Hi,
I downloaded 2.15.1, unzipped and run startup.bat with Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-11.0.13.8-hotspot\ and Geoserver started for me as usual.
I am not sure what is the best method for changing the Jetty port but editing the star.ini file did not work for me. By adding -Djetty.http.port=8090 into the java options in startup.bat made Geoserver to start on port 8090.

I might be wrong but I think Java 11 needs a liter. version of GeoServer.
Why do you need the old version?

Hello,
I am trying to run an older version of Geoserver (Ver 2.15.1) on my Windows 10 (64 bit) PC. The script startup.bat starts and crashes. I have tried running the script with Admin privileges, changing port in start.ini (e.g. jetty.port = 8989) and reload, opening port in Windows firewall, nothing seems to work.
I also checked Windows services, but couldn’t find Geoserver as a service there.
Java_Home: set to JDK 11
GEOSERVER data dir points to data directory of Geoserver
Can someone give me some hints to fix this?

Thanks a lot for your responses. I fixed it! The address was indeed in use, and for some strange reason, I couldn’t change the port by making several attempts in start.ini (jetty.port). It didn’t work for me.
So, I took a backup of the data directory, upgraded to Geoserver 2.21.0 at a different port, reloaded, and Voila! All seems to be ok 
Cheers!
