How to handle socket Exception

[mayank0512]

Sir i am running this code on windows vista, but i am getting the Socket Exception: Permission Denied:: Listen failed.I am trying to run this application on port 8080.On this very port i am running tomcat6.0,so even when i changed the port same exception arises.
Similar Exceptions were there when i run tomcat6.0 but when i installed tomcat6.0 as a service it worked fine.
So, please sir what should i do run this code on my machine.
I have Java SE(TM)Run Time Environment6 running, also mcafee antivirus running.Please post me a solution if possible
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.*;

public class SocketTest
{

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
{

ServerSocket myService;

try
{
myService = new ServerSocket(8080);
System.out.println("successfully opened a socket");

}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(e);
}


}

}

Either mcafee or windows firewall .. if 8080 is already used it will throw BindException .. You can catch that as well before IOException.
Paste StackTrace so that we can be sure on this ..

happy socketing ..

The StackTrace is::
java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: listen failed
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketListen<Native Method>
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.listen<Unknown Source>
at java.net.SeverSocket.bind<Unknown Source>
at java.net.SeverSocket.<init><Unknown Source>
at java.net.SeverSocket.<init><Unknown Source>
at SocketTest.main<socketTest.java:17>
java.net.SocketException:Permission denied: listen failed

May be you dont have permission to open that port. Try run as Administrator .. If you are using cmd line .. type cmd in Start menu search bar and run cmd as administrator from there..

Let me know ..

I tried in my Vista .. showed firewall warning and application ran without problem ..

Same Exception even when i ran cmd-prompt as an administartor.
One more thing is that i have my windows firewall settings turned off, should i make any changes in that i.e make it on.
What should i do ?? Do tell me i am fet up of this exception. Is there a problem with the O.S.
Similar problems as i told u were there with the tomcat6.0. But with some discussion when i installed tomcat as a service and ran as an administartor, problem vanished totally.
But here no such result as yet.I don't think that there is a problem with the code that i posted.

Make sure port 8080 is not in use...

check it with the netstat command...

Yes i have checked the port , it's free.
Is there any issue with the firewall settings, or with the mcafee settings. Do tell me , so that i could make necessary changes.

Can you try to make your program listen on another port?

Lets say for example 8889

Does it work then?

If you are using eclipse IDE or a similar one exit from the IDE and try running the code again.
