External Test Config: My Hardware and Environment details:It seems monitoring service port on all CF instances were set to start on port 5501. If its in use, the instance gets a new port. This work fine when we start one instance at a time, but if all of them start at same time, there will be a port conflict and the instance starts throwing error message. The port is set in Jetty.xml file and every instance should have a new port assigned.

As per your comment: if all of them start at same time, there will be a port conflict and the instance starts throwing error message. What do you mean by starting all the instances at the same time. Can you give the steps of reproducing this bug.

Hi Hari, Steps to reproduce. 1) Setup multi instance CF cluster on windows VM and have the services run as windows service. 2) Reboot the server. 3) Look at monitor.log under each instance and all of them tires to start on port 5501 and if its busy, it gets a random port. 4) In few scenario's, that throws an exception JVM_bind exception, port already in use.

This fix will be available in ColdFusion 2016 Update3. The fix would be, now whenever we create new instances, unique port would get assigned to jetty server and hence there would not be any problem in case of a restart. Note: This fix will not work with the existing instances.

We have found this same issue. Manually changing the ports in jetty.xml to known unused ports has helped us alleviate the issue.

BTW, I appreciate this is being fixed, however this is an issue in other areas... Web Socket Ports - they increment on the 2nd instance 8579, 8580, 8580, 8580, etc Flash Fallback Port for Web Sockets - Same thing. 1243, 1244, 1244, 1244, etc
