    (sorry if i posted this in the wrong area, i dont use forums pretty much at all)

    i know there are alot of these (i looked and looked for a fix but couldn't find 1 anywhere)
    when i start up my server i get a "failed to bind to port" i know the port isn't being used and works
    (25565 doesn't work and my terraria server works fine (7777 witch i use for terraria and ARMA2 doesn't bind with bukkit neather does 25565) i cant figure this out for the life for me and neather can my friend who knows alot about servers and java script

    "Failed to bind to port" - The Server is unable to use the port defined in the server.properties as it's being used by another program.

    Two options;
    1) Change the port, even if it's just to 25566
    2) Have a look and fine what program could be running on port 25565
    Do check what program could be using it, go to CMD and type
    netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:25565

    If something shows up (Eg: TCP 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2984), go to Task Manager > Services and look the number(2984) under the PID colum, that will tell you the program.

    see if in the backround theres a server running allready.
    alt ctrl delete
    then click processes.
    look for a minecraft process.
    then click it and then click end task.

    there is nothing using the port at all, iv tried 4 different ports, even opened a random port on another computer and ran a bukkit server through that, i still got the failed to bind to port, the port works for other games like terraria and ARMA2, just minecraft, bukkit or normal doesn't matter, the port does not bind.
