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 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.
