title: websphere port conflict preventing app server from starting
body: <p>I've tried doing a netstat and the port says it's listening.  Looking at the websphere config files, I couldn't find anything else using this port.  There are no other application servers or non-websphere-related apps using this port.  I've highlighted the problem below in the log.  Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>update:  To resolve the issue, we tried moving the port several times by at least a thousand ports.  We've edited the serverindex.xml and everything looks fine.  this isn't a DNS problem either, as the hostname resolves OK from the system.</p>
  
  <p>This is websphere 6.1 express running on an as400.</p>
