Cannot start tomcat in Eclipse [message #542109] Wed, 23 June 2010 21:22 Go to next message

I have searched far and wide for anyone having the same issue, only problems where people cannot start because ports are already in use. So here goes.

Setup:
Windows 7
Eclipse Helios (same issue with Galileo)
Apache Tomcat 6.0.26

Error message from console:
------------
SEVERE: Error initializing endpoint
java.net.SocketException: Socket operation on nonsocket: JVM_Bind
------------

I have checked that none of the ports needed 8080, 8005, 8009 is used before and after opening Eclipse, by checking with netstat.

Once I start Tomcat in Eclipse the error message appears and the ports are taken by Tomcat, but I cannot access the service.

What is really odd, is that I can start Tomcat using the startup.bat file and it runs fine.

Thanks
Tommy

This is not one I've seen. If this Tomcat is not from a downloaded zip
or tar.gz, or if its configuration has been customized, you can try
creating a fresh Tomcat from a zip or tag.gz. Then see if Eclipse has
the same issue with that one. When the Tomcat plug-ins create a new
Tomcat server, the current server.xml will be imported from the Tomcat
installation. There can be customizations present that cause problems
within Eclipse because they require additional configuration beyond what
the plug-ins know how to import. This experiment would eliminate that
as the cause.

Cheers,
Larry

Hi Larry, thanks for your reply, it is a vanilla installation.

I got Tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/

apache-tomcat-6.0.26-windows-x86.zip

And I was thinking the same thing and tried also to use "apache-tomcat-6.0.14.zip" as I have used that one before on Windows XP.

Also as a side note I use jdk-6u20-windows-i586.exe

Some more notes on what I tried
* Enabled/disabled UAC just to see if that helped or would pop up an alert (no difference as result of that).
On "eclipse.exe" and "javaw.exe" (the one eclipse uses to launch tomcat) checked them to run as Administrator
* Enabled/disabled Windows XP compatiblity mode on javaw.exe
* Checked firewall (f-secure), did not see any blocks, and even unloaded it for a few attempts.

One thing that was interesting was,I tried disabling the containers in the server.xml (8080 and 8443) so it only ran the shutdown (8005) and then it started without the JVM_Bind error, but eclipse would still complain that the server did not start (after the default 45 seconds).

Update, as I am still at a lost on this problem

I have checked many more things, but still no luck, and I ran into another problem which seem to tell a little more about was may be the core issue.

I cannot run JUnit (junit4) tests. I will run fine, but no success/failed. I tried then running JUnit with debugging and Eclipse gave the following message:

----
Cannot connect to VM
Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind
----

Searching on this, I found that it possible that Eclipse is launching a different JVM that it cannot connect to. So I went to work on my PATH, and made sure that there was only the same JAVA available as I am using inside Eclipse. But no luck however.

Unfortunately, since I'm not able to duplicate this it is hard to offer
much help. If you are still having a problem, does starting Tomcat in
debug mode result in the same kind of behavior as JUnit, or can it start
with just 8005 in use?

Cheers,
Larry

Hi again Larry, thanks for the effort, good idea, I had not thought of that.

So as you suggested I tried debug the server with just the 8005, and then it fails immediately with the following message.

Not that it says a whole lot, but it seems to me it is perhaps less of a Tomcat issue, and more an Eclipse issue. Well for now I will just have to run Tomcat using the batch script. That Junit does not work do bug me a bit though.

Also with regards to JUnit, I tried getting another Eclipse Helios, that only have basic Java (eclipse-java-helios-win32.zip), and problem is exactly the same.

Also (even further out, but never know what information is useful), I installed Oracle Weblogic 11g last week, and I can run the portal domain there from within "Eclipse for Weblogic" without any problems at all.

Dear Tommy
I seem to have the same problem. It occurs since I updated from Galileo to Helios. The ports seems always to be taken. I did not have this problem with Galileo, so I think it is well an Eclipse issue.
Best regards, Johannes

Hi Johannes, good to hear I am not entirely alone with this problem.

I am afraid I have not found a solution yet, but will post it here, if I ever do find out.

Two more things to the list of exploration.

I installed Oracle ATS (an Eclipse Galileo based testing tool) and it has the same issue with the server it launches.

And, since Oracle Weblogic worked fine, I tried using JRockit for the standard Eclipse (both as JAVA_HOME and as the JRE used), but same problem persisted.

Best regards
Tommy

Dear Tommy

Thanks for your response. Luckily, the problem has disappeared from the workspace where encountered it, at least for now. I deleted the offending server, rebooted the machine and recreated the server. Since this time the server behaves as it was in Galileo. Of course I have not understood what happened and am afraid it may recur. I had a PermGen out-of-memory error at some stage. Perhaps this had something to do with it.

Best regards, Johannes

Dear Tommy
The problem just recurred and I advanced a bit in its understanding.
I am running Tomcat outside of Eclipse on ports 8080, 8009 and 8005 and inside on ports 9090, 9009 and 9005. When Eclipse reported that the ports were taken, I looked up the file "server.xml" of the external Tomcat (C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\conf) and found that the ports were changed to 9090, 9009 and 9005. I have not touched that file. How they could have been changed I do not understand. I changed them back to 8080, 8009 and 8005, restarted Tomcat in the Windows Services panel and was fine.
I wonder whether the same is happening on your machine. Besides, mine is a laptop running under Windows XP.

Best regards, Johannes

If you selected, even temporarily, the "Use Tomcat Installation (takes
control of Tomcat installation)" option for the Server Location in the
server editor, it would overwrite the server.xml in your installation
with the one under the Servers project in your workspace. This is the
meaning of "takes control of Tomcat installation". That's the only way
I know of that would "transfer" those port settings.

Cheers,
Larry

For what it's worth, I install separate, private copies of the Sun JDK
and Apache Tomcat for dedicated use with Eclipse. That way, no matter
what else I might have occasion to do on my development host, nothing is
there to interfere or confuse me when writing code (apart from my own,
recurring moments of stupidity).

It's probably a better idea NOT to hijack this thread, Aswini. Start a
new one.

In the meantime, you don't give enough to go on. You're probably missing
one or more Tomcat libraries.

Do you have questions on how to set up Tomcat and Eclipse?

Hi Johannes and Larry, thanks for your suggestions and hints I tried and looked if any of those were the problem.

I am using workspace as the location. I tried switching the port 8080 to port 48080, to see if somehow I was using the default server configuration from the tomcat install dir, and that was not the problem.

I could not figure out what you meant precisely by the "Server Editor" until I in the Servers tab selected Properties on the server, and then chose "Switch Location"

Changing it from "[workspace metadata]" to "/servers/Tomcat/... at localhost", then it appears under the Tomcat server configuration in the Project Explorer.

And in there it is set to "Use Workspace Metadata".

I find it a little odd, that the "Server Editor" does not appear all the time, since the setting is managed from the "Server Editor" anyway.

Best regards
Tommy

To get to the server editor, double-click the server in the Servers
view, or right-click it and select Open. The "Switch Location" is for
choosing where to store the metadata about the server configuration.
For additional details see the Tomcat_FAQ[1].

Cheers,
Larry

If you still did not find the root cause of JVM binding.
Maybe you can have a check on the JREs, to see if they are identical, The java_home, the jvm to start eclipse, the specific JRE of the java project, and the runtime jre setting.
I suffered similar JVM binding issue when I mixed IBM JRE and Sun JRE in developing.


Cheers

I am also having this issue. I upgrade from helios to indigo, and it keeps telling me my shutdown port is JVM bind. If I change my server xml to use 8006 or 8007 same thing. What is the resolution ?

Are you changing the server.xml down under the Server's project in
Eclipse? That's the one you need to be changing. You can change is
using the server editor. Double-click on the server in the Servers view
to open the server editor.

Might want to check that Window 7 firewall isn't blocking the port, or some virus scanner is blocking it either.

I been stuck for a while with this issue , after reading all these posts, i figure it out by

Thank all ...for triggering this.. Cool
