JVM_Bind error when trying to start Ebase Designer (Tomcat)

[Sarah]

When trying to start the Ebase Designer, the following error appears in the server log:

Code: Select all

What does this error mean?

[Sarah]

This error appears when an instance of Tomcat is already running on the same port.

For example, someone who was getting this error discovered that an old version of Ebase was on that server and Tomcat was starting as a Windows Service. Stopping this unused system cleared the problem.
