Cannot log in to WS7 admin interface

After restarting my WS7 admin server, I am seeing the following error in my admin-server/logs/errors file:

[13/Feb/2007:10:36:05] warning (13961):for host 127.0.0.2 trying to GET

I thought that perhaps a cookie with an invalidated session ID was being passed to the admin server, so I looked for any cookies that might be sent and deleted them, and it had no effect. I also quit and restarted my browser (firefox 2.0) but that also had no effect.

I am able to connect to the admin server with wadm and with the Netbeans WS7 plugin, just not via the web interface.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bill

As I said in my original post "After restarting my WS7 admin server..." - so yes, I did. I even tried it more than once, after restarting my browser, etc. and nothing changed.Thanks for the reply.Bill

Do you have the same problem when connecting from a different machine?

I was unable to reproduce this. Please could you describe the steps to reproduce the problem.Thanks.

Yes, this problem happens from other machines as well. I have discovered that if I wait for the session on the admin server to expire (the default is 60 minutes, though I have bumped mine to 720 minutes) then I am able to log in again. However, it is very inconvenient when this happens.

Thanks,

Bill

Are you able to reproduce the problem easily? If so, please describe the steps to do so.

Not really, no.

I think what I did is this:

1. Logged in to admin interface.

2. Modified web.xml to extend session timeout to 12 hours (720 minutes).

3. Stopped admin server from web interface.

4. Started admin server.

5. Tried to display web admin login screen, but saw "server error" message and found above stack trace in errors log.

I am not near the machine where I saw this problem at the moment, but will see if I can reproduce the error using some similar set of steps as above when I get back to it.

Thanks,

Bill
