There are certain ports that BioStar 2 must occupy to operate properly.


[BioStar 2] Server and Device Port Usage


However, during upgrading, installing, or re-starting BioStar 2 server, the required ports may be occupied by other programs instead of assigning to the relevant application of Biostar2.  


A popular example would be the below case.  


Relevant case - Cannot log in BioStar 2

  1. Move to BioStar 2 installation path (default: C:\Program Files\BioStar 2(x64)).
  2. Edit the file 'setting.conf'.
