Failed to start: SocketListener0@0.0.0.0:4444


14:45:33.140 WARN - Failed to start: SocketListener0@0.0.0.0:4444
Exception in thread "main" java.net.BindException: 
Selenium is already running on port 4444. Or some other service is.
at org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer.start(SeleniumServer.java:378)
at org.openqaselenium.server.SeleniumServer.boot(SeleniumServer.java:224)
at org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer.main(SeleniumServer.java:188)

This is the most common error which is encountered while starting the selenium server. The origin of this error is the fact that selenium server always tries to listen at port 4444 by default .
There are chances that when you are running tests, the server might not be shutdown properly. In this case, when you try to re-run your tests, you may encounter the following error

I Google for a solution and finally i got solution from my friends blog
Solution for the above problem is , type the below in the browser URL and the server will be stopped

http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/?cmd=shutDownSeleniumServer
Now your should be able to see the message "OKOK" in the browser window. Your server now shut downed. 


Now run your script from eclipse....server will start now with out any problem

    1. 1) have to configure the RC -
      public class Login extends SeleneseTestCase {
      public SeleniumServer ss;
      static int port=1234;
      @Before
      public void setUp() throws Exception {
      RemoteControlConfiguration rcc=new RemoteControlConfiguration();
      ss=new SeleniumServer(rcc);
      ss.start();
      selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", port, "*firefox", "application");
      selenium.start();
      }


      2)in Cmd start the server with different port -
      java -jar selenium-server-standalone-...jar -port 1234

  8. Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering
    which blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and
    I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  13. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off
    topic but I had to share it with someone!
