My WAS8 server refuses to start. I've restarted the server, cleaned it, removed all EARs, restarted RAD, restarted my computer, and even re-installed Websphere but the error remains. Any ideas, before I reinstall RAD?

A few things I would check:

  • Making sure the ports are set correctly and not occupied
  • If it's a secured profile, make sure the credentials are set correctly
  • Try to start the server in cmdline <WAS install dir/profiles/<profileName>/bin/startServer <serverName>
  • Try creating a new profile if none of the above works
