  • Have you tried working with Dev Hub from the CLI tools yet?

  • @Andrew, Well I followed the steps mentioned in the guide. I know that I have installed Salesforce CLI and other pre-requisite. But to be frank, i wanted to use GUI & so didn't tried to create project via CLI. Nov 4, 2017 at 13:26
  • Sure. I just thought that using the CLI tools may help narrow down the issue to the Force.com IDE or something else.

The error indicates that the port is already in use. In order for a program to listen to a socket, it needs to bind to one of 65,635 ports. Only one copy of one program can use any particular port at one time. Odds are, a previous run started on the same port and never terminated, thus holding that port hostage. Try restarting your computer and then authorizing again. Otherwise, you might already have a program that runs on the default port (1717), in which case, you should create a new Connected App as outlined in Create a Connected App.

  1. Log in to your Dev Hub org.

  2. From Setup, enter App Manager in the Quick Find box to get to the Lightning Experience App Manager.

  3. In the top-right corner, click New Connected App.

  4. Update the basic information as needed, such as the connected app name and your email address.

  5. Select Enable OAuth Settings.

  6. For the callback URL, enter http://localhost:1717/OauthRedirect. If port 1717 (the default) is already in use on your local machine, specify an available one instead. Make sure to also update your sfdx-project.json file by setting the oauthLocalPort property to the new port. For example, if you set the callback URL to http://localhost:1919/OauthRedirect:

    "oauthLocalPort" : "1919"

(Note: Fixed a typo found in the original documentation)

  • Thanks, I checked there was already one previous authorisation going on in background. However even after cancelling it, the port doesn't get free. I have to restart my system. Anyways, i got the root cause. Thanks for the reply. Nov 5, 2017 at 8:43
