If a TCP transport channel fails to bind to a specific
port, one of the following situations might have occurred:
- You are trying to bind the channel to a port that is already bound to
another application, such as another instance of an application server.
- You are trying to bind to a port that is in a transitional
state waiting for closure. This socket must transition to closed before you
restart the server. The port might be in TIME_WAIT, FIN_WAIT_2, or CLOSE_WAIT
state. Issue the netstat -a command from a command prompt
to display the state of the port to which you are trying to bind.
