That error is saying that something else is running on port 6112 (which is what the login server uses).

You need to kill whatever is running on port 6112. It’s most likely that you’ve ran the login server already and didn’t terminate the original process for whatever reason i.e. you closed the putty session but did not kill the login server properly.

Try executing: `killall python` and then re-run Houdini.

Looks like an issue with your bcrypt hashed password. Are you using a register? If so, which one?

Could you check in your database if the passwords are being stored as bcrypt hashes?

The last time I saw an error like this was when the passwords were being stored in plain-text.

Are you definitely using the AS3 version of the register too? What salt is used in /ajax/encryption.php ?
