy server to a
specific
path, let's say to the ~/Sites/Cherrypy/ directory?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
johannes

That's what you want to read http://www.che

search for server.socket_port in the document if you want
avoid the
details for now ;)

Hey, Johannes -

Something else is running that is using port 8080 - looking
through the 
/etc/services file on my mac I see 'HTTP Alternate' there. 
You could 
tweak your mac's settings, but it would be easier to simply
tell CP to 
start on another port.  There's a few examples of how to do
this on the 
site.

Tom
