Address Already in Use Error

[dreh65]

NZBHydra2, any version, 4.7.6, 6.21, 7.4 all start but get to a point where an error, "Address already in use" happens. Then NZBHydra just cycles thru a restart. Any hints how to fix this? I've download new zips but doesn't seem to help. I'm macOS Sonoma using the Generic version.

The port 5076 is already used by another program on your machine. Doesn't matter what hydra version you use.

Either free up the port or open data/nzbhydra.yml, search for 5076 and change to 5077 or whatever you like. Save, start hydra.
