How check the restSecureServicesPort is available? - windows

I've installed a application with a service on a Windows Server 2012 R2. The status of the service is paused. When I start the service, he runs for two seconds and he's again paused.
In the instructions from the manufacturer is written:
Note: If the service shows as paused, check the restSecureServicesPort is available.
What does that mean? What should I do?

This could mean, that you application hosts a REST service on this Windows service. REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP. This means it needs a port on which the application listens and receive data. This port is probably already busy and another application uses it. To view all busy ports you could use the netstat command via the command line on your server. But first you have to find out on which port your application wants to listen (maybe through some documentation of the application).
After this you could check if it's possible to change the port of your application or the port of the application which occupies this port.
Hope this helps!

How to get an application listening ports with windows c++ api

As show in Windows Resource Monitor:
I want to analyse network traffic of an application, but I dont know the Windows API. I used scapy or wireshark, but I don't know what data packages are this application.
So, I want to get the listening port first. But I don't know the API.
You can use GetTcpTable2() or GetExtendedTcpTable() to enumerate open TCP ports, determining which ports are listeners, and get each one's owning process.
You can use GetExtendedUdpTable() to enumerate open UDP ports and get each one's owning process.

NiFi not launching

INFO [main] org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.Command Apache NiFi is currently running, listening to Bootstrap on port 20740, PID=31405
That means NiFi is running, and I can see its log in logs/nifi-app.log.
The UI is available at https://servername:9443/nifi. It successfully initiated communication with Bootstrap.
But i have this error, and the UI fails to appear. Do you have any solutions?
Failed to invoke #OnEnabled method of JettyWebSocketServer[id=01591009-1d2b-177f-e304-a7cc87d735ce] due to java.net.BindException: Address already in use
"java.net.BindException: Address already in use" means a port is already in use by something else on your system.
In this case it shows that it is coming from the JettyWebSocketServer controller service which is trying to bind to port 9998.
You can use "netstat -lntp" to see what is using port 9998. It could also be possible that you have more than one instance of the controller service with both of them configured with port 9998 and one of them is binging to it and the other fails.
Seems like a Controller Service that fails... Try browsing your flow.xml.gz and check for any ControllerServices named JettyWebSocketServer. Change their <state></state> from <state>ENABLED</state> to <state>DISABLED</state> and try running NiFi again.
You can tell it is a controller service by the #enabledannotation which invokes a method that needs to run when the controller service is enabled.
NiFi shouldn't fail to start because of a failing controller service but it seems to be the problem(probably a bug).
After it start back up, you can configure the controller service to run on a different port.
I also suggest, that if it is the case, that you open an issue to Apache about this since it seems like a pretty major bug.

Stop unknown AppDetectService using port 8000 on windows 10

I have an unknown AppDetectService using my port 8000 and I am not able to figure out how to close it down or kill any process that seems to be running it. Its being run by System process on PID 4(found that by netstat and searching through task manager). Trying to search for the file running it on task manager leads to ntoskrnl.exe. Also task manager shows it may slightly be using GPU. So my guess is either a system process is holding the port or more probably something is using some kind of system available servers to host a service. Hitting it on the browser shows up this page:
Netstat results:
task manager screenshot showing GPU may also be firing:
Please help me kill this abomination once and for all.
I have used Process Explorer to find out what service was using this port. Since it was impossible to find it even like this, I started to shut down service by service until port 8000 wasn't occupied any more.
In my case, port 8000 was taken over by drivers for Sound BlasterX AE-5 sound card. Process Creative.AudPosService located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Connection Service has been using this port.
Luckily, it is possible to change this port. Open Creative.AudPosService.exe.config and change line where port number is located <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8000/"/> to <add baseAddress="http://localhost:9999/"/> or anything else that don't interfere with your work. Restart windows and it should be fine.

How to wait for an other process to start listening on a local port?

I have a test driver program that launches a separate test server process. The test server process listens on a local port, and after it's ready, the test driver runs a test that accesses the test server.
Currently the test driver repeatedly tries to connect to the local port (loop some, sleep some, try again). It's not an optimal solution, and is clearly unreliable.
Is it possible to wait for some event that says "somebody listens on a local port"? Trying to connect to early results in a "port closed" error.
I'd like to implement the solution on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. If you have some tips for any of these systems, it's welcome (it's probably going to be system-specific in each case).
On Windows I use a named event for this kind of thing.
The test harness can create the event and communicate the name of the event to the server that it launches; it then waits on the event to be signalled before continuing the test. The server then connects to the event, initialises itself and once it's ready to accept connections it signals the event.
Well, if you launch the server process, you can intercept the stdout of the server right?
So have the server output "server started" when the socket ready. The driver should wait until the server sends this string to stdout, then try to connect to the server port.

How do I free my port 80 on localhost Windows?

I installed XAMPP 1.6.8 and for some reason it didn't work. Later realized port 80 is not free or not listening. How can I release it or make it free?
Thanks a lot!
I found out that what was taking over port 80 is http api service. I wrote in cmd:
net stop http
Asked me "The following services will be stopped, do you want to continue?" Pressed y
It stopped a number of services actually.
Then wrote localhost and wallah, Apache is up and running on port 80.
Important: Skype uses port 80 by default, you can change this in skype options > advanced > connection - and uncheck "use port 80"
netstat -ano
That will show you the PID of the process that is listening on port 80.
After that, open the Task Manager -> Processes tab. From the View -> Select Columns menu, enable the PID column, and you will see the name of the process listening on port 80.
I had this problem previously,
if you see the Task manager(after enabling the view for PID), you will find PID=4 is "port 80 in use by NT Kernel & System; "
Just go to
Control Panel
Programs
Turn Windows features on/off
check if the World wide web services under IIS is checked
If so, Uncheck and netstat(or TCPVIEW) again to see if 80 is free.
netstat -a -b
Should tell you what program is bound to port 80
use netstat -bano in an elevated command prompt to see what apps are listening on which ports.
But Usually following applications uses port 80 in windows.
IIS
World Wide Web Publishing service
IIS Admin Service
SQL Server Reporting services
Web Deployment Agent Service
Stop above applications if running and check!!!
Use TcpView to find the process that listens to the port and close the process.
Other option to try is to stop SQL Server Reporting Services.
You can use net stop http it will display which process is using. Moslty world wide web services are using
Try
netstat -anb -p tcp
that show ports and processes
I was trying to install nginx from here - http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html
Going to http://localhost/ will show something, at least a proper "not found" message
This is because 80 is the default port, and it was taken by other processes.
Now run below command:
net stop http
// Above command stopped below services
// - SSDP Discovery
// - Print Spooler
// - BranchCache
// - Function Discovery Resource Publication
// - Function Discovery Provider Host
Now, going to http://localhost/ will fail with a broken link page message.
Main process was BranchCache
This process, after stopped, will restart in a few seconds.
So we need to run other commands we need soon, an example below:
// this will stop
net stop http
// immeidately run other command you want to
start nginx
Now, going to http://localhost/ gave me:
Welcome to nginx!
Hope that helps.
Type in "netstat -ano" into your command line. I saw that it was showing something for Local Address port 0.0.0.0:80.
My issue was because I had SQL Server Reporting Services on Port 80. So I followed these instructions and changed the port # from 80 to 81:
http://seankilleen.com/2012/11/how-to-stop-sql-server-reporting-services-from-using-port-80-on-your-server-field-notes/
Here is a picture of my command line AFTER I changed the port number for SQL Server Reporting Services:
If you are still having the same issue, read this forum:

This is just a guess, but since port 80 is the conventional port for HTTP, you may have a webserver running on your system. Is IIS active?
If you are running IIS you may have the web farm service running. That was what was killing my xampp.
Skype likes to use port 80 and blocks IIS. That was my prob.
I also had the same problem. net stop http didn't help and World wide web services option under IIS in Windows Control Panel was unchecked. So in XAMPP control panel I just checked the Svc checkbox near Apache start button (Install Apache as service) and rebooted Windows. And now each time Windows starts Apache is started automatically and occupies port 80 before any other service does. Worked for me!
Known Windows Services That Listen on Port 80
From Services Manager (run: services.msc), stop and disable these Windows Services which are known to bind to port 80.
Double click Service, and change ‘Startup Type’ to ‘Disabled’…
SQL Server Reporting Services (ReportServer)
Web Deployment Agent Service (MsDepSvc)
BranchCache (PeerDistSvc)
Sync Share Service (SyncShareSvc)
World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC)
Internet Information Server (WAS, IISADMIN)
skype also using port 80 as default setting and you can uncheck it.
You might, or might not, have some of these Services installed and running.
In my case "SQL Server Reporting Services" was opening port 80.
Identify the real process programmatically
(when the process ID is shown as 4)
The answers here, as usual, expect a level of interactivity.
The problem is when something is listening through HTTP.sys; then, the PID is always 4 and, as most people find, you need some tool to find the real owner.
Here's how to identify the offending process programmatically. No TcpView, etc (as good as those tools are). Does rely on netsh; but then, the problem is usually related to HTTP.sys.
$Uri = "http://127.0.0.1:8989" # for example
# Shows processes that have registered URLs with HTTP.sys
$QueueText = netsh http show servicestate view=requestq verbose=yes | Out-String
# Break into text chunks; discard the header
$Queues = $QueueText -split '(?<=\n)(?=Request queue name)' | Select-Object -Skip 1
# Find the chunk for the request queue listening on your URI
$Queue = #($Queues) -match [regex]::Escape($Uri -replace '/$')
if ($Queue.Count -eq 1)
{
# Will be null if could not pick out exactly one PID
$ProcessId = [string]$Queue -replace '(?s).*Process IDs:\s+' -replace '(?s)\s.*' -as [int]
if ($ProcessId)
{
Write-Verbose "Identified process $ProcessId as the HTTP listener. Killing..."
Stop-Process -Id $ProcessId -Confirm
}
}

I faced the same issue and fixed it by making a small change in the httpd.conf file which can be obtained by clicking the config button along with the Apache option.
The change I made was to replace listen 80 with listen 8080.
For me, this problem began when I hosted a VPN-connection on my Windows 8 computer.
Simply deleting the connection from "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections" solved the problem.
