Port & txAdmin: Two different txAdmin processes

Hello everybody,
I really don’t know what to do regarding this issue and would really apreciate if someone could help me.

I tried to update my linux fxserver artifacts from 5104 to 5180 and must have messed something up, since now txAdmin tells me the Port 30120 is already in use.

Things I tried:

  • restarted FiveM server via txAdmin
  • restarted VPS
  • checked port status online (open)
  • changed to different port (txAdmin and server)
  • downgraded to old artifacts version

As I tried to open txAdmin Ingame and saw that apparently two different txAdmin processes are running? I also realized that the console Ingame look like it should but the console on the webbrowser didn’t. Do I have to stop one Process to resolve the issue and how do I do that?

What the console in the webbrowser told me:

[ citizen-server-impl] Started resource monitor
[      net-tcp-server] Listening on socket failed - libuv error EADDRINUSE.
[      net-tcp-server] error on connection: address already in use
Could not bind on 0.0.0.0:30120 - is this address valid and not already in use?
> quit "Server restarting (crash detected)."

My assumption is that I have to different servers running at the same time, but not even restarting the VPS solves it so I am stuck on this one.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Edit: I noticed that this error only occures from time to time as I restart the server… strange

I realized that I have made a crontab a few weeks ago to start the server automatically once I start my VPS. So just deleted the lines I added in crontab with crontab -e. Then I restarted my VPS and voilá it worked.

Feel kinda stupid now haha
