YouTube OAuth does not work in server, work with localhost

Question

I am implement OAuth 2 for youTube api..

public class LocalServerReceiverRetriever {

    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory
            .getLogger(FileUploadController.class);

    private static LocalServerReceiver localServerReceiver = null;

    public static LocalServerReceiver getLocalServerReceiver(){
        if(localServerReceiver == null){
            localServerReceiver = new LocalServerReceiver.Builder().setPort(8081).build();
        }else{
            try {
                localServerReceiver.stop();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                logger.error(e.getMessage() + e.getCause());
            }
            localServerReceiver = new LocalServerReceiver.Builder().setPort(8081).build();
        }
        return localServerReceiver ;
    }
}

public static Credential authorize(List scopes, String credentialDatastore) throws IOException {

    // Load client secrets.
   // more code....

    // Build the local server and bind it to port 8081
    LocalServerReceiver localReceiver = LocalServerReceiverRetriever.getLocalServerReceiver();

    logger.debug("localReceiver set up to 8081");

    // Authorize.
    return new AuthorizationCodeInstalledApp(flow, localReceiver).authorize("user");

}

It is working in local. Logically I change the callback URL to http://localhost:8081/CallBack.. Working fine in local but when I deploy to AWS server with public IP, it does not work..

Showing address already in use for 8081 exception and even not redirect to google auth page.

That simply means port 8081 has been occupied by some other service on AWS . Either stop that service , or choose a new port other than 8081 for your application. It will work.
