Last Published: April 25, 2020

Error Message

When starting the ArcGIS or ArcIMS Java Web Manager application, the following error enters the manager logfile:

"java.net.BindException: Address already in use"

Cause

By default, the ArcGIS and ArcIMS Java Web Manager applications use the following ports:

ArcIMS Web Manager: 8098

If any of these ports are already being used by another application, this error occurs.

Solution or Workaround
