No Port Available from the port range

Hi, Im getting "no port available from the port range" for the default_group/home/default_group process when I attempt to start opmn. I changed the port no through the application server control panel, and now I cant start opmn to change it back again! Could anyone tell me how to go about changing it back please?
The error report looks like this:
There are some errors while stopping the following components. Refer to the generated error report for more details.

OC4J_BPEL no port available from the port range

To All,
We could not start our BPEL Process Manager and OC4J_BPEL. We have shut down and restarted the Linux server repeatedly and re-running the IRCA. All stacks are running except the OC4J_BPEL and BPM.
We keep receiving the following message when we start the BPM:
BPEL Process Manager
OraBPEL : OC4J_BPEL no port available from the port range
OraBPEL : OC4J_BPEL - failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
OC4J_BPEL
OraBPEL : OC4J_BPEL no port available from the port range
OraBPEL : OC4J_BPEL - failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
Our OraBPEL is on a single HP NetServer LH6000 with Red Head AS 3.0, Oracle 10g DB and AS middle tier all in the same machine. The server was running a batch BPEL process. After running 2 hrs and process 12,000 records it was brought down by a single runtime exception. We were able to bring back the Oracle 10g AS middle tier but not the OC4J_BPEL instance. Any help would be appreciated.

I changed the OC4J_BPEL port from 3201 to 3211 fix the problem. It was conflicted with the home instance that is using port 3201. However that still can not get rid of the OC4J-BPEL failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit.

Failed to allocate port(s) in the specified range(s) for the following....

Hi,
I'm attempting to install oracle 10.2.0 on Solaris 10.
When I create a database i get the error:
Failed to allocate port(s) in the specified range(s) for the following process(es): .....
So I look at the logs and there looks like to be some configuration issues but i'm not sure where to start.
I've changed the port from NULL to 1521 in listener.ora.
It worried me that it was set to null.
Ive tried running emca -config -all db ( not sure what central agent home should be set it as /app/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_1 seemed to accept that)
This gives me the same above error.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Please note im both a novice solaris and oracle user

How to hide the PORT NUMBER from the URL

Hi,
We have Application on Node 1 and Database on Node 2
Apps Version: 11.5.10.2
DB: 9.2.0.6
We recently added a new node to act as web server for iSupport.
Now we are able to access the url using public Ip-address which looks like
http://<Internet Ip-Address>:<PORT NUMBER>
Eg: http://******.com:8000
But we dont want the *'PORT NUMBER(8000)'* to be displayed.
How to hide the port number ?..
Thanks in Advance,
Mahesh

Hi Hsawwan,
Can you plz explain me the steps how to hide the port number from the url as our network administrator is not aware of this.
Regards,
Mahesh

Emca: Failed to allocate port(s) in the specified range...

this is Suse Professional 9.2 and Oracle 10.1.0.3.
When we try to start emca to configure the enterprise manager manually, we get the error message:

But those ports are not in use...
Anyone experienced the same thing?

Hi,
I'm joining this thread late as I've just encountered the same problem.
None of the ports specified in the error message are in the etc/services file, and none of them are in use according to netstat either. sysctl.conf and ip_local_port_range are both correct too.

Werner Puschitz has something about this on his Suse installation page in the Troubleshooting section (http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10gOnSUSE.shtml ) , but is does not seem to have got into his Red Hat page:
The problem is that ports listed in /etc/services are discounted.
The workaround is to specify the ports manually, see emca -h.
Use the following options and use the port ranges as specified in the above error message:
emca -RMI_PORT <port> -JMS_PORT <port> -AGENT_PORT <port> -DBCONSOLE_HTTP_PORT <port>
so it may be worth giving that a try.

What gotchas should we watch out for when porting code from the Adobe SDK to the Acrobat SDK?

I have found some evidence that the preprocessor variable PLUGIN seems to prevent macros from includes from being defined. The NPROC and SPROC constructs seem to be involved (partners in crime, if you will).

ps: Please see my related thread "What is the difference between xxProcs.h and xxCalls.h?"

Here's a gotcha that I bumped into:
extern "C" HINSTANCE gHINSTANCE;
I found it in a successfully developed code on the Windows/Plugin side. It is something that I had never used on the APDFL side AND my Windows linker is complaining about several gXXXX missing functions.
IOW: It sounds like the above statement is the solution to my linking problems. Somehow the APDFL seems to take care of the C vs. C++ details.

Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port. However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." And then I have to click cancel.
The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series, and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network', and USE: MX870 series. But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
"Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Marty,
It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:

Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

Software for HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, and found that I could no longer print to my HP CM1312nfi.
This is usually a problem with HP at every upgrade, but this time, they appear to have offloaded the driver download process to Apple.
My printer is connected wirelessly through a time capsule by IP address—the physical, not the virtual, e.g: 169.254.xx.xx instead of 10.0.1.x.
When I try to download the driver by bonjour or IP, I get the following error message:
Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
Is this truly a Software Update server error, and if so, any clue when it will be resolved?
I am able to print with the generic driver as of now, but fax and scan capabilites are gone. The add fax dialog lists no devices.
Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?
Thanks for your time and attention.

Of course, once I posted this, I tried again and downloaded the driver without issue.
My second question still stands, however:
Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?

Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it. When I try add the printer I get this message:
Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
Thanks!

The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
Print & Scan
IP
Provide printer static IP address
Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
Add
Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

Hi i am trying to install windows to my macbook through boot camp and i get this message Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.!!!what can i do???please help me!

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????

You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

I have downloaded all the Epson Printer Software but I cannot make the final step.

Reset the printing system and then try adding the printer again.

HT204135 not able to add my hp laser jet 3330 mfp printer, I get a message that it is not currently available from the software update server. What do I do?

how can I installed my hp printer when I get a message that it is not currently available from the software update server?

The drivers are there. I see this quite often. What's happened is the supported devices list on the Mac is a little out of date. All you should have to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Updates, restart the Mac, connect the printer back to the Mac, and add the printer's queue to the Mac. You can find a little more information on this and other helpful tips in the link below. Let me know what happens.
