example error after successfully installed web as 6.40

[Former Member]

Hi, I am trying to install web as 6.4 Java on win2k3. Central Instance on one server, Oracle DB on second server. I went through the 3-step distributed installation process successfully. But when I typed in http://localhost:50000, I got error of Java can not unzip com.sap.engine.docs.examples.

I went to visual administrator, I saw a bunch of red crosses under services->deploy->servlet_jsp.

What went wrong? Is it possible that I re-deploy some of the applications like examples separately without re-installation?

Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Natalie,

> What went wrong?

It would be helpful if you pasted the stack trace of the exception you got when requesting http://localhost:50000. Also, having a look in the engine logs (/usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<N>/log/defaultTrace.trc) could give you some hint about the problem.

Yes! You can find the application archives in /usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/SDM/root/origin/sap.com/<app-name>/SAP AG/<version-number>. Just use the Visual Admin, Telnet console, or SDM GUI to deploy the *.ear files.

Hope it helps at least a bit!

Thanks a lot, Vladimir. I went to the log you pointed me to. It did not give me very much information. But I knew better about the J2EE server.

I solved it by going into admin console, and start com.sap.engine.docs.example service. Now I can see the examples and they all run fine.

Thanks.
