zmx10 Can't Bind: Address already in use

I'm working a new install of Zoneminder 1.23.3 on Ubuntu 9.04. It is up working with my Airlink101 AIC250 camera and set to Modect.

However, I want to change it to trigger on my X10 motion sensor. I set up the x10 in the Options and trigger in the monitor General tab. From the forum discussions, I think I have it set up properly.

x10 isn't triggering any events.

Running zmx10.pl from the command line works correctly. It picks up the x10 motion detection and the event is logged in zmx10.log. It also works at the command line.

This is from my zmdc.log:

07/11/09 11:38:54.053830 zmdc[8974].INF ['zmx10.pl -c start' starting at 09/07/11 11:38:54, pid = 9761]
07/11/09 11:38:54.536701 zmdc[8974].ERR ['zmx10.pl -c start' exited abnormally, exit status 9]

This is from my zmx10.log

07/11/09 11:38:54.523217 zmx10[9761].INF [X10 server starting]
07/11/09 11:38:54.524065 zmx10[9761].FAT [Can't bind: Address already in use]

What is "exit status 9" ? What is "Can't bind: Address already in use"?

Thanks much.

bump - more info?

I must of missed some information for someone to digest. Where can I get some more info to post? Can someone point me in a direction to narrow the search?

I bought "Learning Perl" years ago, but didn't get past the introduction, so I'm a Perl newbie.

Thanks much.

Just means that some other process is using the com port.
