Hi Flumers

I’m new to Flume so please go easy on me, but this is a placeholder for those 
that follow.

I’m seeing the following Exception when configuring a http source for Flume 
v1.6.0, pointing at an externally hosted web API I know I can connect to, and 
GET/POST to otherwise

15/11/12 21:23:34 ERROR lifecycle.LifecycleSupervisor: Unable to start 
EventDrivenSourceRunner: { 
source:org.apache.flume.source.http.HTTPSource{name:<source-name>,state:IDLE} } 
- Exception follows.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Running HTTP Server found in source: 
<source-name> before I started one.Will not attempt to start.  “<--Exception 
text!!!”

Here are my config lines for the Flume source:
flume-ng agent
-Dflume.root.logger=WARN,console

--conf-file
<Flume-Agent>.sources.<source-name>.type = http
<Flume-Agent>.sources.<source-name>.port = 443
<Flume-Agent>.sources.<source-name>.bind = https://<url<https://%3curl> to a 
perfectly healthy web API> <-- serving JSON data
<Flume-Agent>.sources.<source-name>.handler = 
org.apache.flume.source.http.JSONHandler
<Flume-Agent>.sources.<source-name>.selector.type = replicating <-- multiple 
sinks

Now I’ve seen others have had to recompile the Flume Jar to resolve this but is 
that really what’s going on here?

Apart from the Exceptions, what other logging will help diagnose this?
