Suspected as much. :)

Seems a port-bind of "127.0.0.1:xxxx" or "localhost:xxxx" isn't all that uncommon.

I'm guessing it's to prevent the server from possibly being exposed to the internet before it's configured properly.

Changing it to just ":xxxx" should solve it, as you found out.

Hi Selmer,

thanks for getting back ..so the bind in the config had localhost;port - i removed localhost and restarted the instance .seem to come up fine.

That's good, but it could help others who come in later if you posted what you did to diagnose the issue, and what you did to solve it? ;)
