I try to start QIE, but it shuts down within a minute or so.  I looked in the qieLauncher.log.0 log file and found the following just before JettyLauncher shutdown: 

2013-06-17 00:03:37,718 MDT [Thread-3] INFO OutputConsumer.run() - stderr - JettyLauncher: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 1099; nested exception is: 
 

What does this mean, and what do I need to do?

Best answer

Use the following Java option under the 'Java' tab 'Java Options':  NOTE: This is NOT placed in the 'Startup' tab 'Arguments'.

-Dqie.rmiPort=51494

Having an rmiPort allows the QIE Service Manager to communicate with the QIE webservice.  The rmiPort selected should not be used by any other process on the server.  If the default rmiPort is in use, we recommend picking a port number between 49152 and 65535.

for addtional details, see the QIE install Guide.  The QIE Install Guide is available under the Help menu in QIE.

The Jetty port is different from the RMI port but if you were looking for something about that see this question:
