Please help

You are listening the all 65535 ports on all IP addresses. Some ports are not available, because they are used otherwise.

Yes…You are right.Ports are unavailable not because they are being used but they were not enabled. As soon as i add a iptable rules to enable them, i am bale to start the service… Thanks a lot…
