An application server may already be running on host localhost

Question

I'm working on a web project where JBoss Application Server is used for deployment. I'm getting the below message once I start the server.

An application server may already be running on host localhost

Web Poller found a running server at url http://localhost:8080

I couldn't find any entries on netstat command on process which uses port 8080.

Tried the solution mentioned in this question as well.

For Linux

Try below

 ps -ef|grep jboss

now if jboss running it will return pid take that pid and run below command

kill -9 pid

For Windows

ALT+CTRL+DELETE

and start task manager & then search for javaw.exe service and close it

Notice the `windows` tag. – m0skit0 Jul 20 '15 at 10:52
javaw.exe is not in the running services list – AvenashKrish Jul 20 '15 at 11:02
then try to kill `java.exe` server wont work if jvm is not running – Subodh Joshi Jul 20 '15 at 11:03
java.exe entry is also not there. – AvenashKrish Jul 20 '15 at 11:04
Did u run server standalone or with some `IDE` ? And `IDE` crashed or down and server was running is this the scenario for you? – Subodh Joshi Jul 20 '15 at 11:06
I hope so. I tried running the server from eclipse. But I didn't have a problem of crashing. – AvenashKrish Jul 20 '15 at 11:11

Never use `kill -9 pid` unless `kill pid` `kill -term pid` or `kill -15 pid` (all of which are equivalent) does not work. `kill -9` pulls the rug out from under your application (perhaps leaving your database or other resource in an inconsistent state) whereas the other options tell the process to commence an orderly shutdown. – Steve C Jul 20 '15 at 13:12

The Port is under listenning by a JVM, you should look for the entries of JVM in the result of your netstat command.

Please explain how the OP can do what you have described. You basically said "If you want to sit, build a chair" without explaining what a chair is, or how to build one. – Tschallacka Jul 20 '15 at 13:23
