[Arif Ibrahim]

I am using Eclipse SDK 3.3.when I am trying to run the server(JBOSS or Tomcat) in the Eclipse, I am getting error "Server port in use".I changed to different port and also tried but still getting same error.I even checked the port status and it show that port is not use. If I run the server by running bin/run file..the server run in the same port without any problem......can you people tell me what the problem is???

Since this issue looks specific to the IDE, i will move this to our IDEs forum where you might get some help.

Did you try googling?

[Martijn Verburg]

I can't say I've seen that particular problem before, the only thing I can think of is that you running multiple servers (eclipse has multiple consoles so there might be more running than you think).

@Gamini
I tried but didnt get any useful answer.


@Martijn
I checked port status by netstat command and found that port which i m using to run server is not in use. anyway how to check multiple console of Eclipse. Is Eclipse have any log where i can see the complete error

Thanks for replying

[Martijn Verburg]

You'll see a small arrow dropdown on the console tab where you can list the currently open consoles. Eclipse does have a log in its install directory (IIRC). I'm not sure what else you can try... Maybe try posting your connection details here, we might spot something (for example usage of localhost or 127.0.0.1 can sometimes be problematic)

1)Shut down eclipse
2)Open windows task manager and confirm there are no other java or javaw processes still running
3)Also confirm eclipse is fully shut down. (There should be no eclipse.exe in the list)
4)Bring up eclipse and tomcat/jboss

@Maneesh
I have already tried but no use.

I am using server port as 8080 and JNDI port as 1099.
Is there any problem in connections???

[Martijn Verburg]

Looks OK, but how are you connecting to the server?

* localhost?
* 127.0.0.1?
* static IP address?
* hostname?

[Arif Ibrahim]

Address is 127.0.0.1

[Martijn Verburg]

Hmm, try using localhost or your actual IP address (assuming you have a static UP address). If that doesn't work then hopefully someone else has a suggestion!

[Arif Ibrahim]

Thankz Martinjn but it is still not working
can somebody has any idea or suggestion, please reply....

[vijaya saradhi]

even I too got that kind of error.

I was trying to use tomcat in elipse but was n't successful.
seems the problem lies in elipse tool itself.since I was able to start and shutdown the server from command prompt
