To resolve the issue of port occupation on CentOS 7, you can follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To check which ports are in use, use the following command to view the currently occupied ports and their corresponding processes.<\/li>\n
  2. List all open ports using the command “sudo netstat -tuln | grep LISTEN”.<\/li>\n
  3. Stop the process occupying the port:
    \nBased on the output result from step 1, find the Process ID (PID) occupying the target port, and then use the following command to stop that process (assuming the Process ID is 1234):<\/li>\n
  4. Forcefully terminate the process with ID 1234.<\/li>\n
  5. Alternatively, you can use the system tool systemctl to stop the service:
    \nIf the port that is being occupied is used by a system service, you can use the following command to stop the service (assuming the service name is servicename):<\/li>\n
  6. Please stop the service using the systemctl command.<\/li>\n
  7. Change the application configuration file: If the port that is already in use is being used by the application, you can modify the application’s configuration file to change the port number to one that is not in use.<\/li>\n
  8. Alternatively, you can use a different port:
    \nIf the modification in step 4 is not feasible, consider using another port that is not already in use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please make sure you have sufficient permissions (using sudo) and handle with care when performing the above operation to avoid disrupting other services that are running correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
