weblogic cannot start E1 web instance with server manager

This is becoming a little frustrating.

Because weblogic redeploys the application after EVERY restart from the owl_deployment directories under jde_home – if you have any directories locked or explorer open on any of these directories accidently – the application cannot redeploy and will not start.

If you goto http://servername:7001/console and look at the application, you’ll see that it’s running!

You’ll see that it’s running in WLS, but JDE states it’s not.

Remove all of the locks on the runtime dirs, oracle\middleware\user_projects…

Then stop application from wls console

Then start from SM
