Unable to Connect to the Websphere Server in RAD

[sudhakar aligeti]

Hi All,

I am unable to start the Websphere Server due to the below Exception
Conflict detected on port 8882. Likely causes: a) An instance of
the server server1 is already running b) some other process is
using port 8882
ADMU3027E: An instance of the server may already be running: server1
ADMU0111E: Program exiting with error:
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: ADMU3027E: An
instance of the server may already be running: server1

Below are the steps that I followed :

I have Killed the java.exe processes through Task Manager.
I disabled "IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 Service" in Administrative Tools>Services.
I removed all profiles and I have created new servers with new profiles also for resolving this problem.
(When I am creating a new profile it creates new port number even that port number also conflicts the server)
I have Rebooted the system even its not working.
I Restarted the server and system so many times no use .

I have Updated the RAD & I updated the UpdateInstaller to latest, and installed latest Fix Pack to
WebSphere, but nothing changes.

Still I am facing the same problem, after installation of the RAD.
I have tried in all the possible ways still I didn’t find any solution

Note : We are maintaining 6 Applications and we are creating different profiles for each application.
This problem is coming in all workspace suddenly.


Please suggest Anyone...

Thanks in Advance.

Welcome to the Ranch!

I assume you're on Windows, since you've mentioned Task Manager. On Windows, you should be able to run the command netstat -abo to see which executable uses which port (on newer versions of Windows you'll need to start cmd.exe with admin privileges for this). This will print out the name of the executable file and the ID of the process for each open port. Using this information you should be able to track down the process that has the port open.

If you have a third party firewall software installed, it is possible that you could find out this information on some screen of that firewall.
