Hi Praveen,

Not sure about this error but try this out if nothing works out :

1. Install broker as an application and not an windows service
2. Start broker monitor and broker server manually

If I get anything on this error will let you know.

Regards,
Sumit

i have already installed the broker as application and not as service… n now i am even unable to reinstall the broker server it says already exists…

Just a little check, while installing broker did you miss giving machine IP

There is one option in installer : “Replace corrup installation files, including user data”.
If you have not tried this , try this to reinstall broker.

hi

i tried the reinstallation of broker with replace corrup option but still it didnt work out…

i am receiving the following errors while reinstalling the broker

com.wm.installer.broker.ConfigurationException:

Use the command netstat-a and find if the port is already in use or not.

Also rename the default dir “\webMethods7.1\Broker\data\awbrokers71\default” and try.

If nothing is working, try to use some other port and use it.

no gopi nothing is working the folder is already the same wht you specified also tried changing the port but still getting the same exception

Try uninstalling the broker server and restart the system. Delete or rename the broker folder and then install it freshly. Sorry no idea .

May be you can try with the command line tools available under "\webMethods7.1\Broker\bin"

Before reinstalling once, it may help you
