Cannot start instance of another server : correction

Question

Correction : To the moderator of the newsgroup, please delete my other post with
the subject 'Cannot start instance of another server'.
In the console of WLS 6.1 SP3 on HP-UX, I have created another instance of a server
I called 'another_of_myserver' (in addition to the default myserver). When I
try to start another_of_myserver, it won't start and gives the following error
============================
<Nov 26, 2002 1:32:04 PM EST> <Error> <NodeManager> <Could not start server 'another_of_myserver'
via Node Manager - reason: '[SecureCommandInvoker: Could not create a socket to
the NodeManager running on host 'localhost:5555' to execute command 'another_of_myserver',
reason: Connection refused. Ensure that the NodeManager on host 'localhost' is
configured to listen on port '5555' and that it is actively listening]'>
===========================
What does it mean and how do I get it to start ?
Thanks for any help or suggestion.

Athooya,
If you do not specify a weblogic.nodemanager.listenPort or
weblogic.nodemanager.listenAddress they will be set to the default.
So the listenAddress will be localhost and so not matching exactly the address
used by the remote
start. Please try to set the listen address of the Node Manager when it is
started. You can specify the address on which the Node Manager will listen for
requests from the
Administration Server with the following parameter: -Dweblogic.nodemanager.listenAddress=host
where host is the DNS name or IP address of the machine where the Node Manager
is started.
The default port on which the Node Manager will listen for requests
from the Administration Server is 5555. You can change this with the following
startup parameter:
-Dweblogic.nodemanager.listenPort=port
