Incorrect status of web server shown in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console

Troubleshooting


Problem

The WebSphere Application Server administrative console can sometimes show the wrong status for the web server. It might show "started" (green arrow) when the web server is really stopped. Or it might show "stopped" (red x) when the web server is really started.

Symptom

When you start an IBM HTTP Server web server from the administrative console, it might give an error message saying that the web server was not started, when in reality it was started successfully.
