Answer 1

this message is guiding towards port availability, looks like port 9000 is not avaiable for service bus, that's why it is throwing time out error.

• At this point collect the netstat information, run this in command line netstat -ano| findstr 9000)
• Check if the port 9000 is being used by any other application, if yes
• Re run the Config wizard and change the service bus port from 9000 to some other custom number.
