Websphere admin console not working

Question

I have trouble opening the admin console for the websphere server. The server is up and running though, the application deployed and all. The only problem is with the console which gives a 404 error. Does anyone know how to fix this? Maybe reinstall/restore the console somehow?

Thanks.

Solution 1

Check and make sure the DMGR is up and running on the primary node. Start --> Run --> Services.msc. Look for something that looks like "IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 - CellManager01" and ensure it is running. If not, browse to the installation location of Websphere "AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\logs\dmgr" and look in the Systemout.log and the SystemErr.log for details. Also look in the "AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\logs\ffdc" directory.

Solution 2

You can try to reinstall the admin console :

Goto C:\[PATH TO PROFILE]\bin

Then run the Jython commands, first to cleanup, then to reinstall :

wsadmin -lang jython -f deployConsole.py remove

Wait till the admin-console is uninstalled.

Now reinstall of administrative console (isclite) will complete without errors (hopefully)

wsadmin -lang jython -f deployConsole.py install

Admin console should work now.

I had a similar problem. I was able to solve it by:

1. Deleting the existing profile
2. Creating a new profile
3. Running the WAS in RAD with that newly created profile

Profile management :- Method :- RAD -> windows > prefereneces > server > websphere application server > selecting the websphere server 7.0 > click the run profile management tool button in the bottom section.
