Error creating server listener on port 5269: Address already in use: JVM_Bind

Openfire Openfire Support

I am getting this error anytime I try to start openfire console. Everything was working fine yesterday, then Windows 2003 R2 SE did an update. On server restart everything was broken.

Now I can start the service via command prompt, but nothing seems to be working. here are the two scenarios:

  1. Start openfire as a service in Windows 2003 R2 SE - successful
    Open the openfire console - failure

     **Error creating server listener on port 5269: Address already in use: JVM_Bind**
           *          Openfire 3.5.2 *
           *          Admin console listening at:*
           *            http://server.com:9090*
           *            https://server.com:9091*
           *          Error starting server listener on port 5269: null* 

 Clicking "Launch Admin" - successful (opens and allows to login)

 Connect to server using client (pidgin) - failure 

 **not authorized**

  2. Stop openfire service - successful
    Open the openfire console - successful

     **Openfire 3.5.2 **
           *          Admin console listening at:*
           *            http://server.com:9090*
           *            https://server.com:9091* 

 Clicking "Launch Admin" - successful (opens and allows to login) 

 Connect to server using client (pidgin) - failure 

 **not authorized**

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nicholas,

when the service is running you should not start the Openfire console as it starts also Openfire. Simply open http://server.com:9090* in your browser.

Do you see errors in the log files? Do you still see all users in the database?

I got same problem. When i go to session tab, then i cant see any of the sessions. On user group all seems offline even they r online and chattin with me.

And i see flash cross domain port 0. Before there was some value.

All addresses
0

Flash Cross Domain
Service that allows Flash clients connect to other hostnames and ports.

Any suggestions wil be greately appreciated.

Hi,

is it possible that Openfire runs two times? Check this in the task manager or with “ps -ef”. After shutdown of Openfire the port 5269 should no longer be used. If it’s still used look for other running (java) applications which may use this port.
