Symptoms

Fisheye/Crucible fails to start. The following appears in the atlassian-fisheye.log:

INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/12/18 17:57:42 | 2013-12-18 17:57:42,184 ERROR - Could not create webserver: For input string: "example.com"

Cause

This error happens if the config.xml file is not correctly configured having the XML http-bind defined as a URL instead of a combination of hostname and port (hostname:port) or just port.

Resolution

1. Stop Fisheye/Crucible if it is running.

2. Correctly define http-bind in $FISHEYE_INST/config.xml:

   <web-server>
       <http bind=":8060"/>
   </web-server>

3. Start the application.

See Configuring the Fisheye web server for more details.
