'Address already in use' when Starting up Stash
Symptoms
The following exception is reported when starting up Stash:
SEVERE: StandardServer.await: create[8006]:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)Cause
Another application is already running on the same port that Stash is trying to use.
Resolution
- If this is your first time running Stash or you have recently added applications or made changes to the system, investigate what's running on port 7990 (Default port for Stash) .
- If Stash was not shut down properly, you can restart the machine or kill the process:
On Windows
1. Hit Ctrl-alt-delete and look at open programs. Look for {{java.exe}}.
2. From a command window, run {{netstat -an}}. Check which ports are in use. You can identify which application is running this way, then close it from the Task Manager.
On Linux
Run {{ps -aux \| grep java}}. This will show the java processes running and their process ids. You can kill a process with the command {{kill -9 <pid>}}.3. If there is another application running on that port and you wish to continue running it on port 7990, you will need to change the default listening port for Stash. For this edit the server.xml file and change the following two lines:
<Server port="8006" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
<Connector port="7990" protocol="HTTP/1.1"to something like:
<Server port="8007" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
<Connector port="7991" protocol="HTTP/1.1"This will change the port to 7991 for Stash.
