Question : Sybase Replication - Failed to start network listeners

Hi -

I installed and configured Sybase Replication Server 12.5. When I attempt to start it, the log file shows the following:

I. 2008/06/18 08:58:46. Server using Open Server version Sybase Server-Library/12.5.1/P-EBF12522-12521 ESD #8/DRV.12.5.1

T. 2008/06/18 08:58:47. (-1): Exiting due to a fatal error

I have sybase ASE on port 4100 and sybase replication server on 6100 so there is not conflict in ports. I dont believe anything else is running on 6100 unless I somehow started part of the replication during configuration by accident.

Any ideas?

Answer : Sybase Replication - Failed to start network listeners

These are very general error messages. So you need to check a few things.

netstat -a | grep 6100

This shows you whether 6100 has already being used.

Also there might be a problem with interfaces file, access issue, corrupt file or something else.
