Cannot start one or more DevTest components because a port is already in use.
In the log file, you find something similar to this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Trapped Exception: Address already in use: bind
| Trapped Message: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind

Cause
By default DevTest listens on all IP addresses associated with a physical machine.
This can cause issues especially with Virtual Machines or other setups with multiple in use IP addresses.
This can cause issues especially with Virtual Machines or other setups with multiple in use IP addresses.
Environment
All supported DevTest environments
Resolution
In the lisa.properties, uncomment the following line:
# lisa.net.bindToAddress=192.168.1.1
Adjust the IP address to the IP address DevTest should listen to.
The line should look something like this:
lisa.net.bindToAddress=192.168.1.1
# lisa.net.bindToAddress=192.168.1.1
Adjust the IP address to the IP address DevTest should listen to.
The line should look something like this:
lisa.net.bindToAddress=192.168.1.1
