I had some problems recently starting the newly installed WIldFly 8 server. On the very first launch it gave me the java.net.BindException rendering the server inoperable.

The whole log looked like this:

Those having the same problem should check who else uses the port 9990 in your Windows system. TCPView is a good tool to find out the guilty of charge. One of possible common causes in this case is NVIDIA Network Service (NvNetworkService.exe). If that's the case just find it in your Windows services list and stop/disable it. The service itself is responsible for checking for Nvidia drivers updates, so any time you want it back just turn it on manually.

Hope this helps and Regards
