Internal problem, starting server

hpl123

Hi support,
I tried to restart my server (Aware IM server) today and got the following error message:

There was an internal problem while starting the server. Please report the following error message to Awaresoft: Failed to bind to server socket: tcp://localhost:61616 due to: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind

After trying it again the problem went away. I have been experiencing some issues the last couple of days, can this be related i.e. there might be some iissues somewhere?

Thanks

Follow up. This error occurs every time I try to restart Aware IM server from the control panel. If I press "Shutdown Server" and then try to press "Start Server" again, this error message (last post) is displayed.

Thanks

After using " Shutdown Server" try to close the app using the red cross sign at the right side before launching again. The error is due to the fact that some components are still running on background.

That works but the thing is, I usually shutdown and startup the server from the control panel and I have never had this issue before so there might be something not working as it should?

In build 1802 we have removed the Shutdown Server button as it doesn't function correctly. You have to close the Control Panel to restart.

Great, thanks.
