I had a “adobe@9” server instance running on box about a week or so back. I didn’t rip out the JVM like docs say for CF9 since I’m not worried about the “official” support. I know CF9 runs on 1.8u102 which is in the jre folder for box.
Today I go to start the instance and get a “Cannot assign requested address: JVM_Bind”. This appears to be an error when the JVM can’t start on the requested port.
If I move to a new dir and start an instance with all default values it runs.
The error is in C:\Users\me.CommandBox\cfml\system\services\ServerService.cfc: line 1371
I need more info. If the HTTP port is in use, CommandBox will just pick a new one for you. Which port then was in use? Where did you see this message? Are you on the latest version of CommandBox?
I did an “upgrade” command and it said it was the latest. Sorry - didn’t write down what version.
I saw this message after typing “start” [enter].
I did “start”, without a defined port, a few times thinking it was select another random port. That didn’t work. I also tried changing ports such as “start port=8080” and started working my way up like 8081 etc. That didn’t work either.
I ended up removing my .CommandBox directory and my box directory for a fresh start. Then reinstalled box. It’s working using port 50639 on version 3.8.0+00766.
I’m going to shut it down and reboot and see what happens.
Hmm, I’d need to see the full unabridged console output of what is happening when you start the server. “didn’t work” is a little hard to decipher Also double check that your hostname actually exists. That can cause issues if you’re missing a host file entry. Also, older versions of CommandBox didn’t have as good support for detecting if the ports were in use, so it’s possible upgrading CommandBox helped you
Ah-ha. I thought I ruled out the host name by removing it from server.json before I reinstalled. But apparently not.
I added back in the host name and it failed. The reason not being that it didn’t exist in the hosts file, but that the IP was no longer assigned to my machine.
Once I corrected the IP binding, it worked. Thanks for your help Brad!
On to figuring out how to keep DSN’s intact after instance start/stops on CF9.
Ah yes, that will do it. Unfortunately, Java does not give a way to test and see if a port is in use, so the only way we can check is to try to bind to it in a try/catch and see if it errors out. That means that sometimes a port will error for other reasons even when it’s not bound to. If you look at this code here, you can see that I already have checks for several specific error types in place to try and combat this:
If you wouldn’t mind debugging a bit, I’d be interested in seeing exactly what exception was being thrown for you and why it didn’t trigger any of those checks in the catch blocks.

Ahh, that full stack trace tells me a lot more information! The issue wasn’t in the code that detects whether or not the port is in use, but the code that tries to get the next random port available from the operating system. Since it needs to bind to the host/IP that get a port, it was erroring because the IP wasn’t assigned to a local network adapter. In theory, maybe we could incorporate some of the checks that I linked to below into that method to try and produce a better error message. Unfortunately, the exceptions I get from Java are fairly crap.
Or maybe we could devise some checks (that will run across all operating systems) that can be used to validate a host entry to check for common issues before actually trying to bind to it. Then at least we could provide a more useful error message than the one Java gives.
Also double check that your hostname actually exists. That can cause issues if you’re missing a host file entry. Also, older versions of CommandBox didn’t have as good support for detecting if the ports were in use, so it’s possible upgrading CommandBox helped you
