jboss startup error

[aniketm]

when i try to start jboss server on windows 2000
the following error occurs and jboss does not start.

[NamingService] Could not start on port 1099
java.net.BindException: Address in use: JVM_Bind.

I am using jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12.
The same error is coming even with jboss-3.0.8_tomcat-4.1.24.
If anybody has solution to this, pl. let me know.

If I change the port for JNDI then it starts.but the same problem occurs if i restart the server.
Thanks in advance.

That most often comes fromthe fact that network drives are 'mounted' with ports in that port range on windows.
Afaik, only a reboot can cure this.

On windows 2000 the command "netstat" will tell you which ports are in use at any one time. Try netstat -a-o, which should give you a list of all open ports and the PIDs for the processes that are using them. You should be able to find out what is grabbing the port. In my experience, its usually something like a firewall client, or an IDE that has not shut the server down completely.
