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.

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.
