WebSphere Application Server does not terminate at startup

Troubleshooting


Problem

If you try to start either a traditional IBM® WebSphere® Application Server or a WebSphere Portal Server in which security is enabled, Non-deferrable alarm messages appear in the Console log, the status of the server remains on Starting, and the Server WebSphere Application Server traditional v.x at localhost was unable to start within 300 seconds... message appears on the screen.

Symptom

The following steps recreate the problem scenario:
 
  1. Create and define a server with security-enabled settings
  2. Start the server
  3. Check the Console log
  4. Note the following:
  • There are Non-deferrable alarms in the Console log that are increasing
  • The server is stuck on the Starting status
  • The Server WebSphere Application Server traditional v.x at localhost was unable to start within 300 seconds... If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor message appears
If you start the server with the Command Prompt, no problems occur.
