Description Simon Lessard 2002-08-12 14:46:13 UTC

Hi everyone,

I am turning to you because i belive that you can help me solve this problem. 
I have tried "newsletter" with no success.

So, this is my story:

I just did a fresh installation of Jakarta 4.0.3 and Jakarta 4.0.4 on a test 
machine. It is a basic installation with no modification in the configuration 
files.

When i try to start Tomcat, i get the same message on both version, which is:

          java.net.BindException: The socket name is already in use.

I have Tomcat Version 3.2.4 setup and this on is working fine.

I also tried the Tomcat Version 4.1.7. It is running good, I can access the 
Manager Section but not the Administration section. (A other story)


With the following, can anyone tell me how to solve this problem.

Thank you in advance,

Simon Lessard

================================================
Note: I know there is no process listening on port 8080 and 8007 (see 
      "netstat -a" command
      I also used "lsof" to find out and nothing in there also.

Comment 1 Simon Lessard 2002-08-13 19:11:34 UTC

Hi again,

I keep tring to startup Tomcat 4.0.4. This is waht I did lately. Hope this will 
help.

- After tring many time, I decided to use the older version. So I downloaded 
version 4.0.1, 4.0.2

- Version 4.0.1 starup fine. I was able to acces the default Home page of Tomcat

- Version 4.0.2 startup also but gave me the error in the summary and I was 
able to access the default Home page

- Seeing that I tried to start Version 4.0.3. For unknow reason, it acted up 
exactly as Version 4.0.2 did. I was able to access the default Home page of 
version 4.0.3.

- I did modified the "tomcat-users.xml" file and added the "manager" user.

- From there, I was able to send the command:

      http://ibm44p:8080/manager/list

- It did asked for the user / password and it work fine.

- Confident, I tried to start the Version 4.0.4.

- I had the same result as before.

- So, what follow is my complete session for Version 4.0.3

I am lost in the process. Is my environment wrong? Is it the JDK? IS there 
anyting missng?

Hope to find out,

Simon Lessard

Comment 2 Simon Lessard 2002-08-14 14:36:26 UTC

Hi,

I finally found the culprit on my problem. On AIX, when we install the 
HTTPServer application from IBM, this one have the "admin" section which listen 
on port 8008 by default. Also, we have to change the default Web Server port 
from 80 to 8009.


- How I solve this problem

  1_ I looked at all the ports used in the configurations files.

  2_ I issue the this command:  netstat -na | grep -i listen 

  3_ I found that port 8009 was used

  4_ I changed the port for the HTTP Server and everything work fine.

I am on the next step now,

Thank you

Suggestion: It would be nice to display the port number in the error message


On my test machine, this option
