Depending on the configuration of WebLogic Server 11g, when starting the managed servers (such as WLS_FORMS and WLS_REPORTS), they may either listen by the IP address of the PC\/server or the computer name of the PC\/server. Sometimes when a computer is moved to another room in a building, the IP address changes. If the managed servers listen to the IP address, a problem or error may occur during startup resulting in the WebLogic managed server not starting:
\n“Unable to create a server socket for listening on channel “Default”. The address ###.###.###.### might be incorrect or another process is using port ####: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: JVM_Bind.”<\/em>
\nTo fix this, you will need to modify some scripts so that the servers will listen on the new IP address:
\nA. startManagedWebLogic.cmd:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to Start –> All Programs –> Oracle Classic Instance — asinst_1 –> Forms Services<\/li>\n
  2. Right-click on Start Managed Server – WLS_FORMS<\/li>\n
  3. Select Properties<\/li>\n
  4. Change the IP address to the IP address your machine currently is<\/li>\n
  5. Apply changes and click OK<\/li>\n
  6. Repeat for Stop Managed Server – WLS_FORMS<\/li>\n
  7. Go to Start –> All Programs –> Oracle Classic Instance — asinst_1 –> Reports Services<\/li>\n
  8. Right-click on Start Managed Server – WLS_REPORTS<\/li>\n
  9. Select Properties<\/li>\n
  10. Change the IP address to the IP address your machine currently is<\/li>\n
  11. Apply changes and click OK<\/li>\n
  12. Repeat for Stop Managed Server – WLS_REPORTS<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    B. config.xml:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Go to C:\\Oracle\\Middleware\\user_projects\\domains\\FormsDomain\\config<\/li>\n
    2. Make a backup of config.xml. This is important so you will have a backup just in case.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    3. Open config.xml in a text editor<\/li>\n
    4. Replace all occurrences of the old IP address with the new IP address by using the Replace tool in the text editor<\/li>\n
    5. Save all changes and close the file<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      C. Hosts file<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Go to C:\\Windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc<\/li>\n
      2. Make a backup of the hosts file. This is important so you will have a backup just in case.<\/strong><\/li>\n
      3. Open up the hosts file in a text editor.<\/li>\n
      4. If your old IP address is mapped to your hostname, change the IP address to the new one.<\/li>\n
      5. Save and close the file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        You should be able to start your WebLogic managed servers without fail.<\/p>\n

        NOTE: If you make a change to the hosts file and the WebLogic servers still fail to start up, restart your PC\/server and try again.<\/p>\n

        NOTE: Instead of the IP address, you can also use your PC\u2019s hostname.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
