Problems with Selenium

[Ants Pants]

I will join/write to the selenium mailing list and pose the same question but I have to catch a flight now and so don't have time. So a quick post here.

If I start Selenium thus ..... java -jar .gem/ruby/1.8/gems/webrat-0.7.1/vendor/selenium-server.jar

and run my cukes, then everything runs and my tests pass. At the end, Selenium has been stopped.

==> Waiting for rails application server on port 3001... Ready!
** !!! PID file /home/path/GMFT/trunk/tmp/pids/mongrel_selenium.pid already exists.  Mongrel could be running already.  Check your log/mongrel.log for errors.
** !!! Exiting with error.  You must stop mongrel and clear the .pid before I'll attempt a start.

(it then goes on to run all  tests successfully)

If I just run cukes without Selenium running, it will start it, the browser will open up but then crash. Does anyone have any pointers, please.

read exceptions carefully:

14:02:26.932 WARN - Failed to start: SocketL...@0.0.0.0:4444
Exception in thread "main" java.net.BindException: Selenium is already
running on port 4444. Or some other service is.

other process runs on this port, probably another instance of selenium
