Web application is not accessible on Liberty servers when running on Windows operating systems

Troubleshooting


Problem

In WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.5.1, if a Liberty server is started after a Windows machine has been rebooted, then the web application that is hosted on that server might not be accessible.

Symptom

For V8.5.5.1, if a Liberty server is started after a Windows machine has been rebooted, the Liberty logs show that the web application that is hosted on that server is available. The message in the log file is similar to the following message:

CWWKT0016I: Web application available (default_host): http://<host>:<port>/xxx.

However, when you try to access the web application using a browser, you might get an HTTP 404 (Not Found) error message because the application is not accessible using the specified port.
