Issue with apache tomcat server always running a program its showing that port 8080 is already used..
netstat -ano | findstr < Port Number >
taskkill /F /PID < Process Id >
I tried this every time that error is shown the problem is solved.
but has to done each time the server to be started or restarted.
I want a permanent solution to resolve this instead of each and every time manually stop the process in 8080..
you could either change the port of the other process to avoid a port conflict, or simply change it in tomcat
How to change tomcat port number
and change it to something like 8081
Looks like a service automatically starts on each startup, have you had a look between your services which automatically restarts?
You can have a look which executable is running on which port with following command (needs admin privileges):
netstat -a -b
Got the command from here:
How can you find out which process is listening on a port on Windows?
and you should have an output like this:
TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 WS1515:0 LISTENING
[java.exe]
This should give already a hint which process automatically start on each startup, you can have a look in the service tab (you open a run window and input services.msc and press enter)
Since you are using netstat, I believe you are using Windows. There are two ways in which you can handle the issue:
Disable tomcat service that is running by checking in services.msc. You can change the mode of startup from automatic to manual. This usually happens when you have installed a software using an msi that installs the tomcat service as a part of it.
You can try to change your tomcat server port by editing the following lines in the /conf/server.xml:
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"/>
Change port = 8080 to something else like port = 8082. In that way, you can continue using the customized tomcat without harming any other essential service that has been installed as mentioned in point #1 above
I cannot have my tomcat server started and at the same time use internet.
either I can start Tomcat (in Eclipse) and internet is not available.
or I can access the internet but tomcat cannot be started.
Here the original probleme I had when I first wanted to use Tomcat and display my html page on localhost.
GRAVE: StandardServer.await: create[localhost:8005]: I find a way to start the Tomcat Server: in the terminal:
sudo lsof -i : 8005 # checks port 80
sudo route -n flush
sudo route add default 192.168.1.1
then I can use tomcat and localhost:8080 but my internet connexion is dead
if I want my internet connexion then I stop the tomcat server by clicking on the red square in eclipse and then in the terminal I do:
sudo route -n flush
sudo route add default 192.168.0.1
THen I can use internet but tomcat cannot be restarted. I have to undergo the first process.
this of course is a very boring process and I would like to know what 's wrong and how I could fix it.
I use tomcat 9 / Mac OS sierra / Eclipse Neon3
When you say "my internet connexion is dead", do you mean that your network connection drops or that your DNS lookups fail? (What do you think this command is doing and why are you performing it: sudo route add default 192.168.1.1?)
If your program is modifying your system's connectivity settings, I would strongly recommend against preventing it from doing that. There's no reason for it to do so at that level, a more appropriate place to set settings would be at some deploy stage.
Alternatively, you could run your app in a Docker container which I strongly suspect will solve your problem. Visit www.docker.com to learn more.
I created a small web application.if i deployed its work but if try to run application it show
the port 8888 appears to be in use(perhaps by another lanch),do you still to contine with this lanch? i clicked yes
but show the error
Could not open the requested socket: Address already in use: bind
Try overriding --address and/or --port.
The problem is what it is stating.
You are facing this issue because of the following:
Either the port 8888 is in use by some other application and not previous launch. This is less likely.
This condition is more likely and it is because you have already launched the application once i.e. via the Run as Web Application. And it is still running. In your Eclipse, visit the Window-> Show View -> Console. And in the Console window, you will find one or more previous instances running. Please stop that.
There are some instances where the solution suggested by Romin will not work because the option to stop the process does not present itself in the console.
In these cases, you can probably find out which process ID is using the port and then kill that process.
For example, on a mac, this worked for me:
😈 >lsof -i tcp:8888
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java 25866 alexryan 60u IPv6 0x96e9c26778f105e1 0t0 TCP localhost:ddi-tcp-1 (LISTEN)
😈 >kill 25866
😈 >lsof -i tcp:8888
😈 >
The port number 8888 is in use means that port already been activated. do one thing go to servicees option of control panel set the server start option from automatic to manual. Then your apps will get run. else you can stop the server from your eclipse env stop option.
I installed a standard executable jar file as a Windows service by running the following command:
> prunsrv.exe //IS//"My Service" --Install="C:\path-to-prunsrv.exe" --Jvm=auto \
--Startup=auto --StartMode=jvm --Classpath="C:\path-to-MyService.jar" \
--StartClass=com.mydomain.MyService
I can now run my program fine in console mode by running the following command (I'm using Java 1.6):
> prunsrv.exe //TS//"My Service"
When I try to start the service through the standard Windows services interface, I get the following error message:
The MyService service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.
There is no output in my application's log file when I attempt to start the service this way. There is also no output in the Window's event log (Windows 7 64-bit). What can I do to try and figure out why this service will not run?
Don't use any white-space in the service name!
After many hours of testing and pulling apart Tomcat and duplicating it's bootstrap process, the fix for my problem ended up being that Apache Commons Daemon (Procrun) does not work properly when there is white-space in the name of the Windows service.
It seemingly correctly installs and registers a service with Windows when there are spaces in the service name. The Windows registry entries even look correct. The service even runs in debug (aka TS or console) mode just fine. When run, however, as an actual service launched by Windows it fails if the service was installed with a white-space in the service name.
I sure wish Procrun had some type of log output when it fails! Good logging can make debugging issues like this a snap.
I did need to have multiple words in my service name, so I named my service with one word and changed the name with the "DisplayName" parameter:
> prunsrv.exe //IS//MyService --Install="C:\path-to-prunsrv.exe" --Jvm=auto \
--Startup=auto --StartMode=jvm --Classpath="C:\path-to-MyService.jar" \
--StartClass=com.mydomain.MyService --DisplayName="My Service"
I wanted to give some additional information about what '11101101b' said above. (This is my first post, so please be gentle!)
I was able to get the service to install correctly with spaces in the service name by changing the //IS//MyService part of his command to instead be the following, which I suspect is what he also did. (I apologize if I'm assuming incorrectly.) Notice that the opening double quote is at the beginning of the string rather than at the beginning of the service name.
"//IS//My Service"
As was the case for him, the service installed correctly and looked correct, but it wouldn't start. I was able to get around that by changing the service's ImagePath value data setting in the registry to have the same change for the //RS//My Service part of the command. Therefore, the registry value instead had the following in its data setting:
"//RS//My Service"
Everything seems to be working without any problems.
This server starts and stops because of reason the task is completed by the service so it would stop automatically. if you have a logic of running long inside it would not stop.
I got same problem ... under my local machine everthing working fine on server the same issue => problem was that Working Path was not set.
May its heps someone ... be the force with you
Some times whenever I restart the application, which is built on
Java
Struts
Mysql and Jboss 4.05 Version
I get the error as Address already in use: JVM_Bind
Only fix that i know is to restart the machine and try again, it will work.
Else Some times I do Ctrl-Alt-Del and Stop all the process related to Java, some times this also works.
But what is the exact reason and how can we prevent this problem ?
Address already in use: JVM_Bind
means that some other application is already listening on the port your current application is trying to bind.
what you need to do is, either change the port for your current application or better; just find out the already running application and kill it.
on Linux you can find the application pid by using,
netstat -tulpn
In windows this scenario happens when Eclipse crashes without a clean shutdown it will have the local Jetty or Tomcat server keep running.
When you reopen Eclipse and try to start server again this will lead to the "Address already in use: JVM_Bind"
You can solve this by opening Task Manager and find the javaw.exe process and ending it.
Then you can restart the server on Eclipse.
On windows, in an elevated cmd/ps
net stop winnat
then
net start winnat
Resets the windows' NAT service and that removes faulty listeners.
This method works for most 'cannot listen on this port' errors, like as in Docker, JVM etc.
I usually come across this when the port which the server (I use JBoss) is already in use
Usual suspects
Apache Http Server => turn down the service if working in windows.
IIS => stop the ISS using
Skype =>yea I got skype attaching itself to port 80
To change the port to which JBoss 4.2.x binds itself go to:
"C:\jboss4.2.2\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer\server.xml"
here default is the instance of the server
change the port here :
<Connector port="8080"
address="${jboss.bind.address}" >
In the above example the port is bound to 8080
Open command line and type: netstat -a -o -n or tasklist to see currently running processes.
Find port that related to Java and type: taskkill /F /PID <your PID number>.
Click Enter.
Is it possible that MySql listening on the same port as JBoss?
Is there a port number given in the error message - something like Address already in use: JVM_Bind:8080
You can change the port in JBoss server.xml to test this.
For the sake of completeness as many may fall in this SO for other reasons than OP's question, here is another info that saved my day :
TL;DR;
Check that the port you want to open is not reserved (even though no application has opened it)
On windows :
netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
Explanation :
At least on windows, another possible cause for the java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind is that the operating system has "reserved" the port.
If you use the commands from other answer in this topic, they will tell you that no application is listening to the port, yet you cannot open it.
Some windows update like this one reserves range port that can then no longer be claimed by processes.
Though not explicit on the port that can no longer be opened, the update note mentions a command that can help troubleshooting the issue :
netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
this will yield a list of port range that are blocked :
Protocol tcp Port Exclusion Ranges
Start Port End Port
---------- --------
5357 5357
49709 49808
49809 49908
49909 50008
50009 50108
50109 50208
50280 50379
* - Administered port exclusions.
The quick answer on how to prevent it is that you most likely need to stop JBoss before starting it again.
You should be able to call the "Terminate" button in the Console view to shutdown the server.
That error means that the you are trying to create a new ServerSocket on a port already in use by another ServerSocket. So try to make your application closing all sockets and connections you know about and be sure your application is completely terminated. Also check if there is another proces you launched by your program.
It can be also caused by double definition of port 8080 in ..\tomcat\conf\server.xml :
<Connector port="8080"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" debug="0"/>
<Connector port="8080"
enableLookups="false" address="127.0.0.1" maxParameterCount="30000"/>
please try following options for JVM binding exception:
start and stop the server. and check the server process ids and kill and stop the server.
go to control panel->administrative tool-> service-> check all server and stop all the servers and then start your own server.
change the Browser which your using. for example if
your using IE ,change it to Mozilla firefox.
I was having this problem too. For me, I couldn't start/stop openfire (it said it was stopped, but everything was still running)
sudo /etc/init.d/openfire stop
sudo /etc/init.d/openfire start
Also, restarting apache did not help either
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
The errors were inside:
/opt/openfire/logs/stderror.log
Error creating server listener on port 5269: Address already in use
Error creating server listener on port 5222: Address already in use
The way I fixed this, I had to actually turn off the server inside the admin area for my host.
I had the same on Windows. My solution was to get which port the debug wants to connect to. (In IntelliJ a red rectangle already giving the info: "Error running Tomcat: Unable to open debugger port (127.0.0.1:XXXXX): ... Already in use...")
Let's say XXXXX is the port number.
Then i searched for the problem and the PID in a cmd window:
netstat -ano | find "CLOSE_WAIT" | find ":XXXXX"
I got the PID number as the last number in the result line. (Let's say YYYY)
Finally:
TASKKILL /PID YYYY
An extra info: Winscp logged out meanwhile, probably it was causing my problem. :)
This recently happen to me when enabling JMX on two running tomcat service within Eclipse. I mistakenly put the same port for each server.
Simply give each jmx remote a different port
Server 1
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9000
Server 2
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9001
You can try deleting the Team Server credentials, most likely those will include some kind of port in the server column.
Like https://wathever.visualstudio.com:443
Go to Windows/Preferences
expand Team then Team Foundation Server
go to Credentials and remove whichever is there.
On Mac, even when I'd search with netstat, no processes were binding to that port, but I'd still get the "Address already in use" Bind exception.
In this case, going into
Safari -> Preferences -> Privacy -> Manage Website Data... -> finding "localhost" -> Remove
fixes the problem, if there really is no process running with that port. It seems Safari's web cache maintains a reference to the port somehow, and removing that cache frees up the port.
Sometimes, I use lsof -i:8080 and I get nothing back, no pid. Well something has to be taking place. If this is your case, it could be docker. By using docker ps you can check if you have any old dockers lying around and kill them. This could be the culprit for a port already in use error.
