I did that prior to posting in the forum; have dealt with port conflicts in the past, so was used to debugging that way. Unfortunately, there are no port conflicts: none of the ports in use by the CF instance are being used elsewhere on the system as far as the output in the text file shows. I also tried changing the ports (Shutdown, Connector, Redirect) to other ports, but the results were the same error message. I will work on it again this afternoon, and let you know the results.
