I have strange thing when I try to modify Spring project inside my Spring Tool Suite. On the first load (deploy) everything is fine, application compiles and runs on localhost:8080
When I change something inside code and try to redeploy it (Run it again - Run As Spring Boot App) I get error message
*************************** APPLICATION FAILED TO START
Description:
The Tomcat connector configured to listen on port 8080 failed to start. The port may already be in use or the connector may be misconfigured.
Action:
Verify the connector's configuration, identify and stop any process that's listening on port 8080, or configure this application to listen on another port.
2016-10-19 00:01:22.615 INFO 10988 --- [ main] ationConfigEmbeddedWebApplicationContext : Closing org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.AnnotationConfigEmbeddedWebApplicationContext@3023df74: startup date [Wed Oct 19 00:01:19 CEST 2016]; root of context hierarchy 2016-10-19 00:01:22.616 INFO 10988 --- [ main] o.s.j.e.a.AnnotationMBeanExporter : Unregistering JMX-exposed beans on shutdown
If I shutdown process on that port manually everything works fine again, but this can't be right way of redeploying Spring app. Am I doing something wrong here?
I'm using :: Spring Boot :: (v1.4.1.RELEASE)
P.S. I'm aware that I can setup some kind of hot-swap mechanism to have automatic reload of page after I change code, but for now I would like to resolve this issue first.
Thanks for any kind of help or info.
This question is related to
java
spring
spring-mvc
tomcat
spring-boot
Just click red button to stop all services on eclipse than re- run application as Spring Boot Application - This worked for me.
Print the list of running processes and try to find the one that says spring
in it. Once you find the appropriate process ID (PID
), stop the given process.
ps aux | grep spring
kill -9 INSERT_PID_HERE
After that, try and run the application again. If you killed the correct process your port should be freed up and you can start the server again.
If you are using linux system, use the below command.
fuser -k some_port_number/tcp
- that will kill that process.
Sample:-
fuser -k 8080/tcp
Second Option: Configure the tomcat to use a new port
It sometimes happen even when we stop running processes in IDE with help of Red button , we continue to get same error.
It was resolved with following steps,
Check what processes are running at available ports
netstat -ao |find /i "listening"
We get following
TCP 0.0.0.0:7981 machinename:0 LISTENING 2428
TCP 0.0.0.0:7982 machinename:0 LISTENING 2428
TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 machinename:0 LISTENING 12704
TCP 0.0.0.0:8500 machinename:0 LISTENING 2428
i.e. Port Numbers and what Process Id they are listening to
Stop process running at your port number(In this case it is 8080 & Process Id is 12704)
Taskkill /F /IM 12704
(Note: Mention correct Process Id)
For more information follow these links Link1 and Link2.
My Issue was resolved with this, Hope this helps !
There are two ways to resolve this issue.Try option 1 first, if it doesn't work try option 2, and your problem is solved.
1) On the top right corner of your console, there is a red button, to stop the spring boot application which is already running on this port just click on the red button to terminate.
2) If the red button is not activated you need to right click on the console and select terminate/disconnect all. Hope this helps.
Bonus tip:- If you want to run your server on a different port of your choice, create a file named application.properties in resource folder of your maven project and write server.port=3000 to run your application on port 3000
Open "localhost:8080" on your browser and see what is running on this port.
I did it and I just found Oracle 10g XE running on background, so I went to start->Services and stopped all oracle services. Then I redo mvnw spring-boot:run
on IntelliJ and it runs like magic.
The reason is one servlet container is already running on port 8080 and you are trying to run another one on port 8080.
Check what processes are running at available ports.
For Windows :
netstat -ao |find /i "listening"
OR
netstat -ano | find "8080"
(Note: 8080 is port fail to start)
Now try to reLaunch or stop your application.
Taskkill /F /IM 6592 Note: Mention correct Process Id
right click on the console and select terminate/disconnect all
Task Manager
and end Java(tm) platform se binaryAnother option is :
Go to application.properties
file set server.port=0
. This will cause Spring Boot to use a random free port every time it starts.
In my case, the error occurred as the application was unable to access the keystore for ssl.
Starting the application as root user fixed the issue.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Yes, you are. One servlet container is already running on port 8080 and you are trying to run another one on port 8080 again.
Either restart the server (If there is button for that in STS) or stop and start it
Create application.properties
file under src/main/resources
folder and write content as
server.port=8084
Its runs fine. But every time before run need to stop application first by click on red button upper on the IDE
or try
RightClick on console>click terminate/Disconnect All
On Linux Machine, save the bash script and execute it. If you want to free port 8080, Input 8080 when prompted
echo "Enter port number to be closed :: "
read port
sudo kill $(sudo lsof -t -i:$port)
You can use list open file command and then kill the process like below.
sudo lsof -t -i tcp:8181 | xargs kill -9
or
sudo lsof -i tcp:8181
kill -9 PID
For Mac users(OS X El Capitan
):
You need to kill the port that localhost:8080
is running on.
To do this, you need to do two commands in the terminal :N
sudo lsof -i tcp:8080
kill -15 PID
NB! PID
IS A NUMBER PROVIDED BY THE FIRST COMMAND.
The first command gives you the PID
for the localhost:8080
.
Replace the PID
in the second command with the PID
that the first command gives you to kill the process running on localhost:8080
.
No Need to manually start an application every time at time of development to implements changes use 'spring-boot-devtool' maven dependency.
Automatic Restart : To use the module you simply need to add it as a dependency in your Maven POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
</dependency>
When you have the spring-boot-devtools module included, any classpath file changes will automatically trigger an application restart. We do some tricks to try and keep restarts fast, so for many microservice style applications this technique might be good enough.
If you got any error on your console by saying, “Embedded servlet container failed to start. Port 8080 was already in use.” Then go to application.properties file and add this property “server.port = 8090”.
Actually the default port for spring boot is 8080, if you have something else on that port, the above error will occur. So we are asking spring boot to run on other port by adding “server.port = 8090” in application.properties file.
hi creating a simple line in application.properties as SERVER_PORT=8090 solved the issue.
This is a typical startup failure due to the embedded servlet container’s port being in use.
Your embedded tomcat container failed to start because Port 8080 was already in use.
Just Identify and stop the process that's listening on port 8080 or configure (in you application.properties file )this application to listen on another port.
One simple solution for me that worked was to : - Restart the IDE, since the stop Button was no longer visible.
There are some processes left in the background on that port, several reasons can cause this problem, but you can solve easily if you end process which is related to 8080 or Spring.
If you are using Linux there is steps how to end process:
this will kill process which is left on 8080 port and let you run application.
Goto Window->Preferences, search for Launching.
Select the "Terminate and Relaunch while launching" option.
Press Apply.
In Spring Boot Application (Using Spring Starter Project) We Have Update Port in Server.xml using Tomcat server and Add this port in application.property( insrc/main/resources) the code is server.port=8085
And update Maven Project then run application
