failed to bind to port

A friend gets the '[WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!' error. I've tried using lan ip, public ip and blank ip in the server.properties
There is no java.exe/javaw.exe running in the background and he isn't behind a router. He had a hamachi server before moving to bukkit, and the server was running fine. When I use my lan IP in server.properties I connect only through my LAN ip. When I leave it blank, no one can connect. When I use my own IP, it doesn't even start the server.

(I did everything through TeamViewer)

 

Blank is fine, run "nestat -a" to see processes running on ports and check if it really is not used.

 

I have the same problem but im not sure what you mean by "run "nestat -a" to see processes running on ports"

 

Run a command prompt and type the command "netstat -a" and look for the TCP port 25565. If it is on the list try running the command "netstat -b" to determine what program is using the port so you can kill it then try running the server again.

 

Port 25565 was not on the "netstat -a" list and when I tryed "netstat -b" it just said "The requested operation requires elevation"

 

What OS are you on? I'm assuming Windows 7 or Vista.

You need to run the command prompt as an administrator, and then run the netstat commands.

 

Port 25565 was not in either list.

 

I don't know if it'll make a difference, but is Windows firewall turned off?

What OS are you running on?
Antivirus?

 

you need to end the java.exe or javaw.exe process that is already running...

 

If you had actually read the initial post, you would see that had already been covered.

 

Sorry this is the 4-5th post today with this problem, sorry for the generic answer.

 

No worries, I know it gets annoying. It seems every 13 year old out there wants to run a minecraft server.

(This is not a reference to OP)

 

When i type "netstat -a" or "netstat -b" nothing happens. just a bunch of errors pop up and they are the same errors that pop up when i type anything in.

 

I have the same problem too, yesterday, everything worked fine, but now it also says that i couldnt bind to the port.
When I putted the command netstat -a I also couldnt find TCP 25565, and when i putted netstat -b, it said that i didnt was admin, but i am admin of my computer... plz someone help me with this problem.

 

I did everything, there is no port running 25565! and I tried again still failed to bind and no java.exe is not running?

 

me to i have the same problem

 

You have to run CMD prompt as admin, type cmd into the search bar, right click, Run as Administrator. It doesn't automatically run in admin for security reasons.
