Address already in use: JVM_Bind java

Question

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

Answer 1

I usually come across this when the port which the server (I use JBoss) is already in use

Usual suspects

1. Apache Http Server => turn down the service if working in windows.
2. IIS => stop the ISS using
3. 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 :

In the above example the port is bound to 8080
