You are using wrong command, which starts 2nd copy of rbfeeder, and it cant find ports as these are already in use by 1st copy started by system and running in background.

Your wrong command:
sudo rbfeeder status

First reboot Pi to stop 2nd copy.
Then issue correct command to see status of 1st copy started by system at reboot

The correct command is
sudo systemctl status rbfeeder

Hi

I did reboot the Pi and ran the 2nd command
is there anything else i need to check?

The status says:

Apr 28 20:35:34 raspberrypi rbfeeder[508]: [2021-04-28 20:35:34]  Can't connect to 978 source (127.0.0.1:28380). Waiting 5 second.

Your settings for dump978 need to be modified.

(1) Have you installed dump978?
If yes, which one, Flightaware dump978-fa or Radarbox24 dump978-rb ?

(2) Please copy-paste output of following command

cat /etc/rbfeeder.ini 

Note: remove you feeder key from the post.

I do not have a second RTL connected for Dump978
just one Dongle
[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log

key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

sn=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

lat=xxxxxxxxx

lon=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

alt=110

sat_used=0

sat_visible=0

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.5 /usr/bin/mlat-client

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true

[abcd567]

This is strange.
Your file rbfeeder.ini has following line commented out (i.e. has # at it's start), so it becomes ineffective.

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true

With above setting the rbfeeder should NOT try to connect to dump978, but your status shows it is trying to connect to dump978 and fails. This is strange and abnormal behaviour.


OK, ley us try to tell rbfeeder more positively that dump978 is not enabled by this way:

(2) Remove # from start of the line.
(1) change true to false

The line becomes like this:

[dump978]
dump978_enabled=false

(3) Save file (Ctrl+O) and close (Ctrl+x)

(4) Now restart rbfeeder, then again check status:

sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder 

After few minutes: 
sudo systemctl status rbfeeder
