How do I clear an address for Glassfish 4.0 with default settings?

Question

I get the following error when I\'m trying to start my glassfish server with default settings from netbeans IDE 7.3.1:

java.net.BindException: Address already in         


        

Answer 1

It seems that another server is using one of the ports assigned to your glassfish server.

In my case I got the exception SEVERE: Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["ajp-bio-8009"] java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind :8009

It turn out to be a forgotten Tomcat instance already running on my pc. When i disabled the forgotten one the exception went away.

So in your case some other server is occupying a port used by your glassfish server. Find which server it is and stop it, or assign a different port to your glassfish server.

If you are on windows you can use the netstat -a -o command and see witch process uses the port number:
