Handle.Net Server Set up

[Ayuka Phanuel]

Our handle server has been working fine then stop after we changed the database name.

We have reconfigured the handle server but it can not start. I am getting the error below:

Shutting down...
"2019/12/06 03:08:12 WAT" 100 class net.handle.server.HdlUdpInterface: Error setting up server socket: java.net.BindException: Address already in use (Bind failed)

Dear Phanuel,

"Address already in use" means that some program is already listening on the IP:port that your handle service is configured for. Could be TCP ports 2641 or 8000, or UDP port 2641. Check on Linux with:

$ sudo lsof -i -n -P | grep -E '(2641|8000)'

Thanks Alan,

With the above command I was able to identify the processes  using the two ports and killed them. Handle server is now running fine.

Kind Regards,
