java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind, in spite of no running port


I am trying to run Camunda BPM tool with embedded Apache tomcat. I get to the landing page, but then suddenly the get an JVM_Bind exception:

I ran netstat -ano | find "<port-number>"

  1. 8080 and 8090 ports were not found
  2. 8005 was found. 8005 port is the shutdown port configured in <tomcat>/conf/server.xml

Update:

C:\Users>taskkill /PID 4 /F                                                                                             
ERROR: The process with PID 4 could not be terminated.                                                                  
Reason: Access is denied.    

Solution

  • Probably there is a system process listening at that port. If that is the case, you need to change your port in server.xml file.
