Admin Login Fails with Non-Standard Port

I just installed FSMS 4 and could not log into the

administration piece (the login s would fail) even

though I was using the ID and password specified

in the fms.ini file.

During the installation I had specified a different port

for the administration port.  I changed the port back

to 1111 and I could log in with no problem.

Why is the admin login failing if I don't use 1111 as

the admin port number ?

    Most likely the port is closed in the network system, either the network itself or the server. Check that first.

    This was on the local machine (localhost)

    with the Windows Firewall service disabled

    so it's neither of the things you mentioned.

    Also, the port I attempted to use is not already

    in use by another application.

    Ok can you find and try few things:

    After you change your admin port - did you see if Admin Server started?

    How did you try to login - using Admin Console?

    Now if your Admin Server did not start at all - please check admin.00 and master.00 logs and see if you can see something there

    Now if your Admin Server did start - instead of using Admin Console - can you try Admin Commands i.e. Http way. You can just try ping command which is enabled by default

    i.e. http://<serverip>:<port>/admin/ping?auser=admin&apswd=admin

    If this command succeeds that means your Admin Server is running but there is some issue with Admin Console (may be even that it always tries to connect using port 1111)

    Let me know your findings and i can help you further
