If you are trying to fire up WebSphere and are seeing an exception like the following:

Quote:

Caused by: com.ibm.ws.exception.RuntimeError: org.omg.CORBA.INTERNAL: CREATE_LISTENER_FAILED_4 vmcid: 0x49421000 minor code: 56 completed: No

possibly multiple times through your startup logs, and then the server finally exists, the problem is that you are having a port-conflict with the server's ports and an existing app on your computer.

The question was asked on the WebSphere support forums by DrWSAD and and a helpful reply from kennu pointed out that you will need to use the Windows command

Code:

netstat -a

to get a list of all the ports being used, and by which apps they are used.

Then you can go to file directory:

Quote:

<WebSphere 6.x Install Dir>\profiles\AppSrv0000\config\cells\<Cell Name>\nodes\<Node Name>\serverindex.xml

and edit the file to change those conflicting ports to something else.
