Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • JBoss fails to start because of conflict with port 7500
  • We can confirm there is no other instances of JBoss running on box and there is nothing configured to use port 7500 but we are seeing an error message:

    WARN [org.jgroups.protocols.UDP] failed to  join /224.0.75.75:7500 on eth0: SocketException: Address already in use 
    
  • The following exceptions appear in the server.log file:
