error binding stream socket error

John Jimenez — Wed, 22 Oct 2003 11:13:31 GMT

Does any one know how to clear a port. the following port on /etc/services cannot be started

pro5srv 1100/tcp

I get this error

server: error binding stream socket: Address already in use

The only suggestion my database knowledge base. says is to use port 1101. Can I make changes to /etc/services without rebooting on 11i? I would rather clear port 1100. Is there any command that will blow away what ever seems stuck on this port?

Hi John,

You need to determine the process that's binding that port & halt it.
You can use lsof to determine the process - available at:

I ftp'd if from the web site to my PC and then to my Server. but it was a .gz and not a .Z file and the uncompress command would not unzip it. So I unzipped it on my PC and then ftp'd it (binary) to the server. Unzipping it on my PC maybe corrupted the file. How do you uncompress a .gz file?
Thanks again

gzip will do it.

gunzip

If you are using 64bit, then check the attachment.
Or you can get it here

Awsome the gunzip worked great, and now the swinstall worked.
I have never ran lsof, does any one know what syntax to use to determine what process is using this port? If not I will go thgrough the man pages.

Thanks again for your help

John,
Check the -i option of lsof. I have used it long back. Consult the man pages for exact details.

U.S. you were right it looks like I have to deinstall install and reinstall the 64 bit. I got this error

RP7410:root /tmp => #lsof -i tcp:1100
lsof: FATAL: lsof was built for a 32 bit kernel, but this is a 64 bit kernel.

U.S. Sorry to keep bother everyone, but this is not a depot file. How do I install it?

John,
Try the ftp site. I dont have a ftp access. I got this 64bit lsof saved in my machine when somebody posted to this to one of the threads.

try this (courtesy Pete, from my bookmarks)

you can use at is. It is not a depot file.

It looks like I am using the wrong executable still

RP7410:root /usr/bin => #lsof -i tcp:1100
lsof: WARNING: compiled for HP-UX release B.11.00; this is B.11.11.

Hi,

Try this link:
http://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/sysutils/lsof/binaries/hpux/B.11.11/

I don't have HP-UX 11i, so I'm afraid I can't test it.

I will go ahead and try to install it today.
Yesterday at about 4 PM the operating system released port 1100, but next time I will have the lsof to find out what it going on. Thanks a lot for everyones help
