Hi
I work on a windows 7 machine. I had installed websphere 7. Then I removed it to run as windows service. In My Eclipse Blue IDE I want to create a server instance of Websphere 7 for local installation of the application. I create a server, give path to the installed Websphere on my machine and can see a new instance of Webshpere server in the server view of My Eclipse Blue IDE. When I click to run it, it gives me a message “Websphere cannot be started as it is already running possibly as a Windows service.” But the server is stopped and I had removed it has a Windows service.
Can you please help. This has stopped me from moving ahead in my work.
Thanks.
Prabhmeet,
Sorry that you are seeing this issue.The message that appears is when *any* application is using the same port as HTTP port of WebSphere. Sometimes, the port stays occupied for about 1 min after closing WebSphere.
1.Can you please check what is using your server’s port ?
2. Also you can use “Update Server Status” to check if the server is not started. Right click on the WAS 7 server instance from the Server’s view and select ‘Update Server Status’.
3. You can also try to kill all the java processes from the Task Manager to see if it fixes the issue.
Let us know how it works for you.

1.Can you please check what is using your server’s port ? —– I am using the correct HTTP port when I configure the server in eclipse.
2. Also you can use “Update Server Status” to check if the server is not started. Right click on the WAS 7 server instance from the Server’s view and select ‘Update Server Status’. –The server is not started and this option doesnt help much.

I am still facing the same problem. Can you please help me resolve it at the earliest.
Cheers

Prabhmeet ,
1. Can you please recheck if any of the programs is using the same port as Websphere ? You can use commands like netstat and telnet to check if the HTTP port is already occupied or not.
2. Do you see the same issue when trying to start the Websphere instance from outside the MyEclipse IDE ? Does the server start properly without any issues ?
Let us know how it works for you.
