SSHD "Address already in use"

[ghost]

here's basically my issue, Termux SSHD says that port 8022 is already in use, how would I fix this?

this is what I get when i run "sshd -d"

bug1: sshd version OpenSSH_7.7, OpenSSL
1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017 debug1: private host
key #0: (Not showing this)
debug1: private host key #1: (Not showing this)
debug1: private host key #2: (Not showing this)
debug1:
rexec_argv[0]='/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sshd'
debug1: rexec_argv[1]='-d' debug1: Bind

debug1: Bind to port 8022 on 0.0.0.0.
Bind to port 8022 on 0.0.0.0 failed:
Address already in use.
Cannot bind any address.

And i am rooted so i cant change whatever i need to change

sshd is probably already running?

@Zach-15803 Check open ports with command netstat -tulpn.

turns out it was already running,

but even when adding the public key to the authorized list, it denies me access when I run

ssh {my ip} -p 8022
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).

Make sure that:

1. You don't messed up sshd settings on Termux
2. sshd is running as non-root user
3. File authorized_keys is created without typos in name
4. Each public key in placed on a new line. If you are using editor 'nano' to edit file contents, make sure
   that your nanorc has option set nowrap.
5. You have added a right key to authorized_keys.

If you still can't connect, I suggest you to try a dropbear instead of openssh.

I still couldnt connect, but now dropbear is saying its version of the exact same error as the firts post, Port 8022 is already in use, even after a Reinstall of termux

@DovaMerith We can't really tell what your doing wrong as you haven't even showed us what you have been doing. @xeffyr posted some excellent steps that would solve most problems.

Post your exact steps that, everything you've tried and their output if you want help.

This issue happens ocassionally and requires one of two things for me to fix it, the consecutive hardreboots of the phone (Power off, turn on, unlock, repeat) Or uninstalling and clearing my cache, along with a "Soft restart," and reinstalling, its annoying but ive managed to work around it, If need be i can post my phones freaking BugReport here
