Cannot open socket - Listen fails

i installed jdk2 and jsdk2.0 on win95. when i ran SERVLETRUNNER which comes with jsdk2.0 i get the following Exception

java.net.SocketException : Descriptor not a socket Listen failed.
with a stack trace printed out in Standard output

is there a problem with jvm i installed jrun and uninstalled as it too was not able to open a socket to listen.

Thanks
arun.

Hi,
Generally Servletrunner is trying to connect to 8080 port. If that port is occupied by some other process, servletrunner won't start. Try changing the port of the servletrunner (setup files u will get in c:/jsdk2.0/examples) and run the servletrunner

Hi ,

It is not port problem.

If it is so, it will give already bind exception

If U still face, some problem

run Your servlets with this command

servletrunner -d c:\Yourdir -v

wher yourdir is the directory where U are wishing to run servlets.

Otherwise U have to put your servlets in c:\jdsk\examples

because servletrunner will run servlerts in c:\jsdk\examples

when i installed java1.1 it worked but with jdk2 its not working what may be the problem.
its not the port problem as said by ravindra. ravindra security is all the same in the file u mentioned i checked it up but directory is too not the problem. please suggest another way to tackle the problem

thanks

try first

1.ping localhost

      If it succeeds ,

2. Type ipconfig

3. Then try

      ping ipaddress

      where ipaddress is the system ip address given in ipconfig

If both failed means something problem in Your system networking drivers.

Reinstall TCP/IP drivers
