Error:Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 127.0.0.1 port 7011
I was performing the OAM WebGate installation on Oracle HTTP Server 1.x today. After installation, when I restart the http server component, it is failing with an error message shown below.
opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes…
___________________
0 of 1 processes started.
ias-component/process-type/process-set:
HTTP_Server/HTTP_Server/HTTP_Server/
Error
–> Process (pid=2638)
failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limitWhen I look into error log at location ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/logs , it shows the error given below.
Error:Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 127.0.0.1 port 7011
.
Cause:
There is a process running already on this port.
Solution:
Search for httpd processes running by executing: ps -ef | grep httpd
Kill all those process and HTTP Server should start fine.
Else, follow the below steps.
- Login as root user
- Executed this command sudo lsof -i:7011
- Kill all the processes that are output of the previous command
- exit as root user
- Login as appropriate user who has privileges to restart HTTP Server
- stop the http server as opmnctl stopproc process-type=HTTP_Server
- start the http server as opmnctl startproc process-type=HTTP_Server
Now the server has started smoothly.
