6.21 The Administration Console Does Not Start After Restoring It

After restoring the Administration Console with the backup file, it does not start and gives the following exception:

SEVERE: Error starting endpoint
java.net.BindException: Address already in use:8080
    at
org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.initEndpoint(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:298)

To workaround this issue, do the following:

  1. Remove the following line from the /var/opt/novell/tomcat5/conf/server.xml file before installing the Identity Server:

    <Connector NESP_Name="espsslvpn" URIEncoding="utf-8" acceptCount="0"
address="127.0.0.1" className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteConnector"
debug="0" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxProcessors="200"
maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="200" minSpareThreads="25" port="8080"
secure="true" useBodyEncodingURI="false"/>

  2. Install the Identity Server.

    The Administration Console successfully comes up.
