I'm having trouble getting Database Control up and running in an Oracle Database 10g installation in RHEL4 Linux. I consistently see errors like these when I try to create or recreate the repository using emca:
SEVERE: Failed to allocate port(s) in the specified range(s) for the following process(es): JMS [5540-5559],RMI [5520-5539],Database Control [5500-5519],EM Agent [3938] | [1830-1849]

When I check these port ranges with netstat or lsof, nothing is running on those ports, and I can't figure out why Oracle can't work with them.

Thanks for any ideas you may have. Received on Mon Jul 16 2007 - 08:47:42 CDT
