Error in Catalina log: "Failed to create server shutdown socket on address [localhost] and port [9005] (base port [9005] and offset [0]) java.net.BindException: Address already in use (Bind failed)"

Error in Catalina log: "Failed to create server shutdown socket on address [localhost] and port [9005] (base port [9005] and offset [0]) java.net.BindException: Address already in use (Bind failed)"

It is not possible to access the Spotfire Server Admin UI.
In, <spotfire installation directory>\tomcat\logs, you may find the catalina.log with error:

"SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.await Failed to create server shutdown socket on address [localhost] and port [9005] (base port [9005] and offset [0])"

 

Something else is listening on shutdown port 9005.

To resolve it, you may either
- find out what is listening on that port and disable/change port for it
or
- modify server shutdown port from 9005 to some other port that is open and free.

The port value can be changed in server.xml file located in <Spotfire Server Installation director>\tomcat\conf
