Hi all,

I'm not a Linux admin but we own an application called iStrobe from Compuware. We have requested our Linux admin to install the latest version of iStrobe on Linux server. But when they try to use the available Port numbers for the iStrobe server, it throws an error "Web application Port (Port number) not available.

Our linux admins could not understand what is the issue? Do you have any directions on how to resolve the issue?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for the late response. I was reading up on Strobe to learn of its benefits. A simple description, it is a mainframe applications performance and monitoring tool designed for database processing mainframe systems that receive heavy workloads. I can see the importance to get this thing working.

    iStrobe wants to use a port number that will allow for web-based administration. That is what I gathered from "Web application port". Did your admins try to change the port number this application wants to use and is this required port number available on the Linux server. By the way what Linux server are you using to host this application?

    Thanks for responding. We tried the default port number provided for Strobe and tried other available Port numbers, but did not work. Linux server details as below,
    SLES11SP4
    Suse Linux Enterprie Server 3 and service pack 4

    Sorry for responding late. Missed to read your email due to Good Friday and Easter.

    Are you getting any error messages? If so, what are they. Are there any firewalls loaded on your system?

    mszeliga, I'll pass on this information to Compuware support team to check if it runs on SLES11 SP2 or SP3
