Most Pixels Ever jarfile and zoinks! errors?
May 11th, 2009, 8:33pm
 
just started with MPE tutorial http://code.google.com/p/mostpixelsever/wiki/ProcessingTutorial and get error "Unable to access jarfile mpeServer.jar," what does this mean exactly?  folder is on desktop.  when i put the folder (mpeServer) at root of hard drive, this error does not appear.  strangely, when i put the folder back on desktop, the error does not appear.  if it's a path issue, how could it give the error some times and not others?  

second, regardless of where the server app is, i get error:
Zoinks!java.net.BindException: Address already in use

what does this mean?  i don't see any reference to any IP or address in the ini file, what address is it talking about?

i'm on Mac OS 10.5.6.

Not too sure about the path, you are supposed to type the command line at the directory where the jar is. (can try also java -jar ./mpeServer.jar).

I see one:
Code:
# Server address (localhost for testing)
server=localhost;
# Server port
port=9002;

That's for the client, but maybe the server uses same settings. Check documentation.
