which file to specify the admin console port number

[Steve]

I just installed Websphere 6.1 in AIX box. There are existing
websphere 6.0 is running. I know the default admin console port number
is 9060, when I start the deploy manager, I got the following error.
My question is which file to specify the admin console port number. I
have no idea what port 8879 for here.

ADMU3028I: Conflict detected on port 8879. Likely causes: a) An
instance of
the server dmgr is already running b) some other process
is using
port 8879
ADMU3027E: An instance of the server may already be running: dmgr
ADMU0111E: Program exiting with error:
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException:
ADMU3027E: An
instance of the server may already be running: dmgr

please advice.
thanks!!

port 8879 is the default SOAP port for the dmgr. You can change the
port numbers in
<was_root>/profiles/<dmgr_profile>/config/cells/<cell_name>/
<dmgr_nodename>/serverindex.xml

for example:
/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/dmgr/config/cells/wasCell/nodes/
dmgrNode/serverindex.xml

I had quite a few issues when changing the ports of the Deployment
Manager (because the port is often hardcoded in property files elsewhere).

IMO, an easier approach is to have one dmgr run on a specific IP address
and another dmgr on another, see

I must admit, it looks like more trouble than it could save, but it
worked better for us, ymmv.
