Oracle iPlanet Web Server Is Not Listening On The Configured Port Though The Log Shows It Starts Successfully (Doc ID 1639550.1)

Last updated on OCTOBER 23, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle iPlanet Web Server - Version 6.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
*** Checked currency Jan 25, 2019 ****

Symptoms

The web server is configured to listen at <IP ADDRESS> on port <PORT> and the errors log shows the web server is started up successfully.  But when accessing the port <PORT>, the browser is getting "Unable to connect" error indicating the port is not listening.  The "netstat -rn" output doesn't show the port of <PORT> is in LISTEN state either.


However, when accessing the web server on port <PORT>, the access log doesn't show this web server is being accessed, but instead the web server on port <PORT> is serving the request.
