I have Sun ONE Developer Platform 1.0 Beta installed on
Windows 2000 Server with SP2.
admin-server never starts from a computer start. It sometimes starts
on a restart.
First error in admin-server log is: "SEVERE (2512): IOP5055: could not
create listener on port [1,071], host [0,0,0,0]
Changing listener iiop-listener port to 10711 (edit server.xml under
admin-server->config) startsup admin-server. I have only tried this a
few times, but it always startsup.
Looking at the server instance in the browser under ORB shows the orb-listener-1
port to be 3700. Is this the same port??
I also had to edit the server.xml file under server1->config to change the
http-listener port to something other than 80 (I used 8088), otherwise
an error of "Port already in use" was given.
The path separators in both server.xml files are a mixture of UNIX and MS
styles, but seem to work. I have edited mine just to be sure!
I see these hacks as just a means for progressing a few more steps. I would
like to know the correct solutions.
