Resolution:

The error message means the "bind()" function failed and set errno to 226.  The meaning of specific errno values depends on the platform, where "bind()" is the socket's function that associates a TCP server socket with a port.

For example, if you are using HPUX 11i, 226 is EADDRINUSE: bind failed because another socket is already bound to that port.  You are trying to start an Enterprise Server that is configured to use a port which something else is using.  This is a standard Unix system administration issue which your administrator should have no problem identifying and correcting it.  The MFCS log should show what the conflicting port number is; a utility like lsof will show what is already bound to it.  The actual fix will depend on what the conflict is and how the system should be arranged.  An easy fix is to change the Enterprise Server configuration to use a different port or use a system-assigned one.
