Troubleshooting

1. The port is already taken - check for other servers running on the current machine, for example port 80 is by default blocked by Apache on Debian
2. Cannot start because port opening is prohibited - check & update your system's security settings, its security protocols maybe blocking some applications from opening TCP server ( socket connections )
3. Bugs - report any bugs to our email address or to the Issues section'
