connecting second node

Question

this is what i get:  xmart@coin:~/.multichain$ multichaind natural_coin@ip:port

MultiChain Core Daemon build 1.0 alpha 26 protocol 10006

Chain natural_coin already exists, adding ip:port to list of peers

Error: An error occurred while setting up the RPC address 127.0.0.1 port port for listening: bind: Address already in use
Error: Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:8375 on this computer. MultiChain Core is probably already running.
Error: Failed to listen on any port. Use -listen=0 if you want this.

Answer 1

You have another instance of MultiChain running already on the same server, for the same blockchain, and both would be trying to listen on the same networking port, which is not possible. If you want to run two instances for one blockchain on one server, you need to use the -rpcport and -port command-line settings on one instance, to use different values from the defaults.
