I need help with binding the port

ok, so i am running my server off of a friends dedicated server. IMPORTANT- My server is the only server that is running on the server. And i dont have root access.

I use putty to connect, and have the screens all set up. I have had the problem before and it was simply a detached screen using the port. However i have no screens running and i still have the problem that it wont bind.

Error message:

I have read abit about how a java thread could still be active, but i know nothing about this. StackOverFlow.com says you can list the threads by doing "top" which gives me:

PID User PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %mem Time+ Command
30638 barry 18 0 10.2g 2.9g 12m S 363.5 12.5 267:07.61 java


This is the only constant thread being used by my account, when i do kill it asks for a signal, to be precies:

Kill PID 30638 with signal [15]:


Please help
