TFS build agent, same port as team server?

Question

My team foundation is setup to use port 8080, when I am creating a new build agent it defaults to port 9191.

Which one should I use?

I am getting an error when I try and run my build, it says the build agent was unreachable.

I created a share on my drive c:\tfsbuilds, and I added the TFSService account and gave it full rights.

I am using the \computername\tfsbuilds as my path to the builds folder.

What else could be wrong?

Error message

Team Foundation Build on computer TFSBUILDS.MyServer1.local (port 9191) is not responding. (Detail Message: Unable to connect to the remote server)

Answer 1

Has the Build service been started? This is probably the most common issue as the service will need to be started first. And yes, 9191 is the default port for the build agents. Can you also check your firewall?
