[Flex] RTMP-Server failed to start up

[Former Community Member]

Hi All,



I am trying to run Flex Data Services as a Tomcat 5.5.17
Server under Eclipse 3.1.2 WTP. When I start the server in Eclipse
I get the following error:



[Flex] RTMP-Server failed to start up:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind

flex.messaging.endpoints.rtmp.RTMPException: The RTMP server
has encountered a fatal exception starting up: Address already in
use: bind

at
flex.messaging.endpoints.rtmp.BaseNIORTMPServer.run(BaseNIORTMPServer.java:310)

at java.lang.Thread.run()V(Unknown Source)



I have tried changing the services-config.xml RTMPChange port
to about 10 different ports, and this hasn't resolved the issue:



<channel-definition id="my-rtmp"
class="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel">

<endpoint uri="rtmp://{server.name}:9876"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/>



When I run Tomcat outside of the Eclipse, this web
application starts fine and no errors are logged.



Other environment details are: Windows XP, JDK 1.4.2_10

You are only deploying one Flex web application on Tomcat?
Maybe the web application is getting deployed twice for some
reason.



Have you tried looking at what ports are in use prior to
starting the server in Eclipse? This might be a good sanity test.
Running "netstat -a" will give you this on Windows.



We usually see this when two web applications have the same
channel configuration information by mistake. Not sure what is up
in this case.
