A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle / has not been defined

Question

I am getting following exception when trying to launch a store using Websphere commerce

A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle / has not been defined
SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle localhost:80 has not been defined.

I have tried this,

and this

but no use still getting error and unable to launch store(tried to launch store via Accelerator too).

What should I do to make it work properly?

Answer 1

Try the following:

-Access the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console

-go to Applications -> Applications Types -> Websphere Enterprise Applications

-choose WC module from main screen

-then go to Virtual Hosts

-most cases the "WC_default_host" will be defined for all sub modules, make sure of that, if that is the case and still is not working, try to choose "default_host" for all sub modules and then save changes and restart.

I faced that problem once, and this way I have fixed it in my case.
