The possible cause can be another server, for some other application which is starting before your server and is using the same port as your server. This 'other server' may be starting as a service, automatically, without user intervention.
 
Check this up.

Subject: J2EE Server cannot start


Hi all,
still new to enterprise development.
I installed my j2ee server and managed to run it a couple of times.
when i restarted my pc today i got the following error:

 java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not initialize j2ee server. Possible cause could be another instance of the server already running.
        at com.sun.enterprise.server.J2EEServer.run(J2EEServer.java:348)
        at com.sun.enterprise.server.J2EEServer.main(J2EEServer.java:866)
J2EE server reported the following error: Could not initialize j2ee server. Possible cause could be another instance of the server already running.
I know very well that no other instance is running coz I have restarted my machine and started the server again and got the same error. I also reinstalled my java sdk and j2ee but to no avail, I am using windows 2000 machine. 
and please help!
