Application Server does not start - OSGi permission issue

Troubleshooting


Problem

You attempt to start an application server (ie: server1), but it does not start and the systemout.log is not updated when using IBM WebSphere Application Server.

Symptom

The native_stdout.log shows:

deleteEclipseInstanceArea shutdown hook: deleting /app/wasprofile/profile1/temp/osgi_instance_location/wasadm/9697023

Under the folder there is a file called nnnnnnnnnnnnn.log (where nnnnnnnnnnnnn is a random number). The content of that file shows:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-01-17 10:00:31.414

!MESSAGE Error reading configuration: Unable to create lock manager.

!STACK 0

java.io.IOException: Unable to create lock manager.
