Web Dashboard - How to Fix Web Dashboard Error: "Address already in use (BindException)

Problem Copied

The error message: java.io.IOException: Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:8080 caused by java.net.BindException: Address already in use means that the default port 8080 that the Web Dashboard server (an embedded Jetty server) attempts to start on is already being used by another process on your system.

Check if there is another process using the port. You can kill that process or simply configure the Web Dashboard to use a different port. You can edit the GWS_PORT variable either in run or geneosws start-up script to change the port number.
