    Congratulations, you have an error i have never seen before. Its likely not related to the tutorial by the way.

    So it seems like you have an application already running on port 27015. Thank you for that information. You might want to fix that by the way(or tell us what application it is), as you probably cannot use the sandbox or bot training either.

    I'll PM you more instructions

    Edit: Could you run the command netstat -b -n -a on your computer? It should give you the details about what application uses what port. Can you find the one using 27015?

    Just a small update. It turns out he was running a TF2 server on the same machine that used the same port. Its all fixed now :)
