    When I try to start the broker, this error message appears in the broker's log file:

    ERROR: Connection to <broker name> may already be established or rtserver may not be running
    ERROR: Initialization fails

    What does this mean and how can I correct the problem?

    Answer:
    This error message normally is seen when the rtserver process is already running when you try to start the broker.  The broker tries to start up another new rtserver process and finds it can't because the previous one still has control of port 5101.

    The solution is to make sure the rtserver process is shut down before restarting the broker.

    On Linux or unix, execute:

    ps -ef | grep rtserver

    and then kill any processes that are found

    On Windows,check in the task manager for any rtserver.exe processes that may be running and kill them

    After all rtserver processes have been eliminated, try again to restart the broker.
