Apache JServ: Exception creating the server socket: java.net.BindException: 
Address already in use

If you are getting the above error, it is most likely that you have another 
copy of the JVM running. On a unix machine, type:

ps -uax | grep java
or
ps -ef | grep java

If you see a JVM running you must kill it.

I think there's something buggy in JDK 1.1.6 on the ServerSocket. I can
remember it from a discussion ran here some months ago... I'd suggest
you to upgrade to the LATEST JVM for Solaris... (1.1.7 or 1.2 should
work)...

I get this error when I restart the server too soon after stopping it. Apparently you just have to let it die gracefully, then restart, otherwise to socket hasn't freed up yet.
