It seems another process uses the port 2003.

Yes, there is already an eggdrop listening on this port:

$ nc eglide.org 2003

If it's yours, you've to provide a different port for each of them.

The idea is the machine has 65535 ports to allow more than one application to listen to network.

Each app has one or several ports.

The message you got is the generic one when an app already uses this port. Sometimes it's another app, sometimes it's the same already launched.

(currently, the port doesn't answer anymore, you perhaps closed the old egg instance?)

Hi Mr. Dereckson,

Yes, I am running the eggdrop.

Also
what listen-addr and vhost4 address/ip should I specify?

I am only running one eggdrop on the server.

And it is using the 2003 port.

Helped on IRC, works fine now. :)
