Solution

Here is the Answer to your Question:

Assuming that you have a requirement to run the Selenium Grid Hub on port 5555, you have to consider the fact that by default Selenium Grid Node runs on port 5555. As you are setting up the Hub & Node both on your localhost and have started the Hub on port 5555, you have to consider configuring the node to run on some other port other than 5555. That will solve your issue.

If running the Selenium Grid Hub on port 5555 is not a mandatory requirement, then you can start the Selenium Grid Hub on the default port (port 4444) or any other port , e.g. port 5786

Here are the steps for your reference:

1. Start the Selenium Grid Server (on port 5786):

   java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.4.0.jar -role hub -port 5786
   

2. The following logs confirms your Selenium Grid Hub is running properly:

   2017-06-05 12:22:03.092:INFO:osjs.Server:main: Started @1917ms
   12:22:03.093 INFO - Nodes should register to http://192.168.0.101:5786/grid/register/
   12:22:03.094 INFO - Selenium Grid hub is up and running
   

3. Access the Selenium Grid Console through the URL:

   http://localhost:5786/grid/console
   

4. Start the Selenium Grid Node:

   java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.4.0.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:5786/grid/register
   

5. The following logs confirms your Selenium Grid Node is running properly:

   12:49:46.805 INFO - Selenium Grid node is up and ready to register to the hub
   12:49:46.927 INFO - Registering the node to the hub: http://localhost:5786/grid/register
   12:49:47.166 INFO - The node is registered to the hub and ready to use
   

6. Access the Selenium Grid Console through the console URL to see the registered Node:

   http://localhost:5786/grid/console
