One Fix - Server Controller not running on host or is not listening on port 2050

Test the port 2050 by bringing up a command prompt on the Domino Server and type:
netstat -a

Look through the results that scroll by and search for the port 2050. If this port shows up and is in the listening state, then your problem is Not with the port.

Next using the command prompt and type:
telnet localhost 2050

If you get a response on the port you now know that it has nothing to do with the servers local firewall or port 2050 from being blocked locally.

In the Data directory of the Domino Server open the file dconsole using notepad. Find the line that reads: LocalHost=
I had to edit this line in order for the domino java console to work once again.

Before the edit:
LocalHost=WindowsServerName:2050

After I edited the line:
LocalHost=DominoServerCANONICALIZEDName:2050

This fixed my issue.
