Solved 2 IPS same ports and 2 TFS servers

[HalfAway]

Hey, I just ran into a "smaller" problem while trying to host 2 TFS on same machine with diffrent ips but same ports.
Have never been working with network interfaces so I'm noob at this, also googled but I couldn't manage to make it work.

OS: Ubuntu
IP #1: 37.XX.XX.XX
IP #2: 94.XX.XX.XX
TFS 1.0

I'm pretty sure I need to edit network interfaces so here is the result of my edit.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 37.XX.XX.XX
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 37.XX.XX.0
broadcast 37.XX.XX.255
gateway 37.XX.XX.254

auto eth0:2
iface eth0:2 inet static
address 94.XX.XX.XX
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 37.XX.XX.255
network 37.XX.XX.0
gateway 37.XX.XX.254

With the network interface above I get this error:

RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Failed to bring up eth0:2.

I got both servers open and I can connect perfectly to TFS#1 (37.XX.XX.XX) and when I try to connect to TFS #2 (94.XX.XX.XX) I connect to TFS #1.

Anyone knows how to setup 2 diffrent IPs to work with same ports.
If you help me solve this, I'll pay you.

Thanks in advance,
HalfAway

in your config.lua change this for true/yes:

bindOnlyGlobalAddress = "no"

Oh sorry I forgot to write that, I got that in both configs.

TFS #1

ip = "37.XX.XX.XX"
bindOnlyGlobalAddress = "yes"
loginProtocolPort = 7171
gameProtocolPort = 7172
statusProtocolPort = 7171

TFS #2

ip = "94.XX.XX.XX"
bindOnlyGlobalAddress = "yes"
loginProtocolPort = 7171
gameProtocolPort = 7172
statusProtocolPort = 7171

Instead of running everything from one OS, get KVM or OVZ and assign the failovers to the VMs/Containers. I use proxmox to make managing easier. I dont know if you are using an OVH server(I am so this may not apply to you)but this guide is very useful: http://help.ovh.co.uk/BridgeClient

Let me know if you need help with this stuff.

Actually I'm using OVH, I'll look that up, thanks!

Install Proxmox from the manager and use KVM(easier to work with the networks of KVM imo) or install CentOS and OpenVZ and use containers.

Much better organization this way(you might need to get another ip though)

you don't use 7172 ,use 7173
