Problems configuring node manager

 

Problems starting node manager after WLS 10.3.5 install (I know it’s old – I was augmenting an existing install).

Chose the JDK, used two different JRoickits…  Still nodemanager would never start, got the following:

So the nodemanager that was part of the install kept breaking.  I installed WLS a number of times and still no luck, so I manually did the node manage again and all was good!

 

D:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin>setWLSEnv.cmd

Uninstalled existing nodemanager (using D:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin>uninstallNodeMgrsvc.cmd)

 

Then installed again.

D:\oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin>installnodemgrsvc.cmd

 

The it worked!!!   Aarrgghhh
