Activemq can't run due to address already in use error

Question

How to solve the error?

Java Runtime: Oracle Corporation 1.7.0_05 E:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_05\\jre

Answer 1

I faced the same problem with the error being:

ERROR | Failed to start ActiveMQ JMS Message Broker (localhost, null). Reason: java.io.IOException: Transport Connector could not be registered in JMX: Failed to bind to server socket: tcp://0.0.0.0:61616 due to: java.net.BindException: Address already in use

Following steps maybe useful:

1. find the process id that is using this port (in your case, 61616). In command promt write: netstat -a -o -n and look at the process id.
2. Next kill the process from Task Manager or taskkill /F /PID "process id"
