I am running TM on a MacBook Air M2 2022 running Ventura 13.4. Every time I try to create a new tournament, it tells me Port in Use. I have disabled Airplay Receiver and rebooted, but it is still giving me an error. My laptop is a managed device by my school district, so I am limited in what settings I can modify.
You can check which process is using a port by doing:
sudo lsof -i :80
If there’s nothing using that port, it won’t show anything. If there is, it would show what application would be using it. For instance, if I want to see what is using port 22, I can do:
Thank you! When I checked on both ports (80 and 5443) it displayed nothing, so I am stumped as to what is causing the issue. I emailed the developer, but have not received a response.
Not the answer you’re looking for now…but perhaps something to consider for the future if you host lots of events:
We use a stand-alone T/M workstation packed into a roll-around ATA Case, part of our “event trailer” setup. All the equipment, including a dedicated windows laptop (windows seem to play nicer with T/M software than Mac), is included in the case or attached to the field monitors, and everything stays connected up, other than plugging in a few network cables.

Hi. I had this issue today. Here is the solution…
But first, an explanation. Since macos Monterey (12), Apple is using (by default) port 5000 for Airplay Receiver (that’s the TCP port Vex said TM uses. To turn off, go to System Preferences, search for “Airplay Receiver” and disable. Try to create a Tournament again and vĂola.
