[erlang-questions] Starting an echo web server from (bash) shell!

[zabrane Mikael]

Hi Ahmed,

Following your suggestion, I removed the "catch" and print out the error with:
io:format("Accept failed with error: ~p~n", [Error]).

I got:
Accept failed with error: closed

These are my socket options:
-define(SOCK_TCP_PORT, 8888).
-define(SOCK_TCP_OPTS, [binary,
                   {nodelay,   true},
                   {active,    false},
                   {packet,    http_bin},
                   {reuseaddr, true}]).

Hope this help.
