As a solution you need to resolve the port conflict

Usually this problem is caused by port conflict. Corba name service is using the port 1050 as a listening port. You have two solutions :

Shutdown the application using the port 1050

Identify the process id of the conflicting process

> netstat -anb |find /i "listening"

Result should look like:

TCP    0.0.0.0:135            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1984
TCP    0.0.0.0:445            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4
TCP    0.0.0.0:3389           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1904
TCP    0.0.0.0:33115          0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1508
TCP    0.0.0.0:50313          0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       2932
TCP    10.137.176.162:139     0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4
TCP    127.0.0.1:1050         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1580
TCP    127.0.0.1:5152         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1096

The process id is 1580

You can now use your Windows Task Manager and kill the process identified with the PID 1580

Change the Naming port

Open the port in the file /var/config/config-substitutions.properties

Change the line

COSNamingPort = 1050

with

COSNamingPort = 1051
