Hello, Corona688

I have a problem with an application that does not start. An error appears in which it indicates that the port 7002, 7003 is being used.

Then it's probably being used by something.

See this topic for how to identify what process is using that port.

I can only emphasize what Corona688 already said: a port cannot be "released" - at least not from the system. Find out which application it uses and stop this application and/or reconfigure it to use another port. That is all one can do.

I hope this helps.

It took me a while to remember, but finally my failing memory spit something out: Websphere application server uses port 7002 as HTTPS-port. You might want to start investigating this.

I hope this helps.
