CF10: Address already in use: JVM_Bind

I know this post is 7 years old, but I came across this same problem today: someone running CF10, where it would not start, and the ports reported in the log as "in use" were very clearly NOT in use. And it was the AJP and http ports, so while CF "started", neither the admin nor any web site would work.

With no choice, the box (Windows) was rebooted--and lo and behold, now CF started, with no errors, and the admin and sites now worked. FWIW, there were in fact Windows updates "pending a restart". Perhaps something was in an unexpected state.

Just sharing this if anyone else ever hits the same situation.

I had this problem, and couldn't find any duplicates checking the ports with

sudo grep -i port /opt/coldfusion10/*/runtime/conf/server.xml

Then i realised that the Jenkins server running on this machine was using port 8009

sudo netstat -lptu|grep 80

sudo netstat -lptu|grep 85

Hi,

I can see the same issue in our Linux (Redhat) CF10 cluster. I tried to change the different ports as suggested but it doesn't change anything.

Do you have more information concerning this issue?

Thanks.

Hello Jurriaan,

The "Address already in use: JVM_Bind" error signifies that, ColdFusion’s internal port are being used by some other process.

Can you check the Server shutdown port in server.xml. <Server port="XXXX" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">, where XXXX is the port number . If that port is already in use by the other instance, please replace XXXX by any other port no it use.

You also need to check the port numbers for <Connector port="XXXX" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="XXXX" tomcatAuthentication="false" />

Please take a backup of your existing server.xml(s) before making the changes.

After that, try to restart the server and check if you are still facing the issue.

Note:- To check the list of ports in use, please Launch Command prompt as Administrator and type the command netstat –ano.

Regards,

Anit Kumar
