Thanks, Joseph ## Accepted answer (score 0, by Stefano (OF) on 2015-12-04) Link: https://openforis.support/questions/406/collect-does-not-start/410 In such a case we have to check if there is another process that is running on the same port. You can know this by running the Resource Monitor (Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>Resource Monitor). If the found program is something you cannot live without it, than you will have to change the port used by the Collect Tomcat instance. In order to do this, you have to change the file `c:\opt\openforis\collect\tomcat\conf\server.xml` (take a backup copy first) and modify the values of the `port` attributes specifying something different from the original values. You can find an alternative version of the `server.xml` file at this address: [server.xml][1] Rename the original `server.xml` file into `server.old`, download the new server.xml file and put it inside the `conf` folder. With this file Collect will work on port 8580, so after Collect will start up, you will have to access it using this link from your web browser: [Collect on port 8580 link][2] Let us know, many thanks.

It can be due to the fact that Collect itself hasn't been shutdown correctly. First of all, you can try to shutdown Collect using the menu item, then close all the Tomcat windows and then open the Task Manager by right clicking on the application bar at the bottom and stop every Java process that is running. After this, try to startup Collect again. For sure you won't have the same problem anymore. Thanks, Open Foris Support Team ## Answer (score 0, by joseph on 2015-12-04) Link: https://openforis.support/questions/406/collect-does-not-start/409 After closing TomCat, java.exe is also not active anymore in Task Manager - processes (other java processes with oter names i dont know); whwn i stop java.exe directly TomCat closes also. But the problem continues ## Answer (score 0, by joseph on 2015-12-06) Link: https://openforis.support/questions/406/collect-does-not-start/411 Problem solved after I started Task Manager / Processes / Show processes from all users: then I ended all httpd.exe (Apache, PostGres) processes and I could start again Collect. To end java.exe was not needed. However I have to repeat this process after I reboot system. PS: Windows Vista does not have a port listener.
