VNC, X, and Opmnctl
423919Dec 13 2004 — edited Dec 15 2004I don't know if this is in the discussions groups already. I'm just putting this out there just in case.
I am running Application Server 9.0.1.4.0 on Red Hat 3 ES. After a power failure, running opmnctl startall gave me this error:
04/12/13 17:20:09 [4] ONS server initiated
04/12/13 17:20:09 [2] BIND (Address already in use)
04/12/13 17:20:09 [2] 0.0.23.115:6003 - listener BIND failed

Apparently our X server and an opmnctl process is trying to use ports 6001 to 6003 at the same time. Opmnctl tries these ports and gives up at 6003. We were running multiple Vnc sessions, and so were tying up the ports.
I reduced port usage in this range allowed opmnctl to start without any errors.
