Question

WAS 6.1 Server Port Conflict...

Asked by: Mdavis0816

Hello,

I am receiving the following error when attempting to start up my WAS v6.1 server in RSA 7. I have verified that the port is not in use (listening or active). Even after a restarting XP and going directly into RSA, I receive the same error at this point. This server had previously worked for the past few days, and no changes have been made to it whatsoever. Additionally, I have not added any additional servers or profiles within RSA.

Thanks for any advice!

1. You may use "netstat -an" to check whether any entry of port 8889 exists in the list.
2. Please go to C:\SDP\V7\runtimes\base_v61\profiles\SAMS_4.0\logs\server1 and check whether the file server1.pid  exists. If that file exists, open the file with notepad. That shows the process id. Take a look at the Task manager and find whether the process id exists.

Unfortunately the problem is intermittent. For instance, this morning, my WAS 6.1 is starting up fine, publishing, etc. If I encounter the problem later in the day I will take a look at that file. Thanks. I'll check back if the issue occurs again and see if you solution works (I'm assuming if the PID shows up, I'll kill that process and hopefully the problem would be resolved?).

Sorry I meant to mention, the server1.pid file did not exist this morning.
