ConnectException during deploying application to Mule ESB

Question

Could anybody explain the reasons of the next ConnectException during deploying application on Mule ESB? What i am doing: 1. I am package application in my local Anypoint studio 2. Logging via RDP to Mule Server 3. Copy it into app folder after deleting the app anchor. After I restart server this exception does not repeat (during first deploy).
May be port is busy by another application, but nobody use the same port… So exception text: Exception stack is:

1. Address already in use: JVM_Bind (java.net.BindException) java.net.TwoStacksPlainSocketImpl:-2 (null)
2. Address already in use: JVM_Bind (java.net.BindException) (org.mule.transport.ConnectException)
   org.mule.transport.http.HttpConnectionManager:73 ( http://www.mulesoft.org/docs/site/current3/apidocs/org/mule/transport/ConnectException.html ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Root Exception stack trace: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind at java.net.TwoStacksPlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method) at java.net.TwoStacksPlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Unknown Source) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.bind(Unknown Source)
   • 3 more (set debug level logging or '-Dmule.verbose.exceptions=true' for everything)

Answer 1

Try to locate the PID, where your port is running.

Issue a command to kill that process and release the port.
