LocalHost Start up Error

Hey,

If someone can help me that would be great, because I can't even get Weblogic to start up. I am using Weblogic 9.2

Here is the start up error I get after running ./startWebLogic.sh

Can you ping vmrmiinfrasb013 ?

Some one seems to have solved that here -> http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=898657

Hi change the lister-port to : 7001



<name>AdminServer</name>
<listen-port>7002</listen-port>
<listen-port-enabled>true</listen-port-enabled>

Thanks for the help guys, it was the host file issue. So the port 7001 works if I don't have access to the hostfile.
