Port 7200 conflict?

Hi,
This post is actually about a problem that we're having with an Oracle Identity Federation (OIF) installation where the Oracle Apache/OHS is dying periodically, but I think that this problem is something to do with the infrastructure. This installation is on Redhat.
We are seeing these msgs in the Apache/Apache/logs/error_logXXXXXX files:
[Thu Jun 5 20:33:06 2008] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 127.0.0.1 port 7200

[Thu Jun 5 20:34:22 2008] [notice] Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.2 Oracle-HTTP-Server configured -- resuming normal operations
These msgs are occurring with groups of 5 of those errors, but the period between each occurrence of groups of error msgs is inconsistent. I've seen them happen between 30 - 90+ minutes apart.
I've done an "lsof | grep 7200", and I see:
emagent 23563 oifadmin 9u IPv4 478045 TCP localhost.localdomain:13837->localhost.localdomain:7200 (CLOSE_WAIT)
emagent 23563 oifadmin 11u IPv4 478143 TCP localhost.localdomain:13850->localhost.localdomain:7200 (ESTABLISHED)
emagent 23563 oifadmin 15r IPv4 477946 TCP localhost.localdomain:13820->localhost.localdomain:7200 (CLOSE_WAIT)
httpd 26740 oifadmin 15u IPv4 473172 TCP localhost.localdomain:7200 (LISTEN)
httpd 26748 oifadmin 15u IPv4 473172 TCP localhost.localdomain:7200 (LISTEN)
So, it seems like emagent maybe and Apache are both trying to use port 7200? The Apache is listening on localhost:7200 because dms.conf is configured to listen on localhost:7200.
This was a fairly "vanilla" installation... basically I just took all the installation defaults, so I don't understand why I'm having this problem and what to do about it.
Can anyone suggest the best way to eliminate this problem?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
I re-visited my testing, and especially the lsof output, and it seems like SOMETHING was listening on port 7200 that conflicted with OHS.
The lsof showed emagent, but it looks like that was emagent connecting TO port 7200, not that emagent was listening ON port 7200.
So, I just did another test, where I commented out the "include" in httpd.conf which includes dms.conf, hoping that if OHS wasn't listening on port 7200, that I'd be able to see the SOMETHING that was trying to listen on 7200.
However, when I did that NOTHING was listening on port 7200.
So, it seems like whatever is conflicting with OHS and listening on port 7200 is only running if I have that "dms.conf" "include" line in the httpd.conf.
I guess the question is: When the "dms.conf" is included in the httpd.conf, does that cause another process to be started up, and what process is that?
Does anyone have any idea about this?
Thanks,
Jim
P.S. NOTE that when I change the port # in dms.conf and restart OHS, then the problem "moves" with the new port #, i.e., I get a conflict on the new port #.
So, the port that whatever process is started by OHS is listening on changes when I change the port # in dms.conf and then do the dmctl command.

BT Homehub port forwarding - Conflicts?

I am trying to set up an application for a minecraft server. I need to forward ports and I create the application for the Minecraft server with ports 25565 and when I try to actually apply it, it says:
ports setting conflict
This application ports setting conflict with others, Please correct it and try again.
I dont see how there are any conflicts? I dont have any other applications set up on my router?

Same thing happens when you try to add Xbox Live - nobody knows why. Basically a full reset seems to be the only fix and even then you have to be quick when setting up port forwarding otherwise the conflicts issue happens.

Port mapping conflict, what do I do?

trying to port map "personal file sharing" to my airport but i get a public tcp port conflict. How do I resolve this? Do I just pick another number and match it with the private tcp port ? Or do I have to select a new port for this operation in OSX? No clue how that is done so any help would be much appreciated ! Thanks.

are you trying to map personal file sharing to a computer on your network? If you are, an dyou have file sharing on in the disk section of the Airport extreme base station, you will get a conflict message. You have to turn off disk file sharing, then all will work just fine!
hope that helps!

Port forwarding conflict with applicaton ssh

Hi,
I have 2 machines in my home network that I want to be able to ssh to from externally using different ports, 22 and 2022. Both forwarders need to forward to port 22 on the 2 machines. I only seem to be able to establish one forwarder. The second one complains that it conflicts with the first. It seems like it can't handle forwarding to the same port despite it being on a different server. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?
Thanks, Tom

The NAT within the home hub can only map to one port of the same number, irrespective of the device, its just the way it works.
I am not sure which routers would be capable of this.

Port Forward: Conflicts with all of them.

A bit about me: I am an IT professional 20+ years so I know how to port forward
Situation:
I had a Actiontec Gen1 router. A technician came out the other day and tried to resolve an upload speed issue. As a result, he replaced the ONT and the Router to a Gen2. He got it all up and running and left. My issue started 20 minutes after he left -- when I sat down to reestablish my port forwards.
When I tryed creating my first port forward, I got a warning message about a conflict. I looked at the list and all I had were 3 preset entries:
--Localhost                               TCP Any -> 4567
--192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> Any
--192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> 1
Now, I have done port forwards a lot with my previous router so I was a bit taken back. I did a factory restore on the router and tried to create another port forward - still conflicts.
I knew something was up so I called Verizon. A tech didn't get anywhere so they put me on the phone with Actiontec. They had me try to create a port forward and got the same results. They said the router was corrupt and to have Verizon send me another.
I got the new router in today. While the tech was setting it up in the basement, I quickly tried to create a port forward on it and it worked. I was excited and waited for him to connected it to the WAN. Once he did his thing and established outside connectivity, I tried to create another port forward, and it failed. I asked him to give me back my original Gen1 router so I could use it to troubleshoot. He did with the rule that I call him when I was done.
I got Verizon back on the line and they couldn't help. They then got me on the phone with Actiontec. A couple hours later, they still had no answer. One thing we found though was that they were also not able to connect remotely. They tried 443 and 8080 - nothing worked. I also found that I was able to create UDP port forwards - they worked fine but as soon as I tried any TCP ports, the always came back with a conflict.
Actiontec said the issue was with Verizon and that I should work with them again, so I called Verizon.
I got a great tech who was really going the extra mile instead of giving me the infamous "We don't support that". He too couldn't access the router remotely and we tried just about anything under the sun. For giggles, we decided to put my old Gen1 router back in place. He wanted to reset it to factory defaults so we did. I took a screen capture of my original port forwards though first. When we restored it, it was also stating that there is a conflict when I created a new port forward.
I took a look at my screen capture of my original Gen1 router (this is the one that was originally working over the last year) and I noticed that its 192.168.1.100 entry was set to go to Application - UDP any -> 63146. After resetting it to factory default, Verizon is now setting it to the two setting I documented above.
So now I am questioning Verizons settings that they are pushing down to the router.
My next step was to disconnect it from the WAN completely, do a factory reset and see if I can create a port forward. After doing that test, I was able to create port forwards - TCP, UDP -- they all entered without a conflict. As soon as I connected the router to the WAN and Verizon pushed their settings, it broke again.
The technician did all he could. It is Sunday today and the higher tier techs do not work on Sundays so he said he will have them contact me tomorrow. I sure hope they can resolve this!
So this is the deal:
-Go into your router and try to create a port forward. Pick anyone from the list that includes a TCP port. If you get a message stating there is a conflict, you are most likely in the same boat as I. I would bet anything that Verzion cannot access your router remotely too.
-If you ARE able to create tcp port forwards, then I would highly suggest that you do not do a factory reset. When doing so, I would bet anything that you will no longer be able to create those forwards.
-if you are able to port forward fine, do me a favor and tell me what your 192.168.1.100 port forwards are that Verizon throws in there. If I were to bet, I would bet that the ones that work are set for Application - UDP any -> 63146; If they don't work, I would bet that they are set to:
--192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> Any
--192.168.1.100:63145          Application - TCP Any -> 1
Anyway, that is my story. I spent a whole weekend with Verizon and I am still not working. Any data from the community will be helpful. I want to know if this is a global issue or if it is only affecting me. I have had this happen with 3 routers, 1 gen1 and 2 gen2's.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Finally - a solution. *wipes brow*
First off, I want to state that the networking group located in the Syracuse - all the other tech need to visit them for a week and learn:
- How to talk to a customer (what to say and not to say)
- How routers work, how they can be configured, and what they are capable of. Basically, learn a bit about networking.
- Listen to the customer - they may know more than you.
Anyway, thank you very much Syracuse Team!
While working with the tech (this guy was awesome and actually listened to me about the automatic port forwards that were appearing from Verizon), he decided to to use the RJ45 network WAN connection in addition the COAX. My setup was setup to only use the COAX connection - it's been that way for over a year now.
The tech turned set it up so that my data was going through the RJ45 and the TV was going through the COAX. When he did this and we reset the router to factory, the Verizon forwarded ports were no longer showing up and as a result, I was able to create ports at will without conflict.
So beware all of you who are setup to only use the COAX connection. It appears that one of my set top boxes was now throwing in the port forwards that I noted in the original post and those were screwing everything up. Go figure that, eh? I wonder who said that some 14 tech hours ago?
Anyway - if you are unable to create port forwards without a conflict error, call up Verizon and tell them the issue. If they act like they never heard this, tell them about my situation and that adding the RJ45 connection in addition the COAX is the solution. Just make sure you reset your router to factory when they are done or else those odd port forwards won't clear.
Peace out and good luck!

Port 9000 conflicts with McAfee Backup utility

Seems like your port is in use by another application...you have another program open to control your oven? You are sure you have used the right COM-Port? No Serial Mouse connected which is in use by Windows? What about your COM 1 and COM 2? There's no error-sign...you already tried connecting your device to this port?
*edit* And: Look at your baud-rate...it's not a valid value for a RS232-communication...

New OIF installation - Very slow response from OHS

Hi,
I've installed two instances of OIF 10.1.4.0.1 in order to create a test configuration to test XASP Attribute Sharing (i.e., we are not doing any other profiles).
Both OIF instances are using a separate instance of Sun Directory Server as its User Data Store, and both are using in-memory for Transient Data Store and have no Federation Data Store. Both OIF instances were installed similarly, using the "BASIC" installation choices, and are running on separate Redhat Linux servers.
The problem that we're seeing is very slow (10+ seconds to 30+ seconds) responses, even when we try to access a static HTML test page that we've placed in the OHS htdocs directory.
We've eliminated any networking problems as possibilities by a couple of tests that we've done, including shutting down the OHS and running a small, different test web server listening on port 7777. When we do that, response time for requests from that web server is almost instantaneous.
We are also seeing the same slow response when we try to access the test HTML page from the same server itself.
We have an SR open with Oracle, but so far, we've not been able to identify what the problem might be, so I'm hoping that perhaps someone else may have encountered this problem and have a resolution.
It is really puzzling because, as I said, this is a pretty vanilla default OIF installation, and it is doubly puzzling because even getting a tiny static HTML page is taking 10+ seconds. Also, I had installed OIF 10.1.4.0.1 on a Windows machine previously, and I don't see this problem on that earlier installation.
If anyone here has any insight into this problem, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
I think I was able to temporarily eliminate this slow response problem. I think that the slow response problem is related to another problem that I posted about in the "Application Server - General" forum (see below, and Port 7200 conflict?
Jim
======= POSTED to Application Server - General forum ============
I think that I was able to temporarily work around this problem, plus another problem that I think is related (see: New OIF installation - Very slow response from OHS
What I did was to just comment out the "include" line for "dms.conf" in the Apache httpd.conf.
Doing that got rid of the "Address already in use" errors I was seeing in Apache error_log and also eliminated the slow response I was seeing from Apache/OHS (see that other post in "Identity Management" forum), BUT I am getting new errors about Apache not being able to find "htdocs/dms/Spy0".
I have the impression that dms is some kind of process monitoring system that Oracle has in 10gAS infrastructure? So, I have some questions:
1) What's the effect of dms not working?
2) Is it possible to just disable dms?
I hope that Oracle support can come up with a "real" fix for both problems, but in the meantime, as long as what I did doesn't break anything else besides dms, we can at least test the OIF stuff.

Lync 2013 Edge--Unable to Publish Topology due to port assignment issues aka sharing conflicts

Hi all
I trying to setup the following , Single Lync Edge 2013, consolidated with single external IP address, but having issues
with the Topology Builder when I go to Publish.
This topology builder setup for Edge Server will not work:
Access edge
Port 443
Web conf
Port 444
A/V edge
5061
Error with in topology builder “…topologycontains one or more port sharing conflicts”.
It seems to object to the A/V edge of Port 5061….
Is there another port that I should be using for the A/V edge that is the best practice…?
Suffice to say….Other than Port “444” how does one chooses the other two (2)
unique ports to avoid conflicts…?
Many thanks in advance
Magellan99

5061 is used for federation, and as such implicitly tied to your Access Edge service. If you're using single IP for Edge services, leave them as default as Thamara has advised.

Instrument I/O Assistant refuses to save serial port settings

(I'm using Labview 7.1 on
Windows XP)
I have a problem communicating with a device over a serial port using my lab
computer. The serial port is the only port on the device.
I have successfully communicated with the device on this computer using
windows HyperTerminal.
I have successfully communicated with the device through Labview on another
computer.
I am using the Instrument I/O assistant to get things up and running, this
worked fine on the other computer, but on this computer there are problems.
When I click on COM1port "properties" in the "select
device" pane I get the "Edit vesa resource" dialog, but it comes
up with a "port settings conflict", it says:
"The Vesa port settings are different from the Windows port settings. Select the
settings you want to keep."
Whichever settings I choose, when I hit save I get a dialog box with the
message "could not write specified port settings to the operating
system." So it won't save the settings and so it won't work when I run the
vi. (I know the right settings and they work in HyperTerminal, Labview just
won't accept them.
Can anyone help?
thanks,
Luke
Luke_A_P

I have solved the problem!
It seems that admin rights are needed to save the settings, this seemed odd to me since HyperTerminal did not need them and I could change settings in device manager (which didn't help in itself). But, trying Labview with an admin logged in allowed the settings to be saved.

You may get it by searching the portlist.ini file in the ORACLE_HOME of the product you use.....
So , for instance the following , are the ports those of Dev_Suite_Home:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889

WebEnterprise: Hardcoded IIOP Port Number

All,
I am using IIOP component from the Forté Web Enterprise 1.0 B and I have a
problem with the IIOP port number that I have to set to my Service Object
Properties.
I am using the following properties :
IORFILE=(name=MySO.ior, runtime), listentlocation=remote, forward,
host=${HOST}, port=4500, generate=IDL
So it means I am using the Forté IIOP gateway running on ${HOST} and
listening to the 4500 port number.
As you see it is possible to specify an environment variable instead of the
hardcoded host name.
Unfortunately, it seems I cannot specify an environment variable for the
port number (if I try Forté (from the Forté workshop or from the Fscript)
returns me an error message saying that I have to specify a number).
First Issue: When the distribution application is made with this hardcoded
port number I am not able to modify during the installation this number
which can be busy and already used.
Second Issue: We are using a single machine for test purpose. We have
several Forté environments using this IIOP service SO. It means that I have
to make several application distributions allocating for each of them a new
port number to avoid port number conflicts.
Has someone coped with this problem ?
Does anyone have an idea or a workaround ?
Thanks.

Change of port for Livecycle server

Hi all,
When we first setup our Livecycle server we configured it running on a non-standard port and have experienced repeated headaches with people behind corporate firewalls not being able to open documents secured with Rights Management.
We'd like to reconfigure our installation to solve this (change the port) but will this mean all our documents will stop working? Will we have to re-apply RM policies and then redistribute all of our documents?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
Based on your description, I guess that you install the backup software on Windows Server 2012 Essentials firstly,
and then configure Direct Access. Then you find there is an issue of port 25566 conflict. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Changing the default port of Direct Access on Windows Server 2012 Essentials seems to be not a good idea. Would
you please let me know more information of this third-party backup software? You may contact with vendor of the backup software and confirm which service (or any other) listens on port 25566. Meanwhile, confirm if we can change port 25566 of the backup software.
By the way, for backup, Windows Server Essentials provides reliable ways to perform regular backups of your
server and backups of your network computers. For more details, please refer to the following article.
Manage Backup and Restore in Windows Server
Essentials
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Help with firewall port opening

I'm a newbie at this, so please be patient. And my Time Capsule is less than a week old, so I'm still in the learning stages.
I purchased an iPod Touch and one of the programs from the App Store--Pocketpedia--requires certain ports to be open in order to sync with my Mac pedia programs.
I went into the Time Capsule>Advanced settings to try to open the appropriate 2 ports (one for the Powerbook and one for the Touch). I'm obviously doing something wrong. That wouldn't be heard since all of the terminology is foreign to me. I know that I need to open the two TCP ports.
I clicked on the + to add a new service/port. I wasn't sure if I needed the numbers in Public TCP ports or private, so entered them in both with the numbers separated by commas.
I thought that this would be "personal file sharing" so I tried to choose that under "Service". However, when I did that it said "A pulic TCP port number conflicts with a file sharing port on the base station. Disable file sharing or choose a different port number." Actually, once I choose "personal file sharing", it autofills in port 548 into the two TCP numbers. That's one that's opened within System Preferences. So it actually won't let me change that number at all. When I try to, it services menu defaults back to "choose a service".
Needless to say, I'm very confused. I did go ahead and create a service with the two port #'s and without designating it a specific "service", but that doesn't seem to fix my problem with allowing the Touch to sync with my Powerbook.
Any help would be much appreciated.

With port mapping (forwarding) you "open" ports on the router's firewall in order to allow Internet traffic to reach a host device on your local area network (LAN). In this case your iPod Touch and PowerBook. However, you can only map the same port(s) to only one device. For example, you cannot map port 548 to both the Touch AND the PowerBook, only one or the other.
The typical port mapping setup requires two basic steps:
1. Assign either a static IP address or reserve a DHCP-assigned IP address to the host device.
2. Map the appropriate port(s) on the router to this host device.
The following is a more detailed list of steps ...
To setup port mapping on the Time Capsule (TC), either connect to the TC's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the TC, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
o Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
o Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
o Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
o Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
o Click "Continue"

Serial ports not showing up as COMs

Hi,
I currently have the problem where my serial ports don't show up as COMs when I use the VISA resource block. Instead they show up as ASRL1::INSTR for port 1 etc. While this still works ok when I select them manually for running some VI's, some executables where I'm prompted to select a COM port, no com ports show up at all. This is strange because previously I used to be able to see serial ports as COM8 instead of ASRL8::INSTR. Device manager from Windows XP says that the ports are working properly and there are no conflicts. Using Hyperterminal to see information from the serial devices works fine. So i'm not sure what is going on.
One thing I did notice is that in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), three of the ports have the yellow caution sign next to them. One of them is a serial port which says that "VISA port settings are different from the Windows port settings. Go to the Port Settings Conflict tab to resolve the inconsistency." However when trying to resolve this error I cannot save the changes, an unknown error message will come up (maybe because I don't have admin rights on the comp?). The other two ports with the caution sign are Toshiba bluetooth comms. with the device status: "VISA returned this device when finding resources, and MAX could use VISA to parse the resource name. MAX could not succesfully open a VISA session to the device" with no clues on how to fix.
Has anyone had any experience with these sort of problems and how to resolve them.
Thanks,
William

Hi
Thanks for the quick replies. The VISA Aliases from MAX seems to be set up properly, just that when I go to select a com port in LabView, they show up as ASRL1:INSTR etc. This isn't such a big problem as selecting ASRL still works ok, just that some executables and VI's i'm trying to run is written so as to scan for the string "COM" while they search for com ports so when that happens I can't run them since there's nothing to select. I've attached a couple of screenshots of what I see (note that some of the serials ports, the device status says device is working properly, just the ones I took screenshots off, it seems to have an error).
