Help me about socket port

[samuelsam]

My project must send data from server to client via socket which implement by tcp socket.Now it is working but there is a one big problem that when the server program end , I must run the server again immediately after it end but it can't run agian because of port didn't available. So have any solutions to make the port available.

this is mycode

    my_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;

        }
        fclose(fpt);
        }
        close(new_fd);
    }
    return 0;

In server side after terminating the connection with the client you should use shutdown() to terminate the connection from the server side.
If you use it then the port will be freed immediately.
