error opening socket to server localhost/127.0.0.1 on port 50.
How do I open the port?

Is this happening on the Windows client or the UNIX server? Where are you seeing the message? This is to the loopback IP address, if on the windows client do you have TCP/IP installed (i.e. try a "ping localhost" or "ping 127.0.0.1")

Is port #50 blocked by any firewall software?
Port #50 is usually reserved for remote mail checking protocol; it seems odd that this would be needed by an installation script.
