Meaningless error message: StartListening: Unable to bind socket - Address already in use

When a cups installation is restarted, cups issues the following error in the error log:

E [23/Mar/2004:18:50:56 +0200] StartListening: Unable to bind socket - Address already in use.

This error message is meaningless, as it does not indicate which IP address, or which port it was trying to bind to when the failure occurred. The particular installaation has two SSLListen lines, it is not clear which one is at fault.

Solution: The following error message should be issued:

StartListening: While binding to 127.0.0.1 port 631: Unable to bind socket - Address already in use.

The IP address is shown when the log level is set to "debug"; I will look at adding the IP address to the bind and listen error messages as well.

Updated to show the address and port for all errors.
