RAD - Websphere Application server won't start

Question

I am having issues with RAD7.

My server will not start for me today. I am working from home and connected to the VPN. Everything works except my server in RAD. It worked fine yesterday in work and had previously worked when I was at home but that was a few weeks ago.

Are there any settings that I should look out for? I have disabled my proxy settings in RAD and turned off everything in my firewall. I can ping all the DBs that the server is connecting to.

I have even removed all the projects from the server and it will still not start. It keeps trying and then times out after 300s.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Read the appserver logs.

Answer 2

I have had this problem once before. I wasn't able to figure out what went wrong, but deleting that server and creating a new one (under Window -> Preferences -> Server -> WebSphere Application Server) fixed the problem.

Answer 3

Re the file not found exception. Make sure the directory path in Windows is of the CoRRectCase, e.g., GALFTGA342130Node01Cell-> galftga342130Node01Cell. I've encountered this on various RAD installations.
