[Mr-Dave]

This is caused by having the port in use by something else. ...or by trying to run two versions of Motion at the same time on the same port.

Reboot and try again. Double check that Motion is not running two instances via "top" application, and/or disable Motion being started as a service via systemctl disable motion

Yes, there was another instance of motion running. Thank you.
