Port Availability

xplex needs to listen on ports 80 (HTTP) & 1935 (RTMP) to serve the web dashboard & accept RTMP streams. So, you should ensure that these ports are available & not being used by other services.

Check ports availability

netstat -tuln | grep -E ':80|:1935'

If it returns some output similar to this:

Output if ports are busy

user@host:~# netstat -tuln | grep -E ':80|:1935'
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1935            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::1935                 :::*                    LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN

Then that means the ports are in use by some other process. You should investigate further to find out which service is using the ports & decide whether to stop/disable it. In such cases it’s better to use a fresh host system than punching holes in an existing setup.

But if it returns no output , then the ports are available & not being used by other services. 🎉
