I am unable to start the gerrit.sh script. while running this script, it says starting failed. Below is the error that i can see in the error_log:

Although my gerrit code review site is working fine but the gitweb option is not able to fetch the details from backend. Please suggest.

And thanks in advance for your help:)

The error message:

Address already in use

tells that there is already a service bound to port 29418 This prevents Gerrit's SSH daemon from starting up because it uses port 29418 by default.

You should check what is using that port, and stop it if possible, or configure Gerrit to listen to SSH on a different port. You can do the latter by setting sshd.listenAddress in the site's etc/gerrit.config file.

  • I tried to change the SSH port to 29418 but its still not working. Its giving error as cannot bind to HTTP Port. Is there any other process needed to configure the port as SSH? – Saurabhdv27 Sep 11 '18 at 07:40
