21:05:03 [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
21:05:03 [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Address already in
use: JVM_Bind
21:05:03 [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?

9. What have you tried already?Deleting java in tskmng

10. Have you tried any of the things below?yes

 

That error happens when the server can not connect to the port. Either you have not opened it of your firewall is blocking the connection.

 

My firewall is off and I put up a port in my router but it still won't work

 

The error only comes up when the server can't connect to the port. Check over thing as it could be your anti virus software.

 

I got norton and disabled the anti-virus.

 

so you portforwarded and it still like that? id check the port forward again,and maybe the 1pv4 address on it

 

The IPv4 address is correct using cmd and typing ipconfig

 

Would you like me to help you via teamviewer? (If yes, send in a PM)

 

Solved Darky helped!

 

I could use some help! XDshadowDX: how did you solve the problem?

 

Oh do you have team viewer?

 

yesssss

How did you fix it before?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

You need to have your team viewer open so I can connect

 

This is not true. Even when all ports are blocked, the server is still able to listen to a certain port. There's just no data coming through that port.

On Topic: lpw96 and dylpick1 Some other process is using port 25565. If you are on windows, try finding out which program that is by typing netstat -ab | findstr 25565
into a cmd.

 

In server.properties, server-ip must be left blank.

 

im having the same problem can someone help me with team viewer?

 

I managed to fix this. Open your server.properties file and change the server-port number (I used 25564). I suspect the server refuses to open at 25565 when you have already opened Minecraft. Remember to add the new port number when connecting to your server (e.g. 127.0.0.1:25564).

 

This has just happened to me :/ can one of you guys help me on teamviewer?
