CruiseControl cannot get web interface to work

Question

On a fresh installation of CruiseControl, every single time I start CruiseControl, I get the following two exceptions thrown:

ontrollerAgent- Exception starting httpAdaptor
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)

ontrollerAgent- Exception starting connectorServer
java.io.IOException: Cannot bind to URL [jrmp]: javax.naming.NameAlreadyBoundException: jrmp [Root exception is java.rmi.AlreadyBoundException: jrmp]
        at javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectorServer.newIOException(Unknown Source)

Before and after these nothing seems to (obviously) go wrong. And as a result, I cannot view the web dashboard of CruiseControl. Any ideas on what is going wrong here?

Answer 1

It looks like you just have another application server running on your machine that uses the same ports as your cruise control server. Do you deploy Cruise Control on a new server? What server is it?

Try to stop all the servers on your machine and try to launch cruise control again.

Answer 2

Do you have any Java program still running at the time of CC starting?

As illustrated in this thread:

I've noticed when I restart cruisecontrol I need to kill any remaining java programs or a port class error will occur. The solution is to:

• Stop cruisecontrol
• Kill any remaining cvs and java programs.
• Wait 30 seconds.
• Start cruisecontrol.

The OP bguiz adds in the comments his own recipe:

• Stop CruiseControl
• Kill any remaining cvs and java programs.
• Restart computer,
• sc delete CruiseControl,
• wrapper -i wrapper.conf.
• Start CruiseControl
