When I try to start Tomcat from NetBeans I receive only error message reading "Starting of Tomcat failed, the server port 8084 is already in use". It worked before and I didn't changed any settings. I restarted my OS and used netstat - nothing on port 8084. I checked programs connected to network with Windows Defender and again - nothing. I started NB and tried to start the Tomcat - same problem, it claimed the port is in use. After that I saw that Java listens on port 8084 via Windows Defender (wasn't listening before). The only thing I recall is that I tried to stop Tomcat from NB and the progress bar labeled "stopping ..." was there for several minutes. I closed whole netbeans and confirmed it even though the task didn't finished. Maybe it stopped working after that, but I am not sure. Only P3 because I don't know how to reproduce it and using fresh userdir helped. Otherwise I would mark it with higher priority as it makes Tomcat from NetBeans unusable. ----- Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.1 (Build 200805300101) Java: 1.6.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b23 System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1250; cs_CZ (nb) (SP1)
Jardo can you reproduce this? Thanks.
I don't remember seeing anything like this recently.Tomcat can't start if another server is running on the same port,like NB Glassfish v2,for example.There could have been some hanged up server in the memory.If it occurs next time,check please Windows Task Manager to detect running java processes,just to be sure.Anyway, I think keyword RANDOM is appropriate for this issue.I'll try to do some testing on Tomcat with my Vista and see if there'll be any success in reproducing the issue.
No feedback from reporter,so closing as worksforme.
