2012-08-08 14:42:16,138 INFO [main ] fisheye.app Bind-parse - problem parsing our own bind address
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "8060/fisheye"
at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source)Cause
Fisheye is expecting a number in the bind address field.
Resolution
Edit the config.xml file in FISHEYE_INST and if you've placed a context path such as :8060/fisheye then remove the context path, so that the bind address only contains the port number :8060.
For example:
1
2
3
...
<http bind=":8060"/>
...Restart Fisheye.
