Hi all, I am trying to set-up Payara5 to listen to the port 8081 with the config: configs.config.server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.http-listener-2.port=8081 During deployment, I receive the following error: ul 19, 2024 8:56:00 AM com.sun.enterprise.v3.server.AppServerStartup postStartupJob INFO: Payara Server 5.2022.5 #badassfish (492) startup time : Felix (4,715ms), startup services(17,109ms), total(21,824ms) FileMonitoring shutdown Jul 19, 2024 8:56:00 AM com.sun.enterprise.v3.server.AppServerStartup postStartupJob SEVERE: Shutting down server due to startup exception java.net.BindException: Address already in use at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:459) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:448) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.bind(ServerSocketChannelImpl.java:227) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketAdaptor.bind(ServerSocketAdaptor.java:80) at org.glassfish.grizzly.nio.transport.TCPNIOBindingHandler.bindToChannelAndAddress(TCPNIOBindingHandler.java:107) at org.glassfish.grizzly.nio.transport.TCPNIOBindingHandler.bind(TCPNIOBindingHandler.java:64) at org.glassfish.grizzly.nio.transport.TCPNIOTransport.bind(TCPNIOTransport.java:215) at org.glassfish.grizzly.nio.transport.TCPNIOTransport.bind(TCPNIOTransport.java:204) at org.glassfish.grizzly.nio.transport.TCPNIOTransport.bind(TCPNIOTransport.java:53) at org.glassfish.grizzly.config.GenericGrizzlyListener.bindTransport(GenericGrizzlyListener.java:211) at org.glassfish.grizzly.config.GenericGrizzlyListener.configure(GenericGrizzlyListener.java:339) at com.sun.enterprise.v3.services.impl.GrizzlyProxy.initialize(GrizzlyProxy.java:126) at com.sun.enterprise.v3.services.impl.GrizzlyService.createNetworkProxy(GrizzlyService.java:673) at com.sun.enterprise.v3.services.impl.GrizzlyService.postConstruct(GrizzlyService.java:595) at org.jvnet.hk2.internal.ClazzCreator.postConstructMe(ClazzCreator.java:303) at org.jvnet.hk2.internal.ClazzCreator.create(ClazzCreator.java:351) at org.jvnet.hk2.internal.SystemDescriptor.create(SystemDescriptor.java:463) at org.glassfish.hk2.runlevel.internal.AsyncRunLevelContext.findOrCreate(AsyncRunLevelContext.java:281) at org.glassfish.hk2.runlevel.RunLevelContext.findOrCreate(RunLevelContext.java:65) at org.jvnet.hk2.internal.Utilities.createService(Utilities.java:2102) at org.jvnet.hk2.internal.ServiceHandleImpl.getService(ServiceHandleImpl.java:93) at org.jvnet.hk2.internal.ServiceHandleImpl.getService(ServiceHandleImpl.java:67) at org.glassfish.hk2.runlevel.internal.CurrentTaskFuture$QueueRunner.oneJob(CurrentTaskFuture.java:1213) at org.glassfish.hk2.runlevel.internal.CurrentTaskFuture$QueueRunner.run(CurrentTaskFuture.java:1144) at org.glassfish.hk2.runlevel.internal.CurrentTaskFuture$UpOneLevel.run(CurrentTaskFuture.java:762) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1128) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:628) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:829) Jul 19, 2024 8:56:00 AM com.sun.enterprise.v3.server.AppServerStartup doStart SEVERE: Failed to start, exiting The payara server is inside a Docker container and has an unique IP, thus the port is not used by another application/instance. If I choose another port, then the deployment works fine. I do not want to use another port since I will have to change the configuration (Kubernetes config - Ingress and SVC, as well as liveness/readiness probes, monitoring etc) to a new port, which is a lot of work. How can I set up Payara to listen to 8081 (HTTPS) without having any interference? Thanks a lot and I am waiting for your reply. ---

If it says, that the port is occupied, it very probably is. Is it possible, that there is any other listener configured to the same port? What docker image do you use?
