How to Fix WebSphere’s Failed to Start Service
Today im trying to start my IBM WebSphere from Windows Service, but it keeps showing error. And i cant even starting WebSphere from Command Prompt. This is the error on my WebSphere error log file.
[18/10/12 18:59:12:760 ICT] 00000000 WindowsServic 3 Timed out waiting for service to respond to command, after 60 seconds. Failed to start service, or timed out while waiting for start to complete. Check the logs for details. [18/10/12 18:59:12:760 ICT] 00000000 AdminTool A ADMU7704E: Failed while trying to start the Windows Service associated with server: server1; probable error executing WASService.exe: Starting Service: XNode01 Timed out waiting for service to respond to command, after 60 seconds. Failed to start service, or timed out while waiting for start to complete. Check the logs for details.
How to fix it is actually not too hard, i just delete server1.pid which located under my WebSphere logs folder and start my WebSphere again. Somehow WebSphere wont start if server1.pid exists.
This is the location for my logs folder
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\logs\server1
Have fun (F)
