    6:31:38 PM [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!
    6:31:38 PM [WARNING] The exception was: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: JVM_Bind
    6:31:38 PM [WARNING] Perhaps a server is already running on that port?

    This come up every time I try to start my server. Please help.

    This has happened to me a few times before.

    If you're using a host, such as BeastNode, just contact them.

    Otherwise, if you're using a home build do the following:

    1. Completely shut off the computer hosting the server (and keep it off)
    2. Reset your router
    3. Turn on the computer
    4. Relaunch the server

    Most of the time, that resolves the issue for me. Good luck!

    A couple of things to check.
    In your server properties file the server-ip address should be left blank and the server-port address should be left as 25565.

    Ensure that there are no other servers or programs running on that port. You may have left a server open and not noticed, then restarted it. Having two instances of the same server open will cause a binding issue.
