google app engine local server doesn't work run after multiple times in eclipse

Question

After running app-engine java project multiple times in eclipse, app-engine local server doesn't work. I am getting error "This webpage is not available" in Google chrome. But eclipse console says that "dev App Server is now running". But using dev_appserver.cmd works fine, it is too difficult when developing the project. Any ideas to solve this?

PS: rerunning is done after stopping the current execution of the server.

Answer 1

Choose 'Automatically select an unused port' in debug configuration. Local server will start every time on different port, but it should solve your problem.

Answer 2

try to change the configuration by "run as" or "debug as" and check server and port no. Also ensure that in Windows>>preference>>java>>jre a path to jdk (not jre) is selected. Please provide more details of the problem if it is still there.
