Dogecoin daemon bind error

Question

I wanted to install a dogecoin client on Debian and compiled myself. After starting it it stoped saying

Error: An error occured while setting up the RPC port 22555 for listening:  bind: Cannot assign requested address

I am sure that there is no other program using this port and IPv6 also works fine which I tested on my Apache server.

Hopefully you have an idea how to solve this.

Even though the answers are similar the problems are not. In my case the daemon could not even start because of a bind error. I came across the other thread and tried it and it worked, therefore, I added my solution here. — henje, Jan 30, 2014 at 0:39

I solved it somehow, even though I am not sure why this solved it. I added the following line to the config:

rpcallowip=0.0.0.0
