Was there ever a solution to this problem? I’m having a similar problem when starting notes 6 on Solaris. I’m trying to start the server on an ldap port other than 389, but notes won’t let me.

Any help?

We have this problem about AMGR task, on Domino 6.5.1 . Other tasks go on with no problem.

The fix for me was to go to my server notes.ini file and remove any additional ports, anything with TCPIP* (leaving the line:TCPIP=TCP, 0, 15, 0

).

For more info look in the help under “Binding an Internet service to an IP address”.

I have an internal TCP port named TCPIP and an external TCP port named TCPEXT. After upgrading from Domino 5.0.xx to Domino 6.0.3 SMTP stopped with the same error message. I found out that the upgrade procedure messed up my notes.ini file.

Make sure you have a line starting with “Ports=” in your servers Notes.ini file and that this line is complete (lists all ports you use).

If you have one port and defined it in the Notes.ini as

TCPIP=TCP, 0, 15, 0

then make sure you also have a line that looks like this:

Ports=TCPIP

If you have more than one port and you defined it something like

TCPIP=TCP, 0, 15, 0

TCPEXT=TCP, 0, 15, 0

then make sure you also have a line that looks like this:

Ports=TCPIP,TCPEXT
