Error Connecting to the Workflow Server

This error may occur in the Workflow Designer or when trying to configure Workflow. One possible reason for this is a port conflict between Workflow and other applications. To check whether there is a port conflict, open the Windows command line as an administrator and enter the following command:

netstat -ab > C:\netstat.txt

The output file contains a list of used ports and the services using them. Look for the port that the Workflow service is using. Ensure that no other services are using that port.

You can change the port that Workflow uses by opening the Workflow Configuration Manager, clicking on Configured in the Workflow Server row, and running through the configuration wizard. There will be a step in the wizard that lets you change the port used by Workflow.
