Try rebooting your computer, it looks like you have some other program running a server on the port 8080

The most likely thing is that you have anti-virus/firewall type software blocking calibre. As you say you had it working at one point, has anything changed in that area?

But seriously... have you tried another port? Perhaps you have another service already running on 8080? BOb |

Try port 8787 instead of 8080. Then what does it say?

Calibre & AVG: Failed to start content server: Port 8080 not free on '0.0.0.0'
THANK YOU!!! This is the fix. My instance of this problem began with install AVG Pro 8. I tried every tweek, and gaming mode, alll that, nothing worked. switching to port 8787 works with AVG. thanks for a solved issue.

Thanks for the 8787 tip. I've taken a few runs at that with Windows 7 Pro + AVG Free 9.0. This seems like such an easy fix; perhaps it can be added to the FAQ as an alternative?
Second point: I have added calibre.exe to have full private / public access through the Windows Firewall AND on my router, allowed HTTP incoming AND port forwarding 8787 to 80. So far so good -- another computer BEHIND the firewall has access using the 192.168.x.x:8787 and correctly grabs the calibre index. But I still can't figure out how to make a computer on the OUTSIDE of the router see 99.230.x.x:8787 which is the address of the machine running Calibre (according to: http://www.whatismyip.com/).
