cntlm: Cannot bind port ******: Address already in use!

[Florian Kammermann]

I can't get cntlm to bind a port.

My setup:
- Windows 7
- cntlm 0.92.3

The command to start cntlm:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cntlm>cntlm -T cntlm-ok.log -v -f -s

What I tried:
- start as admin
- start as normal user
- start on different ports (from 3000 to 50000)
- I checked everytime if the port is free

The answer is everytime the same:

cntlm: Cannot bind port *: Address already in use!
cntlm: No proxy service ports were successfully opened.
Exitting with error. Check daemon logs or run with -v.
section: global, Username = 'xxxxxx'
section: global, Domain = 'xxxxx'
section: global, Password = 'xxxxxx'
section: global, Workstation = 'xxxxxx'
section: global, Proxy = 'proxy:3128'
section: global, Proxy = 'proxy:3128'
section: global, NoProxy = 'localhost, 127.0.0., 10., 192.168.'
section: global, Listen = '32189'
section: global, Header = 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0'

Solved the problem.

It wasn't really a problem, it was a misinterpretation.
The problem was that the service was running in the background, and I couldn't see it over task list and I also couldn't see the bound port over netstat.

So the message:
cntlm: Cannot bind port *: Address already in use!
Was right.

Stop the cntlm under windows with:
net stop cntlm

After that you can start it again with
cntlm.exe -v
