No longer able to run Websphere Application Server v6.0 on my IBM RAD
I'm currently using a development machine for my java development works built by my colleagues. IBM RAD setup on this machine has IBM Websphere Portal setup with the server profile "Websphere Application Server v6.0" running, so I can test portal via the browser with "http://localhost:9081/wps/portal/home".
Today, I'm trying to setup my own dynamic web project on the RAD. When it comes to running the web application I accidentally override the server profile (Websphere Application Server v6.0) that the IBM Websphere Portal was using. What I did was I right click on my new project Run -> Run on Server -> Choose an existing server -> Websphere Application Server v6.0 -> Next -> Add and remove projects -> I added my new project to the right box -> Finish, which started the server automatically. After few minutes of "Starting...", the console display an error:

Extremely regreted what I did, which I should've used "Manually define a server" instead of "Choose an existing server" when running my new web project.
Now I couldn't get my Portal application back, no matter what I do. I've done research online, some posts say it could be conflicting ports used, some suggested to stop java.exe in task manager, but none worked. Even tried to reboot the machine, no luck. Finally tried to create a new server profile using "Manually define a server", but still getting the same error.
In summary, two questions:
1. How do I get my Portal application back?
2. How do I setup a second web project on the same machine as the existing Portal application?
Answer
Some process is using a port that is needed by WebSphere.
First try to restart the server, sometimes if WebSphere crashes the port doesn't get released properly.
If that doesn't help you need to identify which process is using the port.
See Port number settings in WebSphere Application Server versions to see the default ports (if you didn't change them) and the files the ports are configured in.
Then run netstat and look for a process that is using any of these ports, needless to say you need to make sure it doesn't.
