Exception creating the server socket: java.net.BindException: Can't assign requested address

Song Yun Keun — Sat, 16 Aug 2003 01:13:05 GMT

I had a problem once and I worry that it will happen later.

The Ploblem is Apache Jserv is not executed with bellow messages in log.

"AacheJServ/1.1.2: Exception creating the server socket: java.net.BindException: Can't assign requested address"

After server rebooted, It worked.

In addition to this ploblem, There had been a case several times that Apache Process is not killed.
It is also workded after rebooting.

Does anyone have any solution for this kind of ploblem?

OS version is HP-UX 11.11

Hi,

Did you ever find the solution to this problem (except rebooting) ?
If so, could you please provide us with an answer, because we've got the same problem.

Thanks

It will be a good idea to see the netstat -an o/p. Are there too many sockets in CLOSE_WAIT state ?. If there are , then there is a chance to run out of number of sockets ! so that it is not able to create more sockets.

Also try increasing "nfile" parameter to a higher value. It has a direct relatios as unix treats a sopcket as an open file.

Regds,
