Bind address already in use

Hello all,
I have a strange problem with TCP sokets.
on a SunOS5.9 Sparc machine i am running a server progam
which has the sequence,
socket()
bind()
listen()
connect().....
do lots of processing with the clients (around 28 clients)
close()
sleep(30)
server restart the above sequence
when restarting i get a bind error:
Address already in Use.
i have verifeid that the socket is close, return value of close is 0.
Is it possible that socket resources are not released by kernel?
Is tuning the value of tcp_time_wait_interval to a low value will help to get the code running.
Or is there any other tunbale parameter to be tuned out.
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks.

Ftp (GNU inetutils) 1.6 error : [ftp: bind: Address already in use]

hi,
recently I discovered that I cant connect to many ftp servers using the common command line ftp client from a 64bit archlinux box.
I tried connecting from other PCs at the same network (iMac) and it works without problems, the error is general, shows with every ftp server I tried,
the client connects and then freezes or returns an error (depending on the ftp server)
ftp: bind: Address already in use
I got no firewall or iptables rules, I installed ncftp with pacman and it works, so I assume it's a ftp (GNU) client error,
thanks

I haven't installed any additional services. At the beginning things went ok I think that the problem started when I added an IP address to the second eth interface.
The system is a Sun Netra T1.

I changed the port address of both admins but I dont' think that's the issue. Can someone tell me whats going on.
Thanks

Hi
Iam getting the Same Error , Can you provide me some information on what changes did you made to the setDomainEnv.cmd file to make this work
thanks in advance

Error starting ORMI-Server. Unable to bind socket: Address already in use:

hi,
I run the folowing command "start_oc4j.bat" to start Oc4j.
It starts successfully.
Then I start "BPEL PM Server".
I get the following error,
"Error starting ORMI-Server. Unable to bind socket: Address already in use: JVM_Bind".
I understand the above errror because both of them are trying to bind to the same port. And both of them are trying to start ORMI server. Can some one suggest how to get rid of this problem.
I tried giving different port numbers for them, but that did not work. Let me know, how to over come this problem.
with regards
shaila

You may have another OC4J running on your computer.
You should change the port number in the file config/rmi.xml.

Address already in use: Cannot bind

Hi all. I have a desktop app that sends commands and receives responses from a network appliance.
All commands and responses work fine except one - trying to use RTPSocketPlayer on port 49154.
The normal command and response UDP port is 49152. Streaming audio should come in on port 49154.
I am closing and disconnecting the socket on 49152 after every command and response.
But when I try to invoke the RTPSocketPlayer and bind port 49154 to my local IP, I get the
Address already in use: Cannot bind error.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
waynew

Ah OK, I get it. Change the InitSocket() method thus:
sock = new DatagramSocket(null);
sock.setReuseAddress(true);
sock.bind(new InetSocketAddress(addr, sockPort));but also have a look at netstat -an to see who else is on that port and whether that's OK.

Ipv4 mapped addresses bind problem: address already in use.

Hello. It's me again with another, may be newbie, question.
This time I observe different behavior binding different type of ip addresses on tcp sockets. For instance
- when I bind ipv4 mapped addresses, if there is a remaining old socket in TIME_WAIT state from a previous run
I get the error 'Address already in use', event with SO_REUSEADDR set.
- when I bind another type of ipv6 or just ipv4 addresses. if there if a remaining old socket in TIME_WAIT state from
a previous run, the bind is successful (SO_REUSEADDR is set).
How can be explained this behavior?
Thanks a lot.
Details
=======
I made a small program to test this. This program:
- dump the addresses to be used in bind() and connect()
- creates a LISTEN SOCKET calling
- socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
- fcntl(F_SETFD, fcntl(F_GETFD) | FD_CLOEXEC)
- fcntl(F_SETFL, fcntl(F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK),
- setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR),
- setsockopt(SO_KEEPALIVE),
- setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY),
- bind()
- listen()
- creates a CONNECTING SOCKET calling
- socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
- fcntl(F_SETFD, fcntl(F_GETFD) | FD_CLOEXEC)
- fcntl(F_SETFL, fcntl(F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK),
- setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR),
- setsockopt(SO_KEEPALIVE),
- setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY),
- connect()
- creates a ACCEPTED SOCKET calling
- accept()
- fcntl(F_SETFD, fcntl(F_GETFD) | FD_CLOEXEC)
- fcntl(F_SETFL, fcntl(F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK),
- setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR),
- setsockopt(SO_KEEPALIVE),
- setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY),
- issue a std::system( "netstat -an | grep 10329" )
- wait with select() for a write event in the CONNECTING SOCKET
- wait with select() for a write event in the ACCEPTED SOCKET
- close the accepted socket
- close the connecting socket
- close the listen socket
- issue another std::system( "netstat -an | grep 10329" )
- exit(0)
Note: please don't get confused with my notation of addresses, the last component, after the last colon, is the port.
I run it with ipv4 mapped listen address, with this result:

Sorry, to use such short forms in forums as i dont know much about this. i rarly use java forum. well, i removed the code that i gave u for server starting. but still it is giving me the same error. this time i put it in a java bean file.(Hint "u" is just another short form).
Did you try the suggestion to put a log statement just before you start the server? Or put a breakpoint at that line and see how often it is reached.
Because the only reason for this problem is that something is already listening at that port.
And if there's really nothing listening before you start you application, then only your application itself can listen there already, so the logical conclusion for me would be that you're starting the Server twice.

Unable to bind socket: Address already in use

Hi,
I get the following error whenever I start my Application Server on Linux machine.
If I deploy the EJB application onto a OC4J instance, the server is refusing the connection by throwing Connection Refused error.
Any insight about this issue will be helpful.
Thanks,
Mohan

Hello Shyam,
I don't see how updating the kernel would help in this case.
If the port was already in use, any kernel version would give the same error.
Hello Arpit,
Since this is a Linux server, you can also run "lsof -nP|grep 3601" (may need to be logged on as "root"). This should give you more details than "netstat" (e.g., it will give you the PID of the process that's already using the port).
The solution has already being pointed on this thread. You need to find out which process is using the port, and stop this other process.
Cheers,
Isaías

Transport error 202 bind failed address already in use

how to rectify -- transport error 202 bind failed address already in use-- while running CA server
i have created new production and pub server, first i runned production server after that while running CA server i got that error. if i run CA server independently its running

It seems like a port conflict issue. You should check rmi and other ports in the configuration file for the component /atg/dynamo/Configuration in the localconfig of your production and publishing servers directories under <ATG>\home\servers. Also, your app server should be configured to run two separate instances for production and publishing server as per the http ports specified in /atg/dynamo/Configuration.

Problem with Embedded OC4J: Address already in use: JVM_Bind

When I try to run a Servlet in JDeveloper 10g it works fine. But when I stop the Embedded OC4J and try to run the Servlet again, the following message appears in the log:
[Starting OC4J using the following ports: HTTP=8988, RMI=23891, JMS=9227.]

[waiting for the server to complete its initialization...]
03/10/23 14:23:01 Error starting ORMI-Server. Unable to bind socket: Address already in use: JVM_Bind
Process exited with exit code 7.
What could be causing this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Modify the config/rmi.xml file to have the host attribute in the tag as follows:
<rmi-server port="23791" host="server-ip-address">
</rmi-server>
After that, place the log4j-your-jdev-version.jar in appserverhome/j2ee/home/lib folder.
Restart the server. The bind problem would disappear.
Hope this solves your problem :-)

Address already in use: JVM_Bind error in DOS

Hello,
I am writing a multi threaded client server (Both client and server are multi threaded) program.where I have set of clients performing secure file transfer amongst them self. Here there is a Indexing server who is keeping record of all the files contained by clients. A client will make a request for a file to the Indexing Server which intern return the port no. and address of the client having that file. Now this client will connect to another client (Which now will act as server) to get the file and public key .
Now I am connecting to server by using fix port number.
Socket client = new Socket("127.0.0.1",2345)
Also since the request for file from another client can come therefor I am creating a thread to start listning port on client side by,
serverSocket serversocket = new serverSocket(client.getLocalport);
//provided that connection to server with port 2345 already made.
but when I am running this program through "DOS" it is giving me an error Address already in use: JVM_Bind.
//checked through netstat and found that localport for the client is bound to 2345 (That is obvious)
But when I am running this program in unix I am getting no error.

ServerSocket.setReuseAddress(true) does not work on vista. Why? The following code is OK on XP, but throw the above exception on vista.
     @Test
     public void test() throws Throwable {
          Thread t = new Thread() {
               public void run() {
                    ServerSocket ss;
                    try {
                         ss = new ServerSocket( 11111 );
                         System.out.println( "In Thread: " + ss );
                         System.out.println( "In Thread: " + ss.accept() );
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
          t.start();
          Socket cs = new Socket( (String)null, 11111 );
          System.out.println( cs );
          ServerSocket s = new ServerSocket();
          s.setReuseAddress( true );
          s.bind( new InetSocketAddress( cs.getLocalPort() ) );
          System.out.println( s );
     }

Socket Error: Address already in use

Hello all,
I'm trying to get the Trac bug tracking system installed on my system(running snow leopard). After quite a bit of tinkering I've managed to install Trac, but as of now, its a standalone entity. I am trying to get this linked to the apache webserver, but having no success. Has anybody done this before? I haven't used unix to this level before and so am struggling with that as well... any info on this is much appreciated.
One of the instructions to test run Trac as a standalone component was using this command tracd --port 8000 /path/to/myfolder (according to installation instructions at http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall). I stopped it using Ctrl-Z and now when I try to run it again, get the following message and error:

Can somebody please guide me to fix this?

I realize that closing the terminal window "frees" the socket. But, is there something else that I can do while stopping the running application to ensure that the socket also gets "freed"?

Control-Z does "stop" the process, but it doesn't kill it. Use Control-C to do that. Then, you may have to wait a couple of minutes for the OS to free up your socket until you can try again.

"BindException: Address already in use" error all the time!

I made a simple program that streams lines of text across the network/internet and a simple client program to display that text. The problem is, regardless of what port I choose, I always get this exception on the server's side:
C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop>java LyricalUploader

        at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:97)
        at LyricalUploader.main(LyricalUploader.java:11)What bothers me is it creates the ServerSocket just fine (that's what the output saying "Bound" means) and if I replace the new LyricalThread(ss.accept()).start(); line in the code below with new LyricalThread(ss.accept()).run();, it works fine, It just can't handle more than one client. I have tried many many ports and they all have the same result. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the code:
import java.net.*;

public class LyricalUploader{
public static void main(String args[]){

int c=0;

public void run(){
    try{
      System.out.print("Starting.");
      PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(s.getOutputStream());
      BufferedReader fin =new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Lyrics.txt"));
      System.out.print(".");
      String line = fin.readLine();
      System.out.println(".Done!");
      while(true){
        while(line!=null){
          out.println(line);
          //System.out.println(line);
          line=fin.readLine();
          Thread.sleep(1600);
        fin.close();
        System.out.println("End of Lyrics.txt file.");
        fin =new BufferedReader(new FileReader("Lyrics.txt"));
    catch(Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace();
      return;
public static void main(String arg[]){
    new LyricalThread(null).start();
}And the Client code:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
public class LyricalReader{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
    Socket s = null;
    BufferedReader sin = null;
    FileOutputStream out = null;
    try{
      System.out.println("Started");
      System.out.print("Connecting...");
      s = new Socket("2.9.19.94",49625);
      System.out.println("Done!");
      System.out.print("Finding song...");
      sin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
      String line = sin.readLine();
      System.out.println("Done!\nStarted reading:\n\n\n\n\n\n");
      while(true){
        System.out.println(line);
        line = sin.readLine();
    }catch(Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace();
      sin.close();
      s.close();
      out.close();
    System.exit(0);

Hi,
your Server must create only one ServerSocket, not multiples! So write
try{
    ss = new ServerSocket(49625);
    System.out.println("Bound");
    while(true){
      System.out.println("Started Listening");
      new LyricalThread(ss.accept()).start();
catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    System.exit(1);
}and take the creation of the ServerSocket outside the while-loop.

Address already in use

Hi Guys!
I'm using Oracle9ias 9.0.3. When I execute
$opmnctl startall, I get the next error in all instances (<instance>.default_island.1):
java.net.BindException: Address already in use
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)
I have 3 instances, each one with different port rmi, configured in opmn.xml.
I used -Drmi.debug=true -Drmi.verbose=true in java-options and I got in the log:
RMIServer.DEBUG: using OPMN, address is ZERO_ADDRESS, use local address instead
RMIServer.DEBUG: creating RMIServer ServerSocket for address: antares.txp/127.0.0.1 port: 3114
RMIServer.DEBUG: Launching RMIServer thread
RMIServer.DEBUG: creating RMIServer ServerSocket for local address: antares.txp/127.0.0.1 port: 3114
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(PlainSocketImpl.java:447)
at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>
Any idea??
Thanks!
Carlos Guerra

Try to use netstat -an to see if there is anything listening on this port (you should see "LISTEN" on far right on line). There is no process id or whatever, you just know there is a server socket open - might be a different program, might be a running instance incorrectly shuted down...
On the left there is a local address, on right there is a remote address (might be a connection from the same host, of course)
If there is nothing running before starting server, there is probably a port mismatch in your settings (i. e. rmi port for next started instance is the same as jms or http port of prevous one... I don't know about all of the ports settings.
Sometimes, especially on Windows there is a situation when server socket is not correctly closed and you have to restart Windows itself.
