FAILED TO BIND THE PORT (Linux)

I have the following problem with my openSUSE 12.1!
I want to host a Bukkit Server on this machine.
My problem is he does not start the server!
Here is a log of my server:

195 recipes
27 achievements

Can you help me??
Thanks in advance!

 

Not sure if you have already fixed this.
Open the shell and type 'fuser -n tcp 25565'.

You should get something like this.
25565/tcp: 17169

The 17169 is the pidnumber, your will be different than the one I posted here.

Then just use 'kill -9 pidnumber' where the pidnumber is replaced by the one you have.

Hope this helps.

 

As ibab eluded to, you seem to have another server, or possibly application, using port 25565 already.

 

If I "fuser-n tcp 25565" Add the, then I get no response from the server!
And then if I want to start the server then comes the same thing again!
If I have to take the picture without root then please say!

And at a different port!

 

What version of Java?

 

Can you tell me how to retrieve the java version?

 

Type:
java -version

 

"java version" 1.5.0 "
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.7.1 20120723 [gcc-4_7-branch revision 189773]

If my version is too old what do I need to do (I'm a noob in this)

 

I run a liunx server and this is what I do, but don't quote me because I could be wrong for you.

Open the shell and type htop then hit f9 and scroll up to SIGKILL and hit enter, then it should work.

Again, this is just what I do, so not sure I'm right for you.

 

It still does not!
I have (almost) all tasks closed but there is the same message!
I still have no idea how I bring the server to run.

 

Try this.
Open the MAIN folder on your server, then type shutdown -r now
That will kill it and reboot. But it kills everything.
