httpdispatch is the standalone dispatcher that starts the Genero Application Server (GAS) in command line. No web server is needed.

What does "address already in use" mean ?
<INTERFACE_TO_CONNECTOR>
<TCP_BASE_PORT>6300</TCP_BASE_PORT>
<TCP_PORT_OFFSET>94</TCP_PORT_OFFSET>
...
</INTERFACE_TO_CONNECTOR>
The default port specified is 6394 - derived by adding the base port (6300) to the port offset (94). Set the values to a port which is not used by another application, see INTERFACE_TO_CONNECTOR.
Restarting the standalone GAS
kill -9
Once the Web server restarts the dispatcher, the dispatcher uses the session table to reconnect to the various proxies. The applications maintained by proxies, are still running, and once the dispatcher is relaunched, the user can continue his or her work.
Pressing CTRL-C or sending SIGTERM will stop the standalone dispatcher, and in both cases the
dispatcher will request all proxies to stop. With kill -9
the dispatcher
process is killed yet the sessions remain alive and untouched. When the dispatcher is
restarted, the sessions continue to be active. Notice, the fastcgi
dispatcher will stop sessions on pressing CTRL-C too if started in standalone mode. But not
on SIGTERM.
