I encountered several tricky errors when removing port. Sometimes the file
IntegrationServer/config/port.cnf is not correctly updated when you do modification through the console.
The 5555 port is by default the primary port of the IntegrationServer (It means the port you use to access the Administrator after first installation).
Before removing the 5555 port you have first
to create a new port
Enable the new port
Switch the primary port from 5555 to the new port.
Stop IntegrationServer
Edit the file IntegrationServer/config/port.cnf (i always encounter this error the port.cnf is not updated after changing the primary so you have to do it manually)
Change the following line for 5555 port structure
include
to following line
exclude
Change the following line for new primary port you created
exclude
to following line
include
Launch again the IntegrationServer
You can now remove the 5555 port.
If someone has an easier way to proceed without modifying a file i am curious to know, i always encounter same problem while changing port.
Thanks for the reply. Its obvious that when you remove the default 5555 port - you have to have someother primary port…otherwise the console will not allow you to remove 5555.
I dont even see the port 5555 in the port.cnf.
Even then, when I do netstat, I see this port - 5555 - being used. I see this port even after stoping the IS server and restarting the machine. I am now doubting that some other software might be using this port. But this is a new system :(.
If the 5555 port is not used by webMethods how were you able to launch your IntegrationServer before removing 5555 port from the console(unless you initially change the primary port) ?
Hi Sunny,
The situation below is very unlikely if this is your machine.
If you have received this machine from somebody else, may be that some previous version of IS is installed there as Windows Service and has automatic start when you boot your machine. In that case it will not show up as java process.
This is a new system. I installed wM 4 times and uninstalled 3 times. But that should not make a difference. Or does it?
when you said, installing IS as Window Service. Do you mean IS components like Broker - I uninstalled all the components of the older versions. I made sure of that, before installing new version.
I know Broker and mainframe are configured to start during startup. I made them to start Manually. Now, I have checked Administrator_tool > manage in my windows machine and I dont see any webMethod related stuff there thats starting Automatic.
