I just installed Eden beta 1 and when I try to activate control via http it says "webserver failed to start"... I've tried restarting the computer, reloading stuff and gah! I use http to control with xbmc commander, it can't connect otherwise :-(
With the previous version everything was kick-ass and worked super duper. Does anyone else have this problem? Solution suggestion?

check your settings in xbmc, if all is ok then i'd post a debug log.
if it used to be ok, have you changed anything firewall etc...

Check your port that is set in XBMC. I was having the same problem, I changed the port from 80 to 8082 and then enabled the web server with no problem. It might the firewall blocking the port.

I apologize for resurrecting an old thread, but can someone offer instructions on how, exactly, to change the port used by the webserver? To be honest, I don't even recall installing it or activating it, so if anything it's been a long time since I did anything in the way of configuring it.
Thank you.

Settings > Network > Services. About halfway down the port is listed. I think it's 8080 by default.

I have the same problem. When I run xbmc the first time, it works, but if I exit and then restart it, the webserver fails to start. If I then exit xbmc, and then run "killall -9 xbmc.bin", and restart, it works again for that run. So what's happening is the web server is not exiting when the GUI is exited. A process is still running, holding ownership of the web server port.
Ubuntu 12.04, xbmc 2:11.0~git20120423.cd20772-1
I will file a report on Launchpad also, unless one has already been filed.
