How To: Check if a Specified Port is in Use


Question

I restarted my Titan Server, and I get the message “Error Starting Server: Port conflict”. I Checked the server, and the specified port is not in use.

Reasoning

A port conflict error typically occurs when another application is already using the port required by Titan Server. Identifying and resolving the port conflict ensures the Titan Server can start properly.

Answer

This is how to check the specified port:

Pre-requisites

      Windows CMD

Steps

  1. First, we need to identify who’s using the port, to so this – 
  1. Open Windows Command Prompt by pressing windows key + R and type cmd.
  2. Then nestat –ano | findstr :  <port> to see if port is listening.


 


  1. If the port is listening, type tasklist /FI “PID eq 7612” to see what application is using the port.


Note: In this example, only srxserver.exe is using port 22. However, in some cases, Titan FTP may not function properly on port 22 if another application is already using it. Understanding this can help prevent conflicts and reduce the time spent troubleshooting the issue.
