  • 1.  Port already in use error while starting WAS

    Posted 08/04/11 01:24 PM
    People....can you please help me out with this issue..

    0000000f TCPPort       E   TCPC0003E: TCP Channel TCP_2 initialization failed.  The socket bind failed for host * and port 8080.  The port may already be in use.

    0000001e TCPPort       E   TCPC0003E: TCP Channel TCP_2 initialization failed.  The socket bind failed for host * and port 8080.  The port may already be in use.

    This started to happen all of a sudden on my PC since a week when I start WAS server in RAD, and I can't figure out what is causing this.

    I tried "netstat -a" and port 8080 is in Listening mode. "netstat -b" does not show me any processes using 8080.

    What should I do to fix this issue?

    So something else must be using 8080.


    Change the port 8080 to 9090 in your websphere, restart the server and see if the issue comes back

    sounds like someting is holding up the port


    reboot might just kill any process that kept it open.  I would do that before I change any configuration -- its usually a safe approch.
