Solving the java.net.BindException exception when starting JBoss

Ever wondered why sometimes JBoss doesn't start and throws the following exception: "Address already in use: JVM_Bind" ?
That'e because JBoss uses default ports, and some application is already running on one of these ports.

this is a shrinked version of a post published here:

http://www.mastertheboss.com/en/jboss-server/195-solving-javanetbindexception-address-already-in-use-jvmbind.html

there you can also find applications that can potentialy use JBoss default ports, thus making it to throw this exception.

To solve this problem, here's a list of the default ports JBoss uses. This way you can tell which port is occupied by another application.
To get information about running processes, do the following:

In Windows: use the "netstat -ao" command.
In Unix: to get the process which is engaging a port, use the "fuser -v -n (tcp | udp) <port#>" command.

fuser -v -n (tcp | udp) port# doesn't work for me on Ubuntu

netstat -apl shows processes with listening ports

Try for instance:

netstat -nlp | grep java

fuser -v -n tcp 38080
