I have some weird port issues. I have created PAS server with the following command: "tcman create -p 9110 -P 9111 -s 9112 -j 9113 -N pas-internal-dev {path_to_pas_server_here}"
When I try to start the server, I get the following error from agent log (other logs have no errors):

Neither of those ports (3334, 3534) is not mentioned in any PAS server configuration files or any progress configuration files. From the PAS server configuration (file: {path_to_pas_server}/conf/openedge.properties) the default AppServer.Agent port range is from 62001 to 62202.
If I change those ports to anything other than the default, I get the following error instead (where {PORT_NUMBER_HERE} is the first free port from beginning of the port range):

the system may be configured to not allow use of ports in a certain range.
Did you run netstat to see what is using the specified port range?
TCP is busy, no free ports available between min/max range (-3534 - -3334) (15765)
This looks a little odd since there are negative numbers in front of those ports. Maybe the port range is specified incorrectly?
> TCP is busy, no free ports available between min/max range (-3534 - -3334) (15765)
%s is busy, no free ports available between min/max range (%d - %d) (15765)
where %d is a signed two byte integer
So the real min/max range is 62002- 62202
With numbers that high, it could be ephemeral ports that are in use by outbound connections.
Also, I know the 4GL broker won't assign servers to ports that are defined in the services file, even if they are not currently in use. Does PASOE do the same?
I have checked with netstat that those ports are not in use. I have checked from /etc/services that there are no ports defined within that range. Those default ports are within ephemeral port range (40900-65535 on my pc), but I have tried it with ports that are outside it.
After some more debugging, when I change the minPort to anything lower than 61788, I get the second error instead.
I have tried it with multiple different minPort values including 3000, 8000, 12000, 40000. With all those ports I get the second error with the {PORT_NUMBER_HERE} being the minPort. I have also tested that I can start http-server on all of those ports.
