I am using a server startup command that includes -port 27017 (I also tried +port 27017), but it always starts on port 27018 instead. Nothing else is running on 27017. How can I set it to run on 27017 instead?

Put in server.cfg instead use: hostport 27017

Didn't work. Still launches on 27018

Thats odd? I have two going and was able to select any port. Did you remove the command line option? Also is the port forwarded?

Lol if I remove the command line option it randomly starts on port 27016 now. (Also, if I add -port 27016 to the command line it also starts on 27016. It's like it just hates port 27017.)

And yes, the port is forwarded. I had a different server running on that IP successfully for a few months before shutting it down and converting it to CS:GO

Do you have access to console? if so type hostport 27017 then type hostport to see if it changed.

[ghostofmybrain]

I do have access.

If I do hostport 27017, then hostport, it outputs

"hostport" = "27017" ( def. "27015" )
- Host game server port

but does not change the connect port or the port mirrored in hlsw.

Sorry, never noticed. When I look at the server info in the steam server list it shows my servers on port 27015 and 27017 not 27013 and 27014. This is messed up.

@ghostofmybrain are you running multiple servers ?
This why maybe it not allow you use that port..

something like this..

Network: IP x.x.x.x, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27017 SV / 27005 CL
L 05/13/2012 - 21:27:14: -------- Mapchange to cs_office --------

Can't init info_ladder

You can log server console output.
add in launch parameter
+con_logfile "myfile.txt"

you found it game<mod> root folder.

Yes, I am running multiple servers, but it does not tell me the port is unavailable. As mentioned in the OP, nothing is running on port 27017. I've seen the error you speak of before when accidentally launching a srcds on a used port, but I'm not getting that now.
