When you run multiple FlexNet Code Insight (FNCI) instances on the same system, each instance must use ports that aren't already in use.
If one FNCI instance is already running as a service and you install another instance, Tomcat might fail to start because the new instance attempts to use a port allocated to the existing instance.
The following error might appear in
catalina.out:apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.await
StandardServer.await: create[localhost:8005]:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind
To resolve the conflict, configure the additional FNCI instance to use ports that don't conflict with the existing instance.
Solution
Important: All these settings/configurations are required to be done on the second instance (the other instance that is on another drive)
-
Stop Tomcat for the FNCI instance that you want to configure.
-
Open the following file for that instance:<FNCI_INSTALL_DIR>/tomcat/conf/server.xml
-
Locate the Tomcat server port configuration and change the port to an available port.For example:<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
-
Locate the HTTP connector and configure it to use an available port.For example:<Connector port="9999" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
-
Locate the AJP connector and configure it to use an available port.For example:<Connector port="8084" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />
-
If the
redirectPortalso conflicts with a port used by another instance, configure an appropriate available redirect port. -
Save
server.xml. -
Restart Tomcat.
-
Access the FNCI instance by using the HTTP connector port configured for that instance. For example, if you configured port
9999, use port9999when accessing FNCI.
